SXSW Recap: Julie Doiron at Spider House

I was so happy to get to see Julie Doiron since I'm so in love with her recent album. I'm even more in love with her after seeing her play. She was one of the sweetest performers I've seen - she kept asking the audience for requests and got so disappointed when someone shouted out a song she didn't remember. We heard all about the taxi ride she got to the venue, what she had had for breakfast and other details of the day she felt obliged to share. Her simple line-up with Fred Squire on drums and herself on guitar worked really well. They made some of the songs a lot funkier than they are on the album which I liked a lot.
