Levitation Interviews: Strange Lot
Levitation Festival kicks off on Thursday here in Austin with a great lineup of bands coming into town for shows going down all over downtown. It should be another good time to catch up with some old palls while hopping between venues near and around Red River. As things are now just a few days away, we’ll try to sneak in a couple more of these interviews before you head out the door. Today we are pleased to share with you another set of getting to know you questions from our local pals Strange Lot. Hit the jump for more.
