Austin at SXSW: L.A.X.
You might have seen Austin-based L.A.X. play at the 2009 ACL Festival. They’re back in the local spotlight again and will take the SXSW stage on Saturday, March 20 at 11 p.m. for their official showcase at Lambert’s. The electropop outfit formed in 2005 with original members Andrew Collins and Erin ‘Dancin’ Jantzen. The duo were eventually joined by Yadira Brown, Jon Oswald, Chris D’Annunzio and Rory Phillips. Erin, Andrew, and Yadira answered our SXSW questions and shared what you can expect to experience during their showcase with us via e-mail.
Describe your sound. Epic dance soundscape.
What can SXSW attendees expect at your showcase? A highly energetic performance of eerily familiar yet completely original music.
What other acts are you excited to check out?
Andrew: Tow The Line. Yadira: Best Coast. Erin: She & Him.
Are you planning to go to any panels? Airing your Dirty Laundry: Therapy or Revenge (our dear Friends panel, should be pretty funny).
What are some Austin must-do or must-sees for out-of-towners? Alamo Drafthouse is a must, which is easy to hit if you’re here for the Film Festival. Also, watch the sunrise at Mt. Bonnell after an all-night bender and then go get breakfast tacos.
Where do you like to hear live music, when it’s not SXSW? Bass Concert Hall on the U.T. campus., Mohawk, and The Parish.
What’s your favorite ‘only in Austin’ thing to do? Live in Austin. Seriously.
Finish this sentence: ‘Industry folks and visiting bands, while we love having you as guests of our city, please don’t…’…ever move here.
