SXSW 2008: Dan Sartain


Five years ago, Alabama's Dan Sartain released "Dan Sartain vs. The Serpientes" on Swami Records, a label responsible for not only the reissues of bands like Crime & The Penetrators, but who could also lay claim to more modern faceshredders like Hot Snakes and Drive Like Jehu. With attitude to spare & an ability to slither between Punk, Rockabilly, & Garage influences, Mr. Sartain fit in perfectly alongside his label-mates.

Two years after Sartain's second release, "Join Dan Sartain," he's bringing his wiry frame to Emo's for the Swami Showcase, which also includes the totally badass Seattle punk outfit, The Spits, as well as CPC Gangbangs. The show is on Thursday, March 13th, and Mr. Sartain plays at 10:35.



To quote Dan Sartain's Swami bio, "this guy's more talented than a 1000 talented dudes."
