Writer is heading back to Austin's South By Southwest festival this week and they're bringing a bunch of San Diego talent with them.  For starters, they booked shows to Austin and back with Tape Deck Mountain using the above press photo, shot by Andrew Burns.  They will be selling a new EP on the tour that features a remix by Jamuel Saxon and artwork by Lindsay Preston, screen-printed in the Sezio garage.

Secondly, we are proud to announce that Brad Kester's music video for Four Letters was accepted into the Film Festival portion of SXSW and will premiere in a program of other music videos for random bands like Grizzly Bear and Passion Pit.  Destin Daniel Cretton has cinematography credits on the video as well as San Diego's finest barefoot skiier, Mike Gerstein.  The program will play three times during the festival and more information can be found here.

Good job San Diego.  Turns out we're gonna be okay even without LaDainian Tomlinson.

Writer & Tape Deck Mountain play Tin Can Ale House tomorrow, Thursday March 11th to start their venture east. Come see them off and pick up the new EP, then check back for updates from their travels over the next two weeks.  You can also find tour dates and the new songs on Writer's MySpace.
