The Shaky Hands: Why & How Come

The Move: The End

The move is complete and I am sitting at the bar table, a housewarming gift from my parents, in my new home. The stools make me feel tall, which never happens, but is a welcome feeling. I love the place and unpacking is coming along quite well. I have only 4 boxes left to unpack and two bratwursts on the grill outside, where I have a decent view of Queen Anne Hill and the Aurora Bridge atop Fremont.

Next week I'll be at SXSW. I'm hoping to do a MASSIVE FensePost update with all 5 reviews on Monday, but we'll see if I can pull it off. If you will be in Austin that week and want to meet up, send me an e-mail (fensepost@gmail.com) and I'll give you my number. So far the lineup includes, in alphabetical order:

Bears
Beirut
BOAT
The Faintest Ideas
The Lovely Sparrows
Peter Bjorn & John
The Pipettes
The Rapture
Voxtrot

The Shaky Hands are from Portland and they come recommended by eri-CH, a long-time FensePost contributor and KZUU DJ. The song is "Why & How Come" and it is off their self-title debut, out soon on Holocene Music. Read eri-CH's review (up 3/6/07) on FensePost.

You should really go to the SXSW Indiepop Hootenanny party on Thursday, March 15th at Lovejoys! The line-up is going to be: The Zebras (12PM) The Manhattan Love Suicides (1PM) Boat (2PM) Tullycraft (3PM) The Faintest Ideas (4PM) and Palomar (5PM). I think it's going to be super fun! - Sarah
