Kevin in a Tele
As he titled it.
A while back Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal (am hearting the double 'of' :) wrote a very kick-ass op-ed about SXSW for my mag Toaster. Unfortunately the article only appeared in print - not online. Anyway, I galvanized my contributors including Paul of Maximo Park, Nick of the Kaiser Chiefs, and Chris of the Chalets into shooting themselves - not suicide style, but with a camera. Did you know the theme of the yearbook one year at Lincoln High School was "Shoot Yourself?" - so wildly inappropriate, so wildly wonderful!
The above is how Kevin chose to capture himself.
I discovered the band via this track on MTV indie radio in early 2004. As I've said before (4th item), for that brief stretch of time, that site changed my indie life.
