We love Julia’s music and wanted to make sure others could hear all the good stuff she’s got.
For a long time, Julia only had a flash site. She couldn’t update it, and the site stayed lonely and neglected. After working with Julia, we put together a new site, with a whole bunch of new features like:
- an online store
- a lyrics archive
- audio players
- video gallery
- photo galleries
- and even a blog!
This site was put together for The Defibulators’ music festival at SXSW, featuring over 10 bands. We put together a full event lineup, and photo gallery. We also included individual audio players so visitors could listen to the bands.
In the way they re-create the barroom swing of the Hank era, the Defibulators and their fellow indie-country bands present themselves as more authentic than, say, Taylor Swift. But while Corn Money has moments of unvarnished beauty (“Your Hearty Laughâ€), it also includes a degree of Hee Haw–style cornpone (note long underwear). So what is their music: paean or put-on? “It’s not ironic, what we’re doing,†insists Bru. “We’re not making fun of [country music].†Jennings arches his brow. “Or are we?†Noting Bru’s disapproval, he adds, “We’re not making fun of it. We’re having fun with it.†Sighing, Bru sums up the mystery that is their world: “It’s kind of hard to describe to people.â€
