This is fine.
Looks like the madness is already underway, so we wanted to be sure those in town this week got a nice peep at what’s in store for SXSW. Today we bring you a quick little interview with new Austin powerhouse, Daiistar. They’ve just recently gotten up and going, so we’re looking forward to hearing what they bring to the live setting.
Those of you looking for nostalgic 90s rock n’ roll vibes need look no further than the work of Austin’s Daiistar. Their sound definitely has some interesting bits to it, which perhaps owes to production work by Alex Maas of Black Angels fame. You get the sort of acid house meets BJM psychedelia in the rhythm section, offering up that sort of hip-shaking thunder beneath the surface. Some fiery riffs rip through in between various riffs, pulling back to let the vocals get the focal point. In that, the vocals here seem to be channeling Brit rockers Repulica on their hit single “Ready to Go.” Give it a spin and if you’re on the West Coast they’re on tour this week playing some shows.
