New Music From Choo Choo

We had the good fortune of checking out Swiss band Choo Choo a couple times during SXSW last year and were impressed with the live show they brought to the table.  Since that time, the band sort of fell off our radar until popping up recently with news of an upcoming LP on January 21st.  The album, Cannes, features this new single “” and will be available on European label Chop Records.  Not sure exactly what the timeline is for a US release, but I’m sure you can also purchase online.

SXSW Watchlist: Choo Choo

choochooWe continue our attempts to bring you some lesser known SXSW acts today with Swiss artist Choo Choo.  Originally formed as a 3 piece back in ’06, the band now performs their brand of 60s style garage rock as a 4 piece out of their home in Berne, Switzerland.  Catchy hooks infused with fuzzy guitar and some pop stylings all their own characterize the sound on Choo Choo’s debut self-titled LP out in 2008.  The band’s going to be hard at work making a name for themselves during SXSW and playing more shows than any band ever should.

Catch an official showcase @ B.D. Riley’s Thursday March 19th 9pm.

Or for you freeloaders, check the band’s myspace for a whole slew of other unofficial parties planned.
