In Big Western Flavor's review of Cocker Spaniels' Red 7 show, Westy encouraged Sean to get a band together rather than play solo, something Sean has always resisted. 

However, on his Tumblr in response, Sean Padilla wrote:

My friend Westy’s review of the show I played in Austin this past Wednesday. He & Anna will get their wish soon enough…

Sounds like it to me!

For the record, I agree with Westy.  Sean's songs are incredible and honest, and I think in Austin of all places he could find a team of musicians strong enough to back him up without losing the integrity of the music.

Here's hoping!
