Televison’s own nasal-voiced chef-ette Rachel Ray recently announced the guest list for her food party, held at Austin-based music festival SXSW. Performers include the Airborne Toxic Event, the Hold Steady, the Thermals, Ra Ra Riot and the New York Dolls, among others.
Ray told Pitchfork:
“Some of the bands are new to me, like the Thermals and Semi Precious Weapons, but I sincerely love all of them. I’m a huge Hold Steady fan! Seriously. And I love Bob Schneider. Austin is my favorite city outside of New York, I just love how they do things, and the spirit of it.”
Ray will serve up the down-home cooking at Austin’s Maggie Mae’s on March 21 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
