    Seriously now Perez. You went to Austin. For a few days. Austin is hardly country (or not enough that it'd cling). Additionally, it is so so sad that sxsw has become what it has. Sure, it's great for our local economy, but it's terrible for our morale. Alas.

    GOOD GRIEF! If I wanted to hear a music review from a REAL CRITIC, I would go to a MUSIC REVIEW site! Stick to what you know… uneducated grammar and copying from other gossip sites!

    Good music is always good music…hard core rap is my preference but have always appreciated other genres, if it's good music. And, yes, Perezy the Avett Brothers are good music…

    I've been a fan of the Bros. for some time, and it is lovely that you, Perez, with all your exposure are choosing a band that truly deserves the love and attention. The Bros. Rock!
    Give them boys some props!

    dear perez…
    the knitters, elvis costello, uncle tupelo, whiskeytown, g.o.b. iron, just to name a few…all of whom are a hell of a lot more important then the avett brothers, at least concerning alt. country.

    Congrats on discovering what many Southerners already know….Avett Brothers are awesome!! Thanks for turning on more people to their beautiful sound. I hope they get all the recognition they deserve because they are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

    It warms my heart to know that you've discovered the Avett Bros. and thought it would be a good idea to give them some (much deserved!) publicity! Right on.

    First of all…. they're not in the forefront… Old 97s have been around for years.

    very impressed w/ your pick. seen them twice and they are FAB-U-LOUS and quite sexy when they sweat, stomp their feet, and play the banjo.

    Yay! I'm so glad the Avett Brothers are starting to spread to larger audiences. They are an incredible band and as awesome as their cds are, they don't even begin to do them justice! They are by far the best LIVE act I've ever seen! Do yourselves a favor and hit them up in concert! You won't regret it!

    I second the Langhorne Slim suggestion–they're a trio from NYC & they're amazing. Also, you should check out the everybodyfields!!! They're on the same label as The Avett Bros. (Ramseur).

    w00t w00t for the Avetts!!! Probably one of the best things to make it out of this place, by that I mean North Carolina.

    The Avett Brothers are an amazing group of guys! They are so talented, but humble and polite at the same time. Any of their albums would make a great addition to your collection. I have been following these boys since they were playing for free back in '02. They have come a long way and will probably go much further! Please check them out! They will be here in Cali this month!!
