BAEBLE CONCERTS: Sebastien Grainger at Radio Room

Battling an appropriate glaze of red hot light, Sebastien Grainger sweats it out during this long overdue set from Saddle Creek's Showcase at the 2009 edition of SXSW last. Here, the former DFA 1979 drummer fronts a relentless band, flying through the kind of carefree and skuzzy set that'll probably have you feeling just a bit dirtier than you actually are. No need to worry though. We assure you you'll return to your former, purer self after 44 minutes of steam rolling, dance rock down in Austin. Keep a special eye on the Grainger's hysterical reaction to having the plug pulled on the performance. Yeah, not pleased...not pleased at all. Luckily, it can live on forever here at Baeble. - David Pitz
