Videos: Slow Club in Austin

slow club

England’s Slow Club are the boy-girl duo of Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor, whose playful singing in their live sets were accompanied by a guitar and parts of a drum set. They played quite a few free shows while in Austin, and I caught at least two of them. The first time was at Club 1808, when the day was dwindling into a festive night, and the second time was the very next day at Red House Pizzeria, when the morning was still fresh and everyone was still waking up to the smell of coffee. I’ve included two video clips here: the first is from Red House Pizzeria, and the second is the end of their set at Club 1808, where they sang an unamplified song amongst the audience.
