SXSW 2014 Interview: Natural Child

Leave a comment

131202-natural-child-velvet-undergroundOne 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

SXSW 2014 Interview: Each Other

Leave a comment

eachotherRunning 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.

SXSW 2014 Interview: The Rich Hands

Leave a comment

richhands“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

New Tune from Each Other (SXSW Act)

Leave a comment

eachotherOne of the many bands I’m really excited to see this year at SXSW is Each Other.  We’ve covered the band previously, and we even have an interview scheduled to run with them in the next few days.  But, today we share with you their latest single that shows the careful operation of the band’s music.  Their first single had a very angular approach, filled with a nice hook, but this song unfolds slowly.  It’s focusing on a nice little bounce that the group has built from their sharply ringing guitars and steady drumming.  It’s just another great tune that’ll pop up on the band’s Being Elastic album, which is slated for a March 4th release date.

Pop Tune from The Kickback (SXSW Act)

Leave a comment

kickbackOne of the great things about the build-up to SXSW is trying to map out your schedule based on bands you’ve had on your radar or bands that have just popped up via one song you caught.  For me, the Kickback made that list with their latest single, “When I Die.”  There’s a catchiness centered around the swirling “whoas” in the chorus, but I appreciate the smoky softness of the soaring vocals as well.  Plus, their forthcoming record also has roots in Austin, with production duties being handled by our very own, Jim Eno.  Just wait for the explosive burst that raps up the song; get ready to catch them as they blow into town for SXSW.
