SXSW Tour Diary 2008, #2

Well, the second band we asked to report back from the festival is on their way. Garage punk band The Debauchers will be playing some off-SXSW shows that will surely prove just as unpredictable and alcohol-laden as the main fest itself (see their MySpace page for a full schedule). As they drive down to Texas, we've received our first shout out back from lead guitarist, and editor of the Chi-Town Daily News, Geoff Dougherty. It's short and sweet.

Subject: The joys of Arkansas

The debauchers are at a truck stop near hope, ark., after driving all night from our show in Carbondale.

Arkansas is full of charming people who cook excellent biscuits. We've learned that sleeping in the car is not really sleeping.
