Seriously, writers have been going bananas at the stellar show Visqueen played for the NPR showcase on Wednesday:
"I've wanted to see Rachel Flotard and her band play live pretty much since I first listened to their album Message to Garcia last year, but got waylayed a few times en route to the NPR showcase at Stubb's tonight. I slipped in just in time to hear them close the set, playing this song to a nearly-capacity crowd in the amphitheater behind the BBQ joint. It was tight and fierce and totally generous in the way most Visqueen songs are and all I wanted was for the band to just keep on playing. All the hundreds and hundreds of day parties and showcases that didn't book these guys for the rest of the week are absolute failures." Rachel Maddux, Paste
The group only had time for five songs, but they were five winners: “Capitol” was flat-out blistering, and Flotard’s powerful voice filled the amphitheater on “Ward.” Visqueen ended with “Fight for Love.” Eric Danton, Listen Dammit
"Visqueen was able to make it bring their unique four-to-the-floor brand of rock ‘n’ roll to SXSW. “I can’t believe that my band is actually here,” gushed Flotard." Darren Ressler, Limewire
