The folks at Bloodshot Records have taken upon themselves to celebrate their Quinceañera by reconstructing the singular atmosphere of Austin on one of those spring afternoons so heady, the calendar must read South By Southwest. A worthy project, indeed, if we do say so ourselves.

Alt.Country, power pop, loud rockabilly, and love songs. If you enjoy any or all of the things we've just mentioned, make it a priority to head to Stubb's tonight. For almost 15 years, Dallas-based The Old 97's have been playing a mixture of the music they love. The band started on Bloodshot Records as a loud, rough-hewn alt.country bar band, then slowly evolved their sound into something catchy and polished enough that the love songs from 2001's Satellite Rides would have fit in fine on a Grey's Anatomy montage. In fact, the band were recently featured in an extended scene in the Vince Vaughan film The Break-Up, and indie-rock whipping boy Zach Braff has also placed their songs in some Scrubs episodes.
