Artist: Texas

by Mila Matveeva The Brooklyn music scene was being nicely represented in Austin, Texas this week at SXSW . Vincent Cacchione, Magali Charron, Talya Cacchione and Patrick Curry, AKA Caged Animals , played as part of Pianos/Prefix Mag's SXSW showcase earlier this week and, as usual, they did not disappoint. I've been mad about these guys ever since I came upon their " Teflon Heart " single (which I snagged on beautiful pink vinyl! <3) on their label Lucky Number Music 's site (the same guys who brought you Friends and Darwin Deez ). Wednesday night's performance [...]

Many a music fan/blog geek has been silently shedding tears onto their keyboard this week as the whirlwind that is SXSW rolls through Austin, Texas. SXSW sees a mix of the brightest, biggest and best names in music ride into Austin-town for shows, with pretty much every modern genre well represented. Never one to miss out on a party, Jay Z decided to hold court at SXSW this year, reaching a gentleman's agreement with sponsors American Express to let them film his whole show and slap it on YouTube.

CLICK PICTURE TO VIEW FLYER Wow, this isnt a SXSW event? Cool! Look, this is a FREE event, especially for those of you who cant get into any of the SXSW joints! Dont worry about if there's an RSVP; there is NONE (just get your ass there). What's special about this event (in my opinion) is that there wont be ANY DJ using SERRATO ; its an all-vinyl affair with the 45s, used by popular DJs from across the country, namely those who have been a part [...]

Sadly, we're not down in Austin, TX getting weird at the 2012 SXSW Music Festival. However, so...

Capybara Mark Harrison plays drums in Capybara , a band based in Kansas City, but has been living in Austin for the past six months. The distance between the two cities is about 12 hours and while the rest of the band is getting ready to make the long drive, Mark is enjoying the sun and eating as many tacos as humanly possible. Mark gave us his thoughts on where hungery travelers should head if they want tacos, coffee, a sugar rush, magical elixirs, and more. Capybara just released their second LP, will be playing [...]

There's no denying that SXSW is a rock festival, what with all the gee-tars and it being in Texas and all. But as is the path of most things music related nowadays, a shift towards electronic... Support indie media! Read the rest at thephoenix.com . . .

A couple of A Grumpy Old Man With A Beard oldboys have joined forces for today's post, with Austin, Texas producer NickNack linking up with his fellow Lone Star-staters A.Dd+ to drop a sweet new tune. 'Can't You See' is based around a slow guitar loop and smouldering bass cooked up by Nick, while M.C.s Paris Pershun and Slim Gravy bring their vocal treats to the table. Slim had this to say about the track: "What's interesting about this song was that I had written [...]

Austin, Texas is the bands 6th stop on the tour, and things have really heated up in the state of Texas so far. Both shows in Houston and Dallas were filled with some huge surprises as the band played 2 incredible Setlists back to back. Look for the same to hold true when it comes to Austin, Texas, as Radiohead show no signs of playing the same set over and over, night after night. Look for a set filled with 23-24 songs and maybe a new song or two in the middle. [...]

Radiohead performed last night at the Moody Theater in Austin, Texas as part of their tour through Texas. The band performed on Austin City Limits and will be broadcast on PBS at a later date. The performance came in the middle of shows in Dallas on March 5th and their show tonight March 7th in Austin, Texas. The performance is a bit stripped down from what they have been playing at the various arenas but has a lot of things that are familiar to it as well. The mood is set early on with the Tour [...]

Feature Cuts just released an amazing new remix of Kaskade & Skylar Grey's "Room for Happiness" that is a MUST hear. Expect to hear more about Feature Cuts in the near future. He already has built quite a name for himself in the little under a year that he has been producing EDM/Dubstep music. Below [...]

Radiohead hit Dallas, Texas, American Airlines Center tonight for the 5th stop on their World Tour. The band are coming off of a massive performance in Houston (3/3/12) which saw them play new songs 'Identikit' and 'Cut A Hole' along with tour debuts '15 Step', 'These Are My Twisted Words', and the echoing finale 'Paranoid Andriod. Once again the combo of Feral/Idioteque is right in the middle, and the band played new song 'Identikit' and 'The Amazing Sounds of Orgy' for the first time ever live. 'Climbing Up The Walls' also made the tour debut [...]

Last week I attended the Folk Alliance International Conference in Memphis, TN. I spent a few hectic days attending seminars, networking and playing showcases. It was a lot of fun and we met a bunch of great people there that I hope to reconnect with further down the road. It was interesting to be totally surrounded by folkies for a while. I've always counted myself into the genre but haven't quite been part of the scene if you know what I mean. Folk - being such a small genre in Sweden, I've always been a part of the [...]

It doesn't roll off the tongue with quite the same alliterative ease but let's call this Freeloader Monday. If you're heading down to Austin next week, it's a good bet that you have started to assemble an elaborate SXSW itinerary that will take you all over the city to see ...
