SXSW Interviews 2026 – The Family Battenberg

March 5, 2026 RayRay Leave a comment

Wow yeah, so this year has definitely snuck up on us, and somehow we are just one week out from SXSW staring next week. Many of us are still unsure what to expect with all of the changes coming in, and how we deal with the lack of a large, centralized meeting space. Either way, we will be out and about, doing our thing. Our interview series continues today with another one from a band on my personal must see list – The Family Battenberg. As always, you’ll find the full interview, set times, and tunes after the jump.

SXSW 2026 – A Playlist

March 3, 2026 RayRay Leave a comment

Hard to believe, but it’s that SXSW time again in just a short 10 or so days. While we hear many grumblings from pals about the changing landscape of the festival, we still plan to be out in full force checking out as many bands as we can. Sure, things will be a touch different this year as we maneuver new dates and downtown construction, but we’re planning to roll with it and provide our usual coverage. In the next few days we’ll be dropping some new show announcements, a few of our interviews, and of course, my annual SXSW artist playlist. This thing takes some time people, and I’ve combed the 700+ bands on the official list, to narrow this down to about 60 or so. Please keep in mind – this is tailored to my tastes, so no shade on any artists not on the list. It’s also highly likely that I just missed something… So here ya go, an Apple version and a damn Spotify one too in case you’re still doing that. Seriously, you can just transfer all your tunes out of there…. Stay tuned.
