Stevie Nicks Ends Whirlwind Day at SXSW with Rocking Sound City Performance!

Sound city Players at Stubb's, 03.14.13

Stevie Nicks blew into Austin and SXSW like a bird in flight today to promote two documentaries - "Sound City" and her own "In Your Dreams". She attended the IYD screening, spoke to the audience a bit afterwards with Dave Stewart, was quickly whisked off to her own one on one interview in front of a packed house at the Convention Center with Ann Power of NPR. Then capped off the night at Stubbs BBQ where she joined Dave Grohl and the rest of The Sound City Players and rocked the out-door venue.  Her set came a little earlier tonight then normal.  In the past she closed out the usual 3 hour event... But the girls busy! She's gotta plane's waiting! She needs to high-tail it back to L.A. and Fleetwood Mac rehearsals to brush up on Sister of The Moon! Fleetwood Mac are Live in Columbus, Ohio in exactly 3 weeks from tonight!

Here are a couple of twitter pics.  First two are by Ultra5280 which I think are kinda cool!  As you can see Stevie changed up the on stage outfit vs what she previously wore during the Sound City Live shows.  Looks like the same outfit she wore on Letterman last month.  Her set was the same as in previous Sound City shows:  Stop Draggin My Heart Around | You Can't Fix This | Dreams | Landslide | Gold Dust Woman.

Next event for Stevie... Oprah's Masterclass on the 24th!

SXSW interview with Stevie Nicks

If you’re an interviewer you don’t keep famed rock singer Stevie Nicks on a short leash. The better move is to think of a question or topic like a stick thrown to a dog; she’ll chase after its general direction but the chances of the stick being retrieved are about 50/50. Thankfully, there aren’t many interview subjects who are as interesting to watch wander as Nicks, as National Public Radio journalist Ann Powers learned Thursday evening during an talk that saw the singer cover the early days of Fleetwood Mac, her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham, her songwriting partnership with Christine McVie and Buckingham and how she came to work with Dave Stewart on her new album “In Your Dreams.”

On she and Buckingham joining Fleetwood Mac: Nicks (whose all black ensemble and sunglasses lent to her mystical reputation) said the band based its decision on bringing she and Buckingham on board on whether McVie approved of Nicks. Talking about the entire group’s introductory dinner at a Mexican restaurant, she recalled a pair of Cadillacs pulling up outside with the FM members and entourage pouring out, contrasted against she and Buckingham being dirt poor. “Christine and I got on like thieves… babbling like a gaggle of geese.” Soon after she and McVie started rehearsing for the group’s next album - 1975’s self-titled bestseller - with Nicks and Buckingham making the then astronomical sum of $200 a week. “We hit the road in June and by October we each were millionaires.”

On fitting into the male-dominated world of rock: “I said we can’t be treated like second-class citizens. When we walk into a room… we have to float in there like goddesses. It worked. The boys never went anywhere without us and we were always invited to the party.” Later, Nicks took her most serious tone of the hour-long talk when discussing the control many female artists have ceded to handlers and label directors afer she and other female artist spent the ’70s and ’80s fighting to have their own say. Removing her sunglasses to make her point clear, she talked about her burgeoning desire to get actively involved in women’s equality on a political front.

On working with McVie and Buckingham as songwriting partners: Powers astutley described the three writers’ roles as McVie being the maternal one, Buckingham being the “weird alpha male” one and Nicks serving as the bridge between the two. The singer agreed, saying McVie was responsible for hits like “Hold Me” and “Say That You Love Me,” with Buckingham doing what he could to rough up those pure pop creations with his rocker proclivities. “I sequenced ‘Rumours’ so that one side is creepy and eerie and the other side is more poppy, to have two different experiences.”

On drawing inspiration from literature and film: In one of the more interesting and revealing segments of the talk, Nicks talked about seeing her own life through the lens of works by Edgar Allen Poe (when she was a teenager), the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast and the recent film adaptation of “Anna Karenina,” its lessons “about what obsessive love can do” about how after seeing it she was “ready to go to the grand piano with white candles. I’m not Anna. I’ve been there and I don’t want to be there again. It got me misery, unhappiness, two or three years to get over it and bad karma. You learn; don’t mess with a married man.” Later on she offered, “I’ve already written about that and I will write about it again.”

Mick Fleetwood Autobiography Scheduled for October

It was announced during the Hodder Book Conference in the UK yesterday that Mick Fleetwood has a new Autobiography scheduled for release in October, 2013.

Is this new, or is this a reprint and update of his early 90's book "My Life and Adventures in Fleetwood Mac"?
