I get the feeling it’s impossible not to be enchanted by White Shoes and the Couples Company. They look positively adorable and the music is guaranteed to take you out of a bad day and paste a sweet smile on your face. The group, which hails from Jakarta, Indonesia, made it on to both Rolling Stone’s 25 Best Bands on MySpace and Paste’s 4 To Watch. It’s my bet their SXSW showcase will be one to remember.

I was lucky enough to get the lovely and fabulous Miss Sari (vocals and finger snaps) to answer The LP Questionnaire and Pick Three.

Head to your happy place and enjoy…

Name: Sari
Pro Wrestling Name: Gold Justice

1. Pretend you’re 15 (and tell us what year it is, if you don’t mind). Name three songs you’d put on a mix tape for your girlfriend/boyfriend.

It was 1996 when I’m 15, the three songs are:
“Without Him” – Astrud Gilberto
“I’m Gonna Love You Too” - Blondie
“Carnival” – The Cardigans

2. Which evil villain would make the best president? Homer Simpson…?

3. What was your favorite cartoon as a child? I still really love the classic Tom & Jerry.

4. What superpower do you wish you had? I wish I could stop the time and be a time traveler like Hiro Nakamura.

5. What would the title of your autobiography be? I don’t know… maybe the title is going to be UrbanTropical because I live in tropical country.. but I’m not sure that’s going to be the title… ha!

Pick Three

The Raveonettes: I took a glance on their album cover few years ago and I thought, wow they can surely define the word “cool.” I guess it’s a must to see their live performance in SXSW and absorb their “coolness.”

Jens Lekman: I’m looking forward to see Jens Lekman performance, he made beautiful songs, I saw it once in YouTube, and I think it was fantastic, really wish I can catch his live performance.

the s.i.g.i.t: One of the many performance in SXSW that I’m intend to see is The S.I.G.I.T because there’s nothing more thrilling than watching your friends from back home performing live at SXSW and experience the history in person!
