Decibully

Don't be fooled by the fact that the seven fellows in Decibully play banjos and pedal steel and other seemingly unassuming instruments and have pretty harmonies and often use handclaps as percussive accompaniment and every now and then whip out an acappella tune or two. Decibully's music is indeed here to push you around -- but in a very nice, polite, Midwestern kind of way. That is to say, the band's sound is the product of punk, country, and electropop influences colliding in interesting ways. The rhythm section will knock you down, but William Seidel's mournful voice will offer you a contrite and apologetic hand up with assistance from the melancholy lyrics and twisting, intricate harmonies.

Decibully's latest album, Sing Out America!, was the end product of some incessant touring in support of their previous recorded effort, City of Festivals, and very nicely captures the energy and magic of the band's live shows.

What This Is
See You in the Pit is an MP3 blog exclusively featuring artists who will be playing the SXSW Music Festival, because the best way to learn about music is to hear it. This weblog will self destruct on March 22nd. You have been warned.

Queen of the Front Row is a twenty-something music fan in New York City who spends more time looking for new bands than she'd care to admit. She can usually be found watching live music in divey clubs on the Lower East Side. She loves that everybody she knows from NYC ends up in Austin for SXSW.

Little Miss Rock'n'Roll is very pissed off that the management of Emo's has repainted the ladies' loo red, masking that gloriously nasty pink paint and all that graffiti. It looks like a circle of hell now. Anyway, she'd like you to know that she's lived in Austin for nearly 12 years now and still knows all the secrets about you and that local musician you think you'd like to date.

Last Girl to the Party is always the last girl to the party...usually because she's fretting about what to wear. She has lived in Austin for 9 years, knows which bars maintain supplies of Campari and Pernod and which serve Stella Artois in those annoying goblets. She'd also like you to know that she has more shoes than Queen of the Front Row and Little Miss Rock'n'Roll combined.
