SXSW
Wye Oak performs live from SXSW
by Bill DeVille and Wye Oak
March 15, 2008
Baltimore duo Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack chose the name Wye Oak after they realized Monarch, their first choice for a name had already been claimed by 7 other bands. Their recorded sound is layered and lush. They try to capture that same sound when the two of them perform live, but they also feel that if a song is good enough, it should be able to stand on its own.
Songs performed: "Warning," "Take It In," and "Obituary."
