Interview: Laura Veirs

Time to tear yourself away from all the awesome flicks at the SFIFF and get some exercise. Or at least stand up for a bit. Hit Bottom of the Hill tonight to check out Laura Veirs. Even if you are not a pre-teen Texan girl, or super into snow leopards, you’ll probably dig the music. We first interviewed Laura about a year ago-- although she's not offering a free tattoo this time round, her new stuff is worth the price of admission. Plus, nothing says happy May 5th like a little celebration of Indie rock. Laura answered a few more of our questions—good ideas about what to check out in Portland, and what to expect at the show tonight.

The best fans are....
Pre-teen girls from Texas

Best venue to play
Guinguette pirate in Paris. it's an old pirate ship that sways while you play.

Favorite song to play these days
A new one of mine called "to be held by you". I’ll be recording it for my next record this fall.

You should come see our show because...
We are vivacious and charismatic and super hot. actually, I have an eye-twitch right now but hopefully it will go away before the show.
