Interview: Antietam (SXSW 2008)

Louisville-by-way-of-NYC indie rockers Antietam flew to Austin to play four—yes, four—sets. Guitarist/singer Tara Key has branched out into solo albums, but as she explains, Antietam never broke up, even during a 10-year gap between albums. Their new album, Opus Mixtum, is now out on Carrot Top. Here, Tara provides a history of the band and her own musical influences.—Robin Cook

Tara Key is awesome. Saw Antietam play in ‘95 at CBGB’s. She has an incredible stage presence and plays the hell out of that guitar.
