SXSW Secret Showcase
Secret Salaryman show at Emo’s in the afternoon, put on by Rave Booking, Steel Pole Bath Tub’s agent. An incredible band named 16 Deluxe was the headliner, and we set up in the back of Emo’s outside next to some picnic tables. As we were setting up I noticed tables of food, and later, tons of ultra hip-looking people, and I was actually pretty scared. All these people were looking sideways at us, just as I’d be doing if I saw a band with about 6 keyboards laying on picnic tables and dusty ground, with a drumset setup in the middle. Once we started playing, I glanced up once to see people standing and watching us. It wasn’t too bad – and the songs seemed to work really well this show! We played 3 sets, believe it or not – and sold about 40 Salaryman CDs. Yes, the street date on the Salaryman CD is April 1st, but we have some advance copies of it.
