White Hot White Shag (VIDEO)

This past weekend we finally got to meet up with a band that we have wanted to chat with for a while, White Shag. The rock trio, fronted by Laura Mendoza with Jorge Cortez and Joe Leone, headlined a benefit for various women's shelters in the area. The event was called FoxFest and handful of bands featuring chicks took over the Tangent Gallery for a night.

If you haven't been to this venue yet, you should definitely head down and check it out. It is located off East Grand Boulevard and is a huge space with multiple rooms, a couple of stages, and a bar. They host a wide variety of events, so keep an eye on their Facebook page to see what they have coming up next.

White Shag was nice enough to take a few minutes to talk to us about the band, what they've been up to and SXSW. Check out what they had to say.

If you would like to check out White Shag for yourself, head over to their website where they have music, videos, and pretty much everything you can imagine. If you want to see them on the stage, your next chance is this Thursday, May 22nd at the Diesel Concert Lounge in Chesterfield. You can get more info on that event here.
