This was my first - rather simple - freelance assignment with a major publication. Spinner posted a wanted entry on its website declaring online search for writers who would be interested in covering one of the 2,000 bands scheduled to play SXSW 2010. So I signed up, did the interview, published it, and voila! Note: this was a contributing assignment as a freelance writer, I am not employed under Spinner or AOL.
Since the UK-based band formed at Christmas in 2008, Allo Darlin' has garnered media buzz with just three EPs under their belt. The Guardian called Allo Darlin's single 'Henry Rollins Don't Dance' "the best indiepop song for years." All their hard work and notability has earned the quartet a trip to the States to perform at SXSW this March, around the release date of the band's first full-length under Fortuna POP! Spinner recently corresponded with vocalist/songwriter Elizabeth Morris about the band and tour antics.
