News: Rachael Ray Asks Battles, Holy Fuck to Play SXSW Party
via Pitchfork: Today by Amy Phillips on January 30, 2008
Holy Fuck indeed
When we saw this on Idolator, we were like, no fucking way. Yes,we already knew foodie superstar Rachael Ray is an indie rock fan-- she put tweegroup the Boy Least Likely To (along with Nellie McKay and Puffy Amiyumi) onher Too Cool for School Mixtape for Kids backin the fall of 2006.
But there's a bigdifference between the Boy Least Likely To's gentle coos and the abrasive instrumental art rock purveyed by Battles and Holy Fuck. I mean,if you try cooking to this stuff, you might end up with a whole arm chopped upin a blender.
Regardless, we've just received confirmation that yes,Rachael Ray did indeed invite Battles to perform at her SXSW party. And HolyFuck too! (Can you even say that word on the Food Network?) Alas, Battles won'tbe participating-- they aren't doing SXSW at all this year. No word yet on HolyFuck.
According to this Earl Boykins post, Rachael's party is called "FEEDBACKShowcase...a feast of hot bands and tasty foods" and is taking place Saturday,March 15 from 12pm to 6 pm (rumor has it that it will take place at BeautyBar).
We're sure of one thing though: no matter which bands play,this party is going to have the best catering table at SXSW.
