Stem and Leaf Records Celebrate Launch!
Ushering in this season's South By Southwest reveleries is a party celebrating the launch of Marshall Escamilla and Emily Summerfield's label, Stem and Leaf Records. In a short letter to Austinist, Summerfield described her label as seeking a musical partnership in which "the songwriting is earnest, and that is consistently true, whether the songs are about girls, zombies, historical figures or whatever." The production of each album will reflect aesthetic values from the vinyl era, in which the musical and visual layers are mutually dependent, and which aspire to a level of artistry formerly available in gatefold albums.
We can't recommend highly enough this feast of music and drink and games. A no-holds barred geography bee will commence, with prizes by businesses both local and global, matches between bands, and prizes by Rand McNally, Buffalo Exchange, End Of An Ear, and Toy Joy. The party will take place at Victory Grill, with music from Peel, The Interest Kills, the Handsome Charlies, the Happy Bullets, the Unbearables [mp3s available within links]. Come and get yer ya-ya's out.
