SXSW 2009 Session Recap – The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

pains1
When we started our 4th day of broadcasts from Austin, we had already crossed the halfway point. We were feeling really good about everything that had happened so far and were looking forward to getting down to our last 3 days in the studio. Our very first performance on Thursday was with The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, a Brooklyn band that went into the festival with loads of solid buzz over their debut disc on the Slumberland label. We started playing the album in early January and were excited to have the band play.

Alex, Kip, Kurt and Peggy arrived at the studio at 8am and were ready to go. There wasn’t an ounce of pretension, as you might possibly expect from a band living in the middle of a perfect storm of publicity, hype, and 13 or so scheduled performances during the week. Nope, they came right in, grabbed some coffee, and started to set up.

During the session, they talked a bit about how they essentially formed as a band so that they could play for Peggy’s birthday party, their love for Dairy Queen while on the road, and even performed a brand new song called “103″, which should be released as a 7″ single later this summer.
