Quiet Company


South by Southwest (SXSW) closed with a bang Saturday despite drizzly weather that put a damper on outdoor shows during the day. We saw sets by Snoop DoggGary Numan and Phantogram among others.

But what we are really excited about are the breakout bands we saw perform for the first time during the festival; Desert NoisesJuly TalkFuture IslandsBearcubbinLucius and Lucas Nelson and the Promise of the Real.

Live music review: Quiet Company played to sell-out crowd at Stubb's BBQ Friday

Local favorites, Quiet Company who have been on a steady, upward trajectory over the past couple of years, sold-out Stubb's BBQ Friday evening. The band dusted off some older songs, broke out light sabers (yes, you read correctly) and left fans sated and smiling. While the light sabers and ensuing "rave up" led by drummer, Jeff Weathers and trombone player and newly minted percussionist, Cody Ackors. It was a humorous departure from the usual during a performance that

Keepstream Tells the Story of Quiet Company's first Twitter Show

Saturday night, local power pop band, Quiet Company headlined their first ever Twitter show with Love at 20 (FREE download their new EP here) warming up the crowd of Austin Twitter users at the ND at 501 Studios. The ND's giant video screen to the right of the stage featured all tweets labeled with the hash tag, #QCatND. Besides the great music, the tweets got bawdy as Quiet Company, fans, and media bantered in 140 character bursts throughout the evening.

I decided to let the tweets tell the story using my favorite web content curation tool, Keepstream. Check out the collection below.

Beyond just general use, Keepstream is particularly useful for bloggers, journalists, and content publishers. Pretty much anyone who creates online articles needs to engage their readers beyond just words. That means integrating video, photos, and social media – all sorts of relevant social content. A lot of content already exists out there that your audience is interested in! Keepstream helps you cull selections of the best content, and serve them to your readers. Essentially, we let you reuse the content that other people have created and make it a part of that article or webpage.
