When Smith Westerns broke up at the end of 2015, singer Cullen Omori went solo, while members Julien Ehrlich and Max Kakacek formed Whitney. Both will be at SXSW this year, but we’re most excited for Whitney whose current “No Woman,” is a gorgeous post-Velvets countryfied ballad, that makes a very tasty appetizer for the band’s full-length debut, due out later this year via Secretly Canadian. Lets hope they play some songs of that album at our Friday day party. (BP)
