The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart Announce Lengthy Tour, Play Every SXSW Showcase Ever

If you’re in a buzz band and it’s the middle of March, chances are pretty good that you’ll either be on your way to Austin, TX for the annual SXSW Music Conference or already drunk, double-fisting Lone Star beers with David Cross. Since The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, with their self-titled debut (TMT Review), are relative newbies to this whole buzz-band phenomenon, I thought I’d share a few tips with them about how to not overexert themselves during one of the TEN showcases that they are playing over FOUR DAYS:

- Need to sober up? Go shove some BBQ in your face at Stubbs.
- Feel like throwing up after all that BBQ? Place a bucket onstage next to your guitar amp.
- Drunk again at 3 AM after playing your final showcase? Resist those sketchy late-night tacos; you’ll be shitting on the entire plane ride back to New York.

Good luck, dudes:
