Show Pics: Best of Showcases @ SxSW 2012

Leave a comment

So this is goodbye…

I officially declare SxSW 2012 done with this collection of pics pulled in from showcases. While this isn’t every band I saw, it is every band that I happened to enjoy seeing, other than the Night at the Belmont shots already posted. I still have trouble remembering what happened and when. Is it time to register for next year yet?

Click through and I will share a few thoughts and you will see shots of Solander, Django Django, Blondes, Class Actress, Howler, Blouse, Breton and more…

Stream New Jam from White Arrows

Leave a comment

Just a few weeks ago, I was really impressed by White Arrows at SXSW, so now that they’ve got a single floating about, it’s time that we share that with you.  This track is just as vibrant as I remember when I heard it live, although I think the recorded material has a bit more of an electronic touch then the live performance.  Regardless, you can’t just listen to this song once; it’s laden with hooks galore.  There’s that tribal percussive element and even a mellow little breakdown near the end of the track.  You can find this jam and a few others on the bands upcoming Fireworks of the Sea EP, and look for a full-length later in the year.

SXSW Interviews: Tribes

Leave a comment

We’ve all fully recovered from our SXSW shenanigans here at ATH and our coverage is also just about over.  Before we call it quits, I’ve got one more interview coming your way from UK indie rock band Tribes.  Jim Cratchley took the time to answer our round of SXSW questions shortly after his band left town and headed back out on the road.  You can find his responses after the jump.

BGray’s SxSW Reflection

Leave a comment

I had my camera. I took almost 4,000 pictures. That seemed like a lot, but once I factored in the number of bands, the odd things that have to be documented, the friends gathering for shenanigans and the eight long days involved, it really wasn’t surprising. I haven’t done the final tally, but it would be fair to say that I saw part of a set from around seventy bands.

It is my turn to give a rundown on bests and worsts of The Conference. The many highs were tempered by very few lows. I chased that BUZZ that drives the relevant music fan. My summary will be a little different because I did the whole damn thing; twelve movies, several Interactive and film panels and of course all the music.

So, plenty on the movies, panels and bands and a flurry of pics to accompany all that 411 after the break…

Everyone has a love/hate relationship with SXSW.  We’re all so happy at the beginning of the week only to hate life come Monday.  We here at ATH want to provide some recaps from our week of music and we’ll be doing that with some personal reflections from each member of our staff.  Follow the jump for more from me.

SXSW Interviews: Young Magic

Leave a comment

Michael Italia’s probably not a household name, not just yet.  With that in mind, 2012 seems perfect for his project, Young Magic, to break through to the masses, as he’s already gotten a lot of attention from the press.  We were fortunate to catch up with him before he headed to SXSW to get a brief glimpse inside his mind.  You can check out his SXSW dates after the interview. Thanks again to Gloria for setting things up! Read more

SXSW Interviews: Jonquil

Leave a comment

I’ve always been a big fan of Jonquil.  At times their music is pop with dance inducing rhythms, but then they can just be more of a straight up rock n roll band.  Either way, I find myself listening to the band when looking for something unique to pass the time.  Band member Robin McDiarmid took some time to answer our SXSW questions and his answers can be found after the jump.
