Off The Wall Art

We just posted about Italy's His Clancyness coming over for SXSW and it turns out there's another Italian group that will be here too on their way to SXSW. Brothers in Law hail from coastal town of Pesaro, on the Adriatic Sea, and have recently released their debut album, Hard Times for Dreamers. If you like the janglier side of late-'80s Creation Records (House of Love, Felt) or current stuff on Slumberland (Girls Names, Veronica Falls), you should check their album out -- it's streaming in full below.
Brothers in Law play Sunday (3/10) at Death by Audio with The Beets' Juan Wauters, Horrible Present and Missing Document. It looks like they're on early so for those who want to also catch Girls Names at Cameo the same night, maybe its doable. Or if you want to keep it in Italy, His Clancyness is at Glasslands right around the corner from DBA. There may be a Brothers in Law show on Friday (3/9) as well, venue TBA, we'll see.

Since 1987, the artisan company Pireta owned by Roberta Merlo, works realizing precious glass objects with the technics of Murano glass and blown glass. The name "PIRETA" is inspired by a butterfly from Ecuador whose transparent wings resemble the transparency of glass and red spots at their ends reminiscent of the fire of the furnace.
All the production is represented by unique works of rare beauty made entirely by hand that take inspiration from the vegetable and animal world. Small ornaments, wedding favors, unique jewelry.
Different the technics used: glass worked "luce", classic blown glass, Glass Fusion thanks to a big furnace.
