I’m speaking on a panel next Saturday (12th), along with some of Austin’s most prominent women of rock! My panel is about staying healthy on the road, something I have a lot of experience in as a touring musician with food allergies (which led me to also become a certified holistic nutritionist last year), but there are also panels about subjects I am (so far!) blissfully ignorant about: ‘Crossing the Line: When Fans Get Too Close’ (stalker-tastic!) and ‘Do Music and Motherhood Mix?’, among others. The whole day should be very fun and informative. Hope to see you there!

Here’s a run down of the full day’s events, from meowonline.org:

Austin Texas based Sally Crewe & The Sudden Moves have done it again. Transmit​/​Receive is everything a Power Pop album should be, winning hooks and crunchy guitars that compliment electrifying vocals and smart songwriting. The energy and impact of the music is felt full force starting with “Make Me Stay” and continuing through this short but powerful EP. There is no filler here. Transmit​/​Receive is an instant party – just pop it in and turn it up, and enjoy it! -Curty Ray, PPO

This September, Sally Crewe & The Sudden Moves embark on a package tour of the US with Tommy Keene and Doug Gillard Electric, creating something of a dream bill for fans anywhere along the power pop spectrum. This could be the show of the year. We suggest you get there early.

First ‘Transmit/Receive’ review!

August 19, 2011

From Powerpopaholic: Sally Crewe & The Sudden Moves “Transmit/Receive”EP Even power pop legend Tommy Keene compared Sally Crewe to female rockers Chrissie Hynde and Polly Harvey. The comparison is quite accurate, as her vocals are powerful and very melodic, and the opener “Make Me Stay” is a riff heavy classic. Crewe is based in Austin, [...]

The Cars are back! And they’re stealing our art!

February 25, 2011

Popmatters just informed me that one of my all time favourite bands, The Cars, are releasing their first new album in 24 years.  And on Matt’s birthday, no less (and 3 days before mine). Woot. What’s weird, though, is their album sleeve and the video for the single both contain some visuals that are eerily [...]
