SXSW is like a suspension of normal reality when it comes to gigs, events and festivals. That goes some way to explaining how I ended up curating the lineup for a St. Patrick's Day gig at The Hype Machine's Hype Hotel . We had six great live sets from six of the best new bands around, free drink, free tacos, massages and photobooths. The whole thing was captured and broadcast by Livestream and the warehouse venue had lighting that came from Cirque De Soleil. Insane. Thanks to all involved for making it happen and [...]

Some record labels just nail it every single time. It's obviously rare, because scouting for the very best new music is one thing, but then actually signing them can require further fortune, as you compete with so many others, but every now and again a record label appears and it delivers band after band of awesomeness. Double Denim is one such label. They can proudly mention current hype magnets, such as Outfit and Zulu Winter , when discussing their roster, having already released the likes of Blackbird Blackbird , Body Language and [...]

Ford and Kick Kick Snare were pleased to host a showcase of emerging artists last week in Austin, and what an event! Highlighting the new 2013 Ford Escape and its incredible sound system, as well as the musical stylings of six of the country's hottest and most talented emerging artists at the legendary Stubb's BBQ, we couldn't have asked for a better line-up. Just check out the highlight reel from the day and you'll begin to see how much fun we all had. You [...]

If you were in Austin during SXSW you couldn't go many blocks without seeing Body Language on the cover of The Deli . Very cool bunch of talented artists that we were lucky to have on our stage! You may also enjoy...: Joywave Amanda Mair [...]

As their bio will tell you, the eastern seaboard's foremost relaxation specialists, Vactioner , will send each listener "on a well-deserved trip. No airfare needed, no reservations. Simply settle in, relax and enjoy; Vacation from anywhere at anytime." With the Vacationer 'Gone' album release approaching tomorrow, we're able to give you an early look and listen of "Great Love." The Body Language produced record will be out via Downtown Records, and they'll be touring with the Naked and Famous post SXSW. [...]

It's that time of year again, and with the music portion of SXSW kicking off this week we find it only fitting to highlight some of the best artists rolling through Austin this year. Our All Things Go West mixtape highlights some already-household names (Reptar, Body Language, The Big Pink) as well as others looking to make their mark on the industry in 2012 (Charli XCX, Fort Lean, Vacationer). You can check them all out individually or download the mixtape as a whole below. And for those of you hitting up SXSW this year, make sure to stop [...]

It was tough planning a line-up for the third installment of our New Noise series, especially after February's insane show with Reptar, Fort Lean and Casual Curious . This month, however, we'll be returning with a pair of co-headliners that should do just the trick. On Saturday, March 31st we'll be welcoming Body Language and ANR to the Gibson Guitars Showroom . Any of you well-versed in the ways of ATG should be no strangers to either of these bands. Miami's ANR has long been a favorite of ATG and have a proven [...]

Every March, the music industry packs it's bags and moves to Austin, Texas for South By Southwest, a festival that manages to get bigger and bigger each year despite it's already gargantuan/beastly size. Given the overwhelming number of performances by over 1,400 acts, we've compiled a short list of ten bands that you simply must see. Many of these bands may not be on your radar right now, but with some luck, they'll come out of SXSW as indie household names, gaining more traction and playing bigger venues and as a result of this four day period [...]

Matthew Dear is very much interested in aesthetics-of both the visual and the auditory nature. He and his band are damn well put-together. This is clear from the beginning. The whole group dons dapper-wear of the black and white variety (opener Body Language's drummer even changes into a new outfit before returning as Dear's Pat Mahoney for the evening). He wears black leather boots, wrinkled leather pants, a micro-collared, pure-white button-down, and an asymmetrical, artsy black sport coat. He slicks his black hair back before he picks up his black Gibson Les Paul, the jet-black glimmering with a perfect [...]

Body Language decided to remix Vacationer 's cool jam, "Trip". They have changed the chill track into a mid-tempo arrangement sampli ng the finest of Caribbean culture. After seeing both these bands back to back at CMJ last year, I already knew this was a match made in heaven before hearing this.

Got sent this new Body Language remix for Vacationer's track "Trip" . Digging the sounds. A mid-tempo slightly calypso sounding remix that's pretty much 180 degrees different than the original. Love when they do that. Check out the track below which is being offered as a free download and the original track for comparison sake. Enjoy!

This year The Deli will be in Austin during the unmentionable festival with a 2 stage party on Thursday March 15 at the Gypsy Lounge in the East Side ! Awesome dancey bands on the outdoors stage will tempt the audience to some wild booty shakin' action, while indoors fantastic rock and alt folk acts will alternatively punch you and sooth your soul. Check this lineup out and (if you are going to be in Austin) do not miss! OUTDOORS STAGE [...]

There are many times when it's wonderful to live in New York City, yet few times are quite as amazing as these next fews weeks, a time when tons and tons of amazing bands come through town before they make their way down to Austin, Texas for SXSW . It does make sense, what better way to build up some hype before the year's most important music festival/conference than playing shows in New York City?
