TAS Interview: The Soft Pack

The Soft Pack, who began life with the moniker the Muslims, wrap up the last of a three night stand in the New York area on Saturday night at Music Hall of Williamsburg. The Alternate Side caught up with the quartet at SXSW where they told us about tricky name changes, the perils of pizza delivery and why they miss having Warren Zevon and Alex Chilton around.

R.I.P. Alex Chilton

Box Tops and Big Star guitarist and singer Alex Chilton, deeply influential to scores of musicians, died in New Orleans on Wednesday of an apparent heart attack. Chilton, who was to perform with Big Star this week at SXSW, was 59.
