ACK! I have the creeping-crud-sore-throat-sinus-infection that so often accompanies the rock and roll lifestyle. The kissing and handshaking of a festival, and then the dastardly plane ride home. In this case, taking an extra three hours because San Francisco was fogged in, and we were unable to take off. So the trip home became a 12 hour affair. So I had to visit the walk-in clinic today for some antibiotics. It hurts to talk, and well, that's just bad. Well maybe my silence is not bad for some people. Just ask Beans, and he'll say it's hard to get a word in edgewise with me. So my laptop becomes even more essential. I also met a singer at the clinic today who said she'd had this throat thing going on for a month. Perish the thought! I am living on ice pops and Hall's® Mentho-Lyptus, and typing away. Life is grand.
It is a good week when you can see The Trishas twice. Not that we expected that, but when we brought you the Raul Malo video for "Sinners & Saints" on Tuesday, there they were, in all their glory. The new CD They Call Us The Trishas is out, though they call it a mini-album, not an EP. We look forward to more from them soon, as this is a time for writing, growing, and becoming everything their promise holds. The road trip continues for them tonight in Conroe, Texas for the Cajun Catfish Festival. Mmmmnn, that sounds DELICIOUS. And fun! They have lots of other Texas dates coming up, and will be back to play the MusicFest at Steamboat Springs in Colorado this coming January. It is an incredible lineup there again this year. Meantime, click here for the rest of The Trishas' schedule. We bring you a SXSW 2010 performance of the song "Moses."
