Schieffer's Out of Gov Race
San Francisco rockabilly-Americana outfit Trainwreck Riders are coming for their SXSW ever, and they're doing it in grand style: apart from their Wednesday night showcase at Dirty Dog Bar, they'll be playing the free +1 House Party and NY2LON's private Saturday evening afterparty. The following are responses from three of the four lads -- Andrew (lead guitar, vocals), Pete (lead vocals, guitar), and Garritt (bass, vocals).

Pete: We played a show on the Lamar pedestrian bridge where we just plugged right into the bridge. The train went by while we were playing our set and it sounded really cool. One of my favorite shows that we've ever played.
