Look out Austin!

Hey, what are you doing March 17th? Oh, you're going to be drinking green beer downtown. Huh, that's cool. Me? Yeah, I 'm gonna be playing music in Austin during the South by Southwest Fest!

The official fest is hosting 1,300 bands over the week long event including Iggy Pop and the Stooges ... um, Iggy Pop ... 'the hell?

We're playing a festival organized by GoGirlsmusic.com during the last weekend. My band, Riveter, is playing Saturday night, March 17.

That's right, baby ... St. Paddy's Day.

This is a huge deal for us. I mean, it's SXSW week in Austin. We can hardly contain ourselves and because we're a bunch of girls, we have to get together often, stand in a little circle clutching one another while jumping up and down screaming like leeettle girls — or not.

No, because we're adult girls (no, that isn't oxymoronic) we get together often do shots of Jaeger and get tattoos — or not.

Maybe we sit quietly and hold each other while we sob quietly over our good fortune — um, definitely not.

Really, we get together often, practice like hell, arrange to have an EP with four brand-new songs and get a show locally a week before our trip so we can kick off this adventure the right way ... by playing the gay bar in town — because we're girls who know how to rock!
