Brixton Sessions
We love Brixton. Not only did we get to open for the great Jeffry Lewis at the Windmill, but we also ate delicious BBQ afterwards and even did a Brixton Session at a nearby ‘park’. Thanks to Robin for filming and hanging.
Interview
HERE is an interview I did last month with Pennyblack Music. I had a couple of lagers in me at the time of questioning.
Sexy Doctors and European Oils
On the eve of my birthday, my mom’s favourite show, Grey’s Anatomy, featured “Trapped In The New Scene” (episdode 6-20). I also just finished playing the first show of the 5 & 1/2 week European tour. The shows are pretty stripped down, featuring me backed up by some friends here and there (Tavo, members of Wilderness of Manitoba, Oldseed and others) and includes stops in England, Scotland, Holland, Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland (see tour page for details). New dates are still being added (including May 31 at the Windmill in Brixton opening up for Jeffrey Lewis). Tell your friends and lovers to come and say hello.
Happy Spring,
Marc
Southern Souls
