During Austin PRIDE on Saturday, September 10, 2011, I interviewed some of the featured artists of the inaugural OUTlander Fall Festival. In addition to this post, I created my own YouTube Page to feature them.
Here’s the third of the series with acoustic rock duo, Lipstick Letters (who have since decided to pursue individual interests). I spoke with Lipsticke Letters after their set on the patio at Rusty’s.
Thanks to Melissa Martin, Director of Operations for bMUSEd Entertainment, for the opportunity & Lipstick Letters for always being game.
As an aside, not that anyone asked for my two cents, but I only hope they work together again sooner rather than later because I feel like they just scraped the tip of the iceberg. That’s all I’m saying.
Just by chance you’re getting a double dose of Lipstick Letters this week. They are both a pic-olio and pop quiz interviewArtist. Their pic-olio posted on the last Tuesday of a 5-week month on August 30, 2001, as regulary scheduled. They were also set to be the focus of the first of our two monthly pop quizzes, kicking things off nicely for us in September. See the pic-olio here and read their interview below.
