While at SXSW last month we had the pleasure of drinking some Lone Star beers in an alley with Michael Pitt & Co. His band, Pagoda, signed with Thurston Moore's label and was in Austin to play some shows. Autopilot was on hand so we got it all on tape (though much was left on the cutting room floor), the edited footage just came in and... just be sure to watch to the very end.
Pitt resides in Bushwick so you can be sure once Pagoda hits the road they'll have some shows in the area. We prefer his acting side a bit more, so in the meantime (from Last Days, the film he discusses meeting Moore during the making of), watch what may be one of the greatest scenes in a movie (or at least this particular movie).
