Got Along in front of a house

In my frenzy to listen to bands for SXSW, I lingered a while over Sun Hotel. They are playing KVRXplosion, and I'm really excited to see them at Spiderhouse next Wednesday.

Sun Hotel is based out of New Orleans, Louisiana. They've got a nice fuzzy pop Americana feel, and while I don't think their work is perfect, I definitely think they are headed somewhere.

This is a video of "Got Along" from their Gifts EP. Below is the story of filming, because I won't be able to do it justice in the retelling.

"This video was recorded the morning after Sun Hotel, Caddywhompus, Black James Franco, and Psychedelic Tractor played at Trevor Smith's house for New Year's Eve. This was filmed in one shot, first take, by Harrison Smith. Chris Rehm set up 5 iPods around the yard and edited the audio and video. Talib Abdullahi drove the truck that Harrison was sitting in for filming. The car was pushed by Sean Hart, Chris Rehm, and Trevor Smith. This song "Got Along" originally appeared in Sun Hotel's EP "Gifts", released October 2011 on Chinquapin Records. Big thanks to Trevor and all our Austin homies that helped/came out. The band sat around the fire pit which, during the previous night, someone threw a couch on top of, necessitating the Fire Department to come out and mayhem to ensue."
