ACL 2014: Ana Tijoux

Friday at 4:!5 has Chvrches on one big stage and Paolo Nutini on the other.  Nashville-based hip-hop/pop band The Lonely Biscuits plays the BMI stage.  They won the MTVu Woody Award as an up-and-coming band and their song "Chasing Echoes" isn't bad.  It's on my ACL2014 Soundcloud playlist (on the sidebar).  I'd still rather see the other bands in this timeslot, though.

I'm not sure I want to fight the chaos to see Chvrches and since we've seen them recently maybe it would be worth it to check out the act playing in the tent: Ana Tijoux.  She's a French-Chilean Latin Pop/hip-hop musician.  NPR and World Cafe seem to like her.  She has played SXSW a couple times, including this year, and has had success touring the states.

This song is played on Episode 5 of Season 4 of "Breaking Bad".  We just finished episode 2 of that season so only 3 more episodes.  We'll have to listen for it.
