SxSW Wristbands Tomorrow!

Leave a comment

sxsw-music-logoYou can get your SxSW Music wristbands tomorrow. Same rules as usual – Austin area billing zip code for your plastic, you can buy two wristbands but have to provide the names, you’ll need photo IDs to pick up your wristband which will get snapped on at the start of the conference.

For your $169, you will get access to any venue not at capacity aside from the few showcases that are badge only. I used a wristband last year to get away from FOMO and it was bliss. Go check out someone you have never seen instead of getting barraged by Dorito Taco Loco.

On sale January 22nd at 10am (ATX time), Click here.

Leave a comment

sxsw-music-logoIn case you missed your friends facebook post about their band getting confirmed for SxSW, I have the full list of bands after the read more.

I will freely admit to being pretty stoked for many friends and faves of the ATH. A. Sinclair, Grapet St, Shivery Shakes, Ramesh, Hundred Visions, Think No Think, Gal Pals, Moonlight Towers and Roger Sellers. I mean, it is Austin’s year to take this conference back from the invaders. However, they will have to contend with artists like Best Coast, Futurebirds, Diarrhea Planet, Beacon, Broncho, Palma Violets, Joywave and Jeff the Brotherhood, as well as all the big names already announced.

Start girding those loins….

Second Round of SxSW Music Artists

sxsw-music-logoIt is time to share the next big batch of bands and people and things that the masses will be chasing from venue to venue and between day-party tents during SxSW.

It still feels too far away to get excited, yet I get a flutter. THere are some pretty good names on the list, including local faves, ATH faves and some good touring acts that otherwise may not be in town. In no particular (alphabetical), here are some highlights: Beat Connection, The Cribs, The Districts, EX-Cult, Gang of Four, King TUff, Nikki Lane, Mirror Travel, My Jerusalem, Pujol, Sophie, Surfer Blood, SURVIVE, Ting Tings, Twin Shadow, Yukon Blonde and Yumi Zouma. One kind of cool thing SxSW is doing now is SxSW fm and they have a “podcast” on Soundcloud as a preview of this round of artists. Check it out below and head past the break for the full list. #itisaconference #notafestival

New Music from Guantanamo Baywatch (SXSW Act)

Leave a comment

gbAh, yes, it’s time for the Suicide Squeeze Singles to start rolling out, and they’re starting with a bang.  Their new series begins with a split between ATH favorites Shannon and the Clams and Guantanamo Baywatch.  Last time I heard from GB, they were rocking a sweaty punk style, but this new jam seems like the perfect fit for a shared 7″ with Shannon.  It’s a country-tied garage jam with a slow pace and lyrics that will allow you optimal sing-a-long fun.  This single will hit stores on April 29th, but you can catch the band playing throughout Austin during SXSW, including the SS Party with our friends at Hardly Art on March 14th.

SXSW Party: Fleeting Youth Records Showcase @ The Owl (3/13)

Leave a comment

FYR_SXSW_PARTY

We here at ATH tend to stay away from overloading you with information about SXSW parties, shows, free booze, etc.  If you need that sort of info, I’d recommend showlistaustin or maybe even Do512.  Now what we will do is post about a show when shameless self-promotion is needed.  Today we’re happy to announce a show we (kind of) helped put on with our good friends over at Fleeting Youth Records and Modern Vinyl.  Local and national talent fill the lineup, free booze is included, and of course no silly badge is required.  More deets:

Show time: 2pm – 2am

Location: The Owl Gallery

Lineup: Habits, Clouder, Mumblr, Krill, LA Font, Big Bill, Gunther Doug, Two Inch Astronaut, Grass is Green, Butter the Children, Basketball Shorts, Ghost Wolves, The Chelsea Kills, Bent Shapes

We’ve profiled quite a few of these artists via our SXSW interviews which can be read here.  More info on the Event page.

SXSW 2014 Interview: Boogarins

Leave a comment

crop_630 (1)Today’s SXSW Interview comes to you via Brazilian band, Boogarins.  While the country is often known for its tropicalia and dance stylings, you’ll get something a little bit different from these lads; they’ve got a composition that compiles varying elements of loops and sounds into a tightly-knit piece of psych-pop for their album As Plantas Que Curam..a must listen in my book. We’re definitely excited to catch these guys, and maybe even talk a little bit of football (South American style); here’s the responses from Benke. Read more
