SXSW 2008 CMT NEWS (MTV Country) LIVE REVIEW
My Six Bands Worth Checking Out From South by Southwest: My favorite band I've seen so far is called Phantom Limb, fronted by a magnificent singer named Yolanda Quarty. They filled a Thursday afternoon (March 13) slot at Maria's Taco X-Press in South Austin -- perhaps the most famous taco joint in town. I had heard one of their songs online a few weeks ago, but I didn't anticipate that their music would move me so much, especially "Don't Say a Word." Backed by a very capable group of British guys (they're from Bristol in the UK), Quarty's controlled yet commanding voice somehow balanced out the mellow music behind her. I don't know that one would work without the other, but together, I was overcome with emotion. When I went up to the stage to meet her afterwards, she told me, "I was performing just for you. You have a very expressive face." What do you say to that

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
Kevin Michael: ilikemusic because... I’ve been singing my entire life. I cannot go without listening to it or singing for a day. I wake up to it, I go to sleep to it, I am music.
