So many pictures, so little time. Here are some Laura Marling photos I took in Texas on March 15th at the 'Press Here SXSW Garden Party' that she played with Lightspeed Champion, Emmy the Great and Noah and the Whale. Laura sang backup for Noah and the Whale and then she played her own set with members of Noah and the Whale playing instruments for her. She was pretty good (which is about all I can remember about the show at this point) (and that she was wearing a Spice Girls t-shirt).

If you're going to Town Hall tonight (May 10) to see Tim Fite and Adam Green, you might as well get there early and check out Laura. It's her only currently-scheduled U.S. show (she's from the UK). More tour dates and pictures below.....

Speaking of pre-teenagers, I couldn't help but notice (see above) that The Spice Girls (like Norwegians, Les Savy Fav and Matisyahu) know about those flourescent noise-proof headphones too. More photos of last night's show at the Garden (Feb 18, 2008), HERE.
