Beats Per Minute Most tours follow some sort of logical routing anchored around major markets, festivals, what have you. Reunion tours are usually even moreso, what with their main motivation - or at least one of them - being to maximize revenue rather than build audiences (unless of course you're the Pixies, in which case your motivation is to play ever single market ever). So it's been equally frustrating and exciting to try and figure out what The Jesus & Mary Chain would do next. After calling it a day following 19982s [...]
Frank Yang Notes from amidst the party-hopping and barbecue on the Thursday of SXSW are located over here . Big Deal - Ameri-English he-she duo armed with guitars, voices and sleepy, intimate songs who released their debut Lights Out came out in January. Photos: Big Deal @ Jackalope - March 15, 2012 MP3: Big Deal - "Chair" Video: Big Deal [...]

Photo by David Greenwald SXSW 2012 was, as expected, the best week imaginable. Here are the shows/bands I liked the most. Here's a Rawkblog Best of SXSW 2012 Spotify playlist - listen along while you read. WEDNESDAY Future Unlimited apparently were struggling with sound issues at Beauty Bar - I didn't get the chance to see them again, but their recordings are a pretty promising take on Cut Copy-style synth anthems. Hospitality : The band I most wanted to see at SXSW was [...]
Tuesday things: ► Sharon Van Etten and the War on Drugs visit the Avalon Hollywood in a double bill of two artists with gorgeous (and critically praised) albums. Van Etten's third album "Tramp" came out earlier this year to almost universal acclaim; the War on Drugs is still riding a wave of attention for August's "Slave Ambient." ► Of Montreal is coming off exhilarating shows at SXSW where the band performed its 2005 album "The Sunlandic Twins," but tonight at the Wiltern, where they are appearing with Deerhoof [...]
Frank Yang Know what makes it a bit difficult to concentrate on covering stuff in the afternoon? Finding out in the morning that you've won a ticket to see Bruce Springsteen in an intimate theatre show that night. Not bragging - okay, a little - just adding some context. And bragging. Yeah. Anyways, after doing my victory dance (don't pretend you don't have a victory dance) I did get out into the world to check out a day show at Jackalope run by fellow blogger Rawkblog that featured [...]
Here's UK duo Big Deal turning in a lovely, subdued version of the Big Star classic "Thirteen" at Rawkblog and TwentyFourBit's SXSW party last week. The band's playing the Echo on Tuesday, if you'd like to repeat the experience IRL. Watch them crushing their own "Talk" below, and thanks to Rincewind1013 for the videos. Look for more from our own video crew soon.

Music Review: Lights Out by Big Deal Is Big Deal a big deal? That will be the inevitable question East London indie duo Big Deal runs into as they promote their debut album, Lights Out. The band's title is audacious in its presence; it forces you to ask one of two things: Does the band actually [...]

Die ersten Sonnenstrahlen sind bereits wieder verschwund: Mitte Woche gibt es im Papiersaal trotzdem die unaufgeregte Frühlingsmusik von Big Deal. Im Juni spekulierte Kollege Durrer:"Mit unspektakulärem Schlafzimmer-Rock mag Big Deal den abgebrühten Hipster nicht grad aus den Socken hauen, dürfte aber so manchem den Gang zur Nachtruhe verschönern". Über ein halbes Jahr später macht sich das gemischte Duo auf den Weg in die Schweizer Hipster-Hochburg Zürich. Dort spielen KC Underwood und Alice Costellos am Mittwochabend im Papiersaal ihr einziges Schweizer Konzert. So unaufgeregt ihre Musik, so nennswert [...]
Well, it's a vulgar headline, but you know I will. No-one wants to be that stupid prick at the world's busiest music festival with not a fucking soul at his fucking picnic. So honestly, please come! In all honesty, I think you'll struggle to find a finer lineup for an afternoon's entertainment. Blitzen Trapper are headlining. Mute's Big Deal are playing too, who I discovered courtesy of the brilliant PAWS covering one of their songs for our June split 123. Jonathan Meiburg from Shearwater will be playing a stripped back set with an electric guitar and a backing [...]
I honestly thought I was done with politics. Watching us commit genocide in Iraq despite the protests across the entire country, and then watching the Lib Dems spinelessly capitulate to the rapacious, craven Tory lizards once they got their little sniff of power just sickened me. Right, I thought, I am done with this shit, it is just a gigantic waste of everyone's time. However, the Tories haven't just been shit, they've been a repellent disgrace, governing with a sort of vindictive, cackling glee generally reserved for people in plastic armour in the Star Wars movies. [...]
Stumbled across this duo Big Deal randomly - while these kids probably look a little too hip for their own good (and too British) I can get with the sound: strummy fuzzy acoustic/electric with dual girl/boy vocals and nice harmonies. Not as annoying as Moldy Peaches, more of a Raveonettes/SY vibe. <!-- <!-- <!--

I recently had the privilege of talking to the American half of Big Deal, Kacey Underwood. We chatted about how him and fellow band mate, Alice Costelloe joined forces, their scheduled SXSW performance, the albums Breaking Up and Falling In love feel to it, and the bands new found love for Ikea. He also offers some advice to fellow musicians and gives us a little insight on a few bands to keep an eye on. JB: What is the story behind the creation of [...]
