Sons and Daughters

Posted at 2:13 PM on January 4, 2008 by Christina Schmitt (3 Comments)

My computer monitor is littered with post-it notes to myself. One is a running list of bands I've heard on the Current and need to know more about. The band I keep coming back to lately is Sons and Daughters.

A Scottish gothabilly band with two girls/two guys, Sons and Daughters has been through town already, playing at the 7th Street Entry. My smug music friends say that "they are an awesome live band." Ooooh, I hate missing awesome live bands.

They haven't announced a repeat U.S. tour (looks like they'd rather tour Italy), but they do have one scheduled show at SXSW this year. If all my stars align, I will not miss this one.

Have you seen Sons and Daughters perform live? What cool live shows have your friends seen but you have missed?

btw, since the blog ate my other comment. they are indeed amazing live. they first opened for Franz at the Fine Line in '04, then came back that fall opening for Clinic. but that Entry headliner was definitely my favorite of the bunch.

it's crazy how much they remind me of the band X live...

also, the bassist for S&D is married to Roddy Woomble, the lead singer for Idlewild... lucky dude :)

Solace--
Thanks for the tip! Okay, so you're telling me they've been here three times in as many years? Have I had my head in the sand or what?

And funny you should mention X. I just loaded up "Los Angeles" and "Wild Gift" into my iPod and I've found that X songs segue nicely into Sons and Daughters songs.
