Small Room Collective Launches at SXSW!

So sad to see you go again SXSW. How we love you! Small Room Collective kicked off our shoes at Charm School Vintage on March 16 with compadres CSV, Coco Coquette, Maison D’Etoile,and Riot Act Media.

Nathan of Riot Act put together a stellar line-up which included Social Studies(Natalia Rogovin’s Beach House-esque steel-mit butter chops over lanceted drums, tenderly-felt electric guitar pardonings and spare electronica), Brass Bed(delicious, never-stop-spooning folkily embellished garage potatoes), Jess Williamson and Callie Hernandez(every line feels like something–maybe a tiny knife turning in your heart?–with this beauty meets broodiness duo, and Williamson–this lady is a lyricist), Renny Wilson(this man can dance!), The Pharmacy(fuzzy melodies with garagey loveability + super cool dudes from Seattle), Dana Falconberry(With comparisons to Joanna Newsom, but somehow beyond them. She never ceases to amaze with her ability to connect AND transcend. What a gorgeous and honest talent), Matt Bauer, and Mirror Travel.

Thank you to our friends from Topo Chico who provided fountains of fresh bubbly mineral water and Dulce Vida Tequila and PBR provided happy-time libations. Tacos happened there too–from the glorious big yellow food truck–the utterly huggable Fork In The Road from Palestine, Texas. Old-soul talent Ben Aleshire composed on-the-spot poetry from his typewriter. And we sat out front in the Small Room Collective silver bullet pop-up shop accompanied by fashion soldier and fellow nomad heart Meghan of AFIA! Plus sweetheart Devaki Knowles of Fun Loving Photos snapped the day, check out her photos here! And many many, too many, so many, lots and lots, a million b'jillion, y mas special thanks to ModCloth, Darling Magazine, and Beauchamping for super sweet gifts for the party! We heart you all!
