Our friends over at Austin Town Hall (who, by the way, have a nice SXSX dayshow this year) caught this last week: the Wooden Birds, Andrew Kenny’s new outfit that released their debut, Magnolia, last year, are offering a new EP for free download called Montague Street. The songs are different versions of four tunes from the LP (”Believe in Love”; “Bad”; “The Other One”; “Choke”) that were actually laid down back when Kenny was living in New York, on Montague Street, natch. So we suppose these are not so much re-recordings as pre-recordings! But you can download the EP here, from Insound. In perhaps even more intriguing Wooden Birds news, however, Kenny is also apparently suffering from writer’s block, or something, because he wants you to send him your stories so that he might possibly write a song based on it. It doesn’t look like you necessarily win anything if he chooses your story, except having a song written about you, of course. But this is Austin - everybody in this town has had a song written about them! You have until March 30 to email your stories, so get a-scribin’!
