If you’re gearing up to head to Austin’s South By Southwest music festival next week, you’re sure to appreciate Eleanor Friedberger‘s nostalgic new video for “Never Is a Long Time.” The clip features footage from SXSW performances in 1996. If you watch closely, you can spot Jeff Tweedy, the Old 97s, Jon Langford and many others rocking out on tiny stages.
If you aren’t traveling down to Texas this year, you’ll still have the chance to see Friedberger when she visits 12th & Porter on April 16. Tickets are still only $15, so make sure you grab some ASAP. Relive the glory of the ’90s music scene by watching “Never Is a Long Time” after the jump.
