This is fine.
We’re trying to get you ready for BurgerMania at SXSW, which will kick off on March 15. It’s one of my favorite days during SXSW…they fit in as many great bands as they can, including rad Austin acts. Here’s another rad band that will be part of the various events sponsored by the label, Boy Toy, hailing from Brooklyn. Take some time to read what they had to say before they make their way South.

One of my favorite bands of the last several years, Natural Child, is making their way to Austin, again. Despite the fact that they always seem to be here, I’m always willing to go out of my way to catch their sets. They’ve got a new album, Dancin With Wolves, which will be out by the time the band rolls into town for SXSW; it’s a little bit different than previous work, but equally as good. The Internet allowed us to catch up with them before they head our way. Read more
Running interviews thus far has been a success, and it’s great to see the dynamic personalities spread across the globe making music. We turn our sites today towards Canada’s Each Other, who’ve got a brand new record coming out on Lefse Records; it’s titled Being Elastic. I caught the band a few years back, and personally, it was one of my favorite sets; I also hear via various friends that they’re super nice, which makes appreciating them all the easier. Check out what they had to say.
Pizza Time is the Denver-based product of one David Pizza. Not only does he like to rock the pizza rep, but he also spends a great deal of his time offering punk rock in Spanish. He’s done some releases with the most excellent cats over at Burger Records (though I wonder if they had issue with the band name, but I suppose Burger Time was already taken). Anyways, David is on his way to Austin for a great SXSW, so read on for his thoughts about the festival.
Juan Wauters is probably best known for his work with the Beets, but with his release of North American Poetry on Captured Tracks coming this year, it establishes him as a man all his own. He took some time to answer a few of our questions before he starts his trek down to Austin. Check out what he had to say. Read more
With a slew of labels coming into town for SXSW, perhaps there is none more hard-working than the guys over at Burger Records. They’ve got tons of bands to work with, and they try and organize a big weekend-long extravaganza so you can get your fill of their wide variety of acts. We’re helping them spread the word by interviewing tons of these bands, and today, our interview brings us to Peach Kelli Pop. Read on below. Read more
“Have never checked that out but seems like it would be pretty cool!” Yo, this is what I’m talking about! SXSW Interviews. This is one of the great things about SXSW; you get to discover brand new bands to love and adore. Perhaps one of those bands will be the Rich Hands, the Texas trio who seem to be working as hard as they can to get as many dates lined up for you as possible during the week. They have at least seven shows, so check out what they had to say, and try to hunt them down during the festival (their tour dates are at the bottom). Read more
Another band kicking things out of the Southeastern United States hotbed is Dead Gaze. The band closed out a solid 2013 with the release of Brain Holiday, before touring the country with good friend Dent May. We were able to catch up with Cole via Al Gore’s greatest invention; you can read his responses down below.
Fleeting Youth Records is bringing a ton of great bands down to Austin in March for the annual SXSW festival. One of those promising up and coming bands is Philly punk rockers Mumblr. As we lead up to the festival, these boys were nice enough to sit down and answer our pressing questions. Follow the jump for see what they have to say.
The great thing about SXSW is that you get a lot of bands coming in from abroad to test the waters of the American music scene, so we figured we ought to offer up one of those acts to you: September Girls. The band is working with Fortuna Pop for their album, Cursing the Sea, which is a solid release. We even changed up our set of questions a bit for the ladies to give you a different look at acts traveling to us from far away. Read more for answers from the group’s Jessie Ward; help us welcome them when they make it our way. Read more
