Albert Hammond Jr.

By Michael Corcoran | Saturday, March 17, 2007, 03:17 PM

Best cover at SXSW this year? Could be “Postal Blowfish” by Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. It was about 3 a.m. at the Blender House, a converted office building at Fourth Street and Congress Avenue, and all I was getting from Hammond was that he was the one responsible for the Strokes sound. All they needed was a wasted singer, and it could’ve been the Strokes in that little 200-capacity room. But then he went “Postal” on the Guided By Voices song, and the set just seemed to catch fire.
