This psychedelic/pop/country combo from Austin is going on a Southwest tour. They opened the Rainbow Quartz showcase at SXSW last year ; they signed with RQ after Jim McGarry saw their showcase. From their bio : The Summer Wardrobe has its own unique sound that draws from a diverse panoply of influences. Their debut LP on Rainbow Quartz evokes favorable comparisons to such artists as Rain Parade, Good Earth-era Feelies, Tom Petty, and labelmates/fellow Austin underground heroes Cotton Mather. http://www.rainbowquartz.com/artists.asp?BC=SW Saturday, January 20 -- Zeppelin's, El Paso Monday, January 22 -- The Hut, Tucson Tuesday, January 23 -- The Bean, Las Cruces Wednesday, January 24 -- Atomic Cantina, Albuquerque Friday, January 26 -- Ramada Palms, Las Cruces Saturday, January 27 -- Ego's, Austin Review in the Wichita City Paper: http://www.wichitacitypaper.com/articles/article.179.shtml Between The Scourge of the Sea and The Summer Wardrobe, mid-’80s underground pop is in fine hands. Borrowing a page or two from The Feelies and Lloyd Cole, this fine, subtle quartet adds intriguing T.Rex-inflected vocals to tracks such as “Sparkle and Fade” and the absolutely attitudinal “Underground.” But there’s room to mix up country colors and space rays (“Redbook” ) and to go surprisingly and strangely epic on “Outcry in the Barrio,” “Daisy Cutter” and “One More Try.” If there’s fault to be found with The Summer Wardrobe it may be that the band’s a little too subtle and smart to find an overwhelmingly welcoming mainstream audience but methinks that the boys know this by now. Great listening, great record. _________________________________________________________________ Type your favorite song.  Get a customized station.  Try MSN Radio powered by Pandora. http://radio.msn.com/?icid=T002MSN03A07001
