SXSW 2014 Interview: HOTT MT

March 4, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Lately I’ve been running through a gambit of rock n’ roll interviews with SXSW, so I wanted to offer up something a little more ethereal, musically speaking. With that in mind, I bring you HOTT MT, an act working somewhere in the realm between Thailand and California. I think reading their questions definitely bring home the idea that some bands come to Austin because it’s supposed to be about fun and having a good time. There’s a list of their shows at the end of the interview. Read more

SXSW 2014 Interview: Anne

March 4, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

We’ve been covering lots of Anne tracks lately, and the music that’s coming out of this artist is pretty kick ass. It’s geared for all you folks ready to throw down on the dance floor, albeit with a slightly different vibe. He’s likely to keep his set pretty heavy with tracks from his recent album, Pulling Chain. Here’s what he had to say before making his way into town, and personally, I think these are some of the best answers we’ve gotten.

We wanted to reach out to the band before they made their way into town for SXSW, and here’s what they had to say.

Have A Nice Weekend With Breton

February 7, 2014 brian.gray Leave a comment

One of the acts I absolutely loved at SxSW two years ago was Breton. They recently released their latest album War Room Stories on iTunes and are coming back for this year’s conference.

The track I feature below is a poppy number. It is a tour bus collision of Foals and Friendly Fires. The rest of the album is kind of all over the place. You think you can dismiss a song as derivative or against your grain and then it has an odd break or goes a direction you may not have expected. It is a dance pop music mash up with an accent and I kind of dig it. Give it a stream here. “Got Well Soon” is quite brilliant, as well.
