It’s SXSW time. While I always make a point to keep it pretty loose schedule-wise, one of the East coast outfits I’m looking forward to catching this week is NYC’s Twin Sister. This is based entirely on the strength of their (free) Vampires With Dreaming Kids EP. In other Twin Sister news, the Greenpoint, Brooklyn based Chocolate Bobka has pegged the five-piece, along with Alex Bleeker and Run DMT, as one of the three bands to kick off his newly minted cassette series The Curatorial Club.
Twin Sister’s Alternates (TCC 001) is a 30 minute collection of demos from their Vampires with Dreaming Kids EP. The B-sides harvests the work that’s gone into their soon-to-be-released EP Color Your Life on Infinite Best.

They kind of don’t sound like the Vampires EP anymore, more funky but still with a cocteau twins/angelo badalamenti spookiness to them they’re really good live. definitely a must-see.
