[notes]

Pierre de Reeder:

"One tid bit I can give about your SXSW question... we never actually played the SXSW music festivel in, what, '99... we played a week or two before it during the indie movie fest. It was for the Desert Blue premiere that we had some songs in... and the show was us and Cat Power. But the exact date..???"

With Sundance '99 in the books, domestic festival eyes will turn to Austin, TX for the annual South by Southwest Film Festival, running March 12 - 20th. "Desert Blue," Morgan J. Freeman's follow-up to the Sundance '97 award-winner "Hurricane Streets," will open the event with its U.S. premiere. The film, starring Brendan Sexton III, Christina Ricci, Kate Hudson, Casey Affleck, and Sara Gilbert, debuted in Toronto last fall and was subsequently acquired by Samuel Goldwyn.

Pierre de Reeder:

"Cool... though there's one thing wrong... that show was at some club on the main street of Austin, some little hall above a jazz club I think, not the austin convention center."
