Sticking to your schedule at South by Southwest (SXSW) takes discipline and heaping portions of luck. You better swallow this pill now: You will not be able to see all of the bands you want to see, even if you are trying to be conservative with your schedule. Think about the fact that every year in Austin the crowds get bigger and bigger, yet the venues stay the same size. Clubs and bars will hit capacity faster than ever this year, so it's time you have some back up options, and some outlying parties to check out. [...]
Este es nuestro mixtape de febrero y estamos 10% seguros de que les va a gustar. Nuestra excesiva confianza radica, como casi siempre, en la primera canción de la mezcla, que en esta oportunidad se trata de un aporte del nuevo proyecto de Spencer Krug ( Wolf Parade , Sunset Rubdown , etc.) y en el último corte, proveniente del álbum en solitario de Peter Broderick ( Efterklang , Horse Feathers , Loch Lomond , etc.). Otros potenciales éxitos a destacar serían las nuevas de The Hussy , FIDLAR [...]

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 You know what's fun? Kicking the weekend off early, and that's why I'm recommending that you head down to the Mohawk tomorrow night and order yourself one of those large Brooklyn Lager cans (or a Lone Star tallboy, if you prefer), and then sit back and enjoy four great Austin bands: Black Books, Residual Kid, Boy + Kite, and La Snacks. Tomorrow's show began as an EP release show for Residual Kid, but it has taken on a new meaning. Their music instructor and producer [...]
The second single from their album Go Fly. We featured Think in Stereo back in July, and personally I think this is the better of the two. "Austin's Boy + Kite has released the second single from its critically praised debut album Go Fly. "Deciphering Static" is another example of the fine boy-girl vocal sharing that has become the band's signature." [Fanatic] Download "Deciphering Static" [...]
![[Introducing] – Boy + Kite](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3755775_lg.jpg)
Tweet Generally speaking, water and musical instruments don't mix, but Boy + Kite (the + is "plus", not "and") managed to find a way to make it work. In fairness, it's not as though they routinely gig from a hot tub, but they did form in one. It's impressive enough that they could muster the energy and inspiration to do anything other than kick back with a cold one, if you ask me. This all transpired as a result of founding members Darvin Jones and [...]

I owe an apology to everyone for slacking last week and not having a playlist up. I'm now part of the Listen Before You Buy family doing "New Music" posts and this is my first week involved with them it's something I'm excited about. Having never cared about editing or formatting and only about getting [...]
It's time once again for Weekly Roundup , check it out!
Take Sonic Youth's dynamic shifts and sexy sensibility, especially when applied to its more structurally anchored work ( Experimental Jet Set , Dirty , etc.). Add what could be said to approach a fetish: Electric axes digging hard into blues-based riffs. Then throw in some Pixies/Cure love (okay, what great contemporary band doesn't have some of at least one of those?). You end up with a sound that simultaneously stimulates and satisfies: in other words, irresistibly scrumpdiliocious rock 'n' roll. The kind of stuff where the first few bars [...]

I whip my hair back and forth. Not because I am a teenage girl (although I sometimes act like one) but because there is a party. No, it's not in my pants. This party is in my ears, and soon it will be in yours as well. I am pleased to present to you The Indie Sabbath - more refreshing than an ice-cold soda in the middle of the desert. For me, music is the purest form of communication this world has to offer. I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. [...]

Kind of slim pickin' this week on the new releases, here is a couple that caught our ear. Blind Atlas; Iron Wall Blind Atlas; Mary Anne Boy + Kite; Go Fly Boy + Kite; Think In Stereo
Boy + Kite ("Boy Plus Kite") was formed in 2009 in an an unlikely place - a hot tub. Back then, Boy + Kite 's Darvin Jones and Beth Puorro would often sneak into a spa on the outskirts of Austin to swim and pretend to be members of the bourgeoisie. With a debut album waiting in the wings, and the studio duo now a full-fledged live foursome, Boy + Kite is ready to hit the ground running. "I feel like we have recorded a very solid first album and produced it as well [...]
