Nathaniel Rateliff, who played an exceptional set at Shakespeare's Ale House last week, impressed Michael Hogan from Vanity Fair (which also previewed a song from his forthcoming record earlier this month on its site) enough to not only seek him out at the Mile Hi-Fidelity party but to include him in a VF Daily dispatch from Austin. "Nathaniel Rateliff played a rip-roaring set of blue-collar folk-rock at Habana Calle 6," reads the photo caption on the SXSW-related post from this past weekend.
Pictureplane, meanwhile, garnered a short profile in Interview, which related this bit about one of his sets last week: "...the motley crowd awaiting Pictureplane in Austin's Iron Gate last week went into a dancing frenzy, creating a half mosh pit, half dance floor."
Finally, Holley 750 got a passing mention on Classic Rock's SXSW blog for its set at Hoeks Death Metal Pizza: "If the singer's Motorhead shirt wasn't clue enough, the band's dirty denim sound of Zeke-meets-Supersuckers offered plenty of boots to the head."
