SXSW Preview: Quiet Life

Feb. 27, 2012 in Events, Music, Party, SXSW, SXSW 2012

Quiet Life, a band currently residing in Portland, Oregon, will join SAY at The Speakeasy in Austin, Texas for SXSWi. Traveling in a van powered by vegetable oil, they are "...a pleasing mix of down-tempo folk and ripping electric jams," (KEXP.) Their sound is often associated with those bands of the Laurel Canyon era and compared to the likes of Wilco, The Band and Springsteen. Recently on tour with Alabama Shakes and Dr. Dog they are developing a steady local and national following.

Quiet Life sound like they stumbled from Big Pink, with a rambunctious roots sound that would make Robbie Robertson smile from ear-to-ear.
