This is fine.
We’re so dang close folks. SXSW is only a week away, or a few days, depending on where you’re at. We’re still trying to wrap up all our interviews, so we’re bringing you this one from England’s Happyness. The group released their Weird Little Birthday last year in the UK, but they’re building some hype here in the States…and the record will be here soon. Check out the quick interview we grabbed with Benji. Read more
Hard to believe that SXSW is just one more short week away right? Believe it or not, it’s all about to go down. We are of course not done with our pre-festival coverage and have more interviews, spotlights, and lists coming your way. Today I’m pleased to share with you a SXSW interview with Portland based group Summer Cannibals. This band is on my short list of acts to see during the week and I recommend that they make your list as well. Follow the jump for more.
Gengahr is building upon the hype they’ve been awarded in the UK, and now that they’ve got some acclaim overseas, they’re looking to make it big this year at SXSW…introducing themselves to US audiences. We caught up with the band briefly for a little history on their name and some other points that should get you ready to catch one of the hottest new acts in Europe. All answers come from Felix.

SXSW is how soon you say? Hard to believe we are just a short couple of weeks away at this point. I’m not sure any of us are ever fully prepared, but we will find a way to power through. Speaking of powering through, I’m excited today to share with you a new interview with up and coming Chicago punks Typesetter. I’m personally pretty pumped to catch their live set during the week. Follow the jump to see what they have to say.
Hard to believe that SXSW is drawing ever near as the weeks seem to be flying by in anticipation. Today we bring you even more coverage with an interview from Portland based indie group Melville. As I’ve been doing, these are just some questions to build press for upcoming bands, get their feel for SXSW, and see what they think about our great city. Follow the jump for responses.
Moon Duo is prepping the release of their new album, Shadow of the Sun, and with that, they’ll also be coming into Austin to show off their new jams…based on this interview, you might get to hear them all. I highly suggest you check these guys out; I’ve been impressed both times I’ve seen them. They craft their shows specifically to fit their music, so you’re getting an experience, more than just a good old fashioned rock show. Check out what they had to say below. Read more
Another day, another SXSW interview to bring your way. Today I’ve got one from Sweden based electronic pop group Summer Heart. Now we’ve been told that this is the groups very first trip to play in the states so we’re excited to welcome them to our sweet city with open arms. Follow the jump for responses.
Last year Ultimate Painting burst into our consciousness seemingly out of nowhere, though in retrospect, we’d been covering the band for a long time. You see, the band is made up of equal parts Mazes and Veronica Falls, just two dudes who love writing music together. We caught up with Jack to get a few short answers, and hopefully encourage you to see the group during SXSW . Read more
You better believe we have even more SXSW interviews coming your way this week! Today we’ve gone just a little bit left of our normal coverage with solo artist (though she travels with a band) Genevieve. Many of you may remember her from time spent as the leading lady of Chicago based indie rock group Company of Thieves. Well now she’s out on her own and ready to catch Austin by storm. Follow the jump for her answers.
Readers of our website know that the entire staff here is fully behind the up and coming sounds of Chicago based rock group Twin Peaks. Now since I just interviewed these guys back during Fun Fest, I sent them our SXSW questions this time around to get their thoughts on the festival and Austin. Follow the jump to see what the dudes had to say.
