We’ve been following The Parlour Tricks for quite some time (check out this 2011 interview when they were still called Lily and the Parlour Tricks), and admittedly we’ve had our up and downs with them (last year they didn’t appreciate our sarcasm about them premiering a video with the Wall Street Journal). But politics never affect our music appreciation, and this stylish indie pop band has been proving to have the talent, the song and the commitment to thrive in what’s probably the toughest music scene in the world. We are therefore happy to celebrate their recent signing with super-awesome label Bar / None, home – among others – of pop luminaries such as Yo La Tengo, Of Montreal and Alex Chilton. The band was selected to play an officials SXSW show this coming March.
