SXSW Watchlist: Hurricane Bells
While his longtime rock band Longwave takes a short break from the music world, Steve Schiltz has been working hard to make a name for his new project Hurricane Bells. This band/side project from Schiltz has been in the works for a few years and just saw a debut LP, Tonight is the Ghost, drop late last year. That album, while similar to Longwave in some aspects, tones things down just a bit and the songs feel a lot more like a solo record. Schiltz has since put a band together and plans to stop in Austin during our SXSW music festival. We had the chance to email Steve a few SXSW oriented questions before his band makes it into town. You’ll see a musician who is passionate about the industry and hopes you don’t know him as “that band on the New Moon soundtrack”. Follow the jump for full interview.
