For every artist we decided to catch at SXSW, we decided to review each performance with our own version of “Five Ws and One H” answering the questions: 1) Who are they, 2) What kind of music do they play, 3) When did they play, 4) Where are they from, 5) Why did we decide to catch them play and 6), How was their performance.

WHO: Her’s is a two-piece band of Stephen Fitzpatrick and Audun Laading.
WHAT: Dream pop // Jangle pop.
WHEN: 3/17/2017 at SXSW’s Flatstock Stage
WHERE: Liverpool, England.
WHY: How can you listen to “Speed Racer” and not start shaking your booty a bit?
HOW: I was debating between getting more sleep, or forcing myself get up to the 1:30pm to catch Her’s SXSW official showcase. I’m glad I decided to double up on coffee that morning to make my way out.
These guys are fantastic. There’s something about their music, and the way they perform it, that just forces you to smile. The bass player, Audun Laading, is kinda like a jolly cherub as he dances across the stage with his instrument, and Stephen Fitzpatrick’s droll, baritone voice is the perfect contrast to their upbeat, and highly spirited sonics. The two took full advantage of the intimate performance setting, jumping into the audience and making everyone present part of their intimate, musical world.
They have an album in the works, and just released their latest track, “I’ll Try” a few days ago. This could very well be one of my new favorite bands. Have a listen:
