Rachel Ray Invites Battles to play SxSW Showcase

In one of the more "WTF?" moments in music history, it appears that the rumors are true. Food Network star and syndicated television host Rachel Ray has asked Battles to join her at Austin's SxSW for a showcase they're calling "FEEDBACK Showcase...a feast of hot bands and tasty foods."

Unfortunately, Battles won't be participating in the SXSW festivities this year, but in a somewhat even more surprising move, Rachel Ray has invited Canadian Lo-Fi group Holy Fuck to join her as well.

Pitchfork reports that the party will take place on Saturday, March 15 from 12pm to 6 pm possibly at Beauty Bar.

Being the skeptic that I am, I'm anticipating an early April Fool's declaration on the media, but until then, look forward to hearing a great performance over a meal that hopefully takes longer than 30 minutes to create.
