My name is Barrett Brown, and I've been asked by the editor of Austin Monthly to do a profile on Tacks, the Boy Disaster for the magazine's March issue, in which they'll be profiling about eight different up-and-coming Austin bands. Would you be available for a brief interview, either by e-mail, phone, or IM, sometime in the next two or three days? I'd also like to talk to a third party that's familiar with your band, such as a producer, promoter, or someone associated with a local venue at which you've played a few times, or perhaps your manager Lev Kuperman if he's available (I've CC'd him on this e-mail).
Please get back to me when you have a moment. The due date for this piece is the 10th of this month, so if you'd have time to do this pretty soon, I'd appreciate it.
