SXSW 2009 Session Recap – The Frontier Brothers
When we were investigating some local bands for our SXSW bookings this year, we came across a great record called Space Punk Starlet from The Frontier Brothers. While the band have called Austin home since
2006, they have quite an interesting mythology. You see, the Dallas Observer have already called them “the love children of Randy Newman and Stephen Malkmus”, but it goes farther than that. Much farther in fact, as they claim to be from a planet over “700 billion light years away” in our interview where every band sounds like U2.
A quick online search yields several videos of the band in brightly colored, skintight spandex outfits, roaming the streets of Austin during last year’s SXSW. While their spacesuits weren’t on for this session (they decided on their “human disguises”), they explain how the Austin music scene is so strong that even bands from other planets want to call it home.
In this live performance, you’ll hear several cuts from Space Punk Starlet, the band’s debut full-length album. You find it online digitally or order a cd from cdbaby.com!
