Fanfarlo finds a Secret Garden outside someone's house

While we were in Austin for SXSW, we swung by the Red House Pizzeria for a pizzastic breakfast one morning. Out in the backyard a host of bands were readying to kickstart another day of endless music, and England’s Fanfarlo, who was scheduled to go on later, had prepared a few songs for our mini-musical-documentary series: the Secret Garden. We walked a short distance away from the venue and halted outside someone’s house, where I was drawn towards a white garage and the entire British crew towards a car draped in a car cover behind a chain link fence. They played three songs there —”Finish Line”, “Luna” and “Comets”, all from their new album, Reservoir. Plenty of bird chirps were available for accompaniment!

It’s hard to believe they haven’t gotten as much airplay as they deserve. The band rocks. I was fortunate to get their album for a dollar pre-release off their website. Best $1 I’ve ever spent.

Very Very Very good band, my favorite song from them is “Fire Escape” If you haven’t heard it, I suggest you look it up.
