Hangin’ with The Constellations in Austin for SXSW

Last night, I got a chance to catch The Constellations open up for the band Metric at the Levis – Fader Fort. First off, the fort is sick.  It reminds me of those old traveling carnivals from way back when. The Constellations put on a great show even though they had like 10 minutes of sleep. They are currently on tour with The Postelles and Hockey.  After the show, I got chance to talk to all of them about SXSW and their experiences so far. Take a listen to this candid conversation. You will hear them talking about everything from Andrew W.K. to Rib Eating Contest to helping bring awareness to Breast Cancer.

Then after all the guys were gone from the band, I sat down with the lovely ladies of The Constellations, Shab & Alaine.  It was really a great conversation.
