We are all in a bit of a SXSW hangover here at WOXY this week.

The past year has been a good one for Portugal. The Man. They released their fourth album, The Satanic Satanist and played some big festivals like Bonnaroo and Outside Lands. The band toured like crazy last year and continued to build up a great fanbase in the process. Now they are ready to take on anything after starting off their 2010 tour with sellout shows, including two nights here in Austin. Their brand new album, American Ghetto sees the band continuing to hone their craft as they prepare to make this year an [...]
We told you we had a lot of surprises up our sleeves for SXSW this year, and we didn't lie. In addition to our official showcase at Emo's Annex on March 19 and our solid week of live SXSW Lounge Acts, we're co-presenting Home Slice Pizza's Music by the Slice 2010 party, taking place March 18-20 at Home Slice on S.

We're proud to announce the details of our SXSW day party, happening Wednesday, March 17 at the Mohawk . Together with Austinist and BMI , we're pulling out all the stops for this year's event. The Mohawk (located at 912 Red River) is one of the premiere Austin venues, and we'll be using both the indoor and outdoor stage for our event. The terrace will treat fans to a bird's eye view of the outdoors, and the upstairs VIP deck will be the hot spot in downtown Austin that afternoon. [...]
Every year, WOXY hunkers down for SXSW in the studio and records live sessions with a slew of our favorite bands. This year is special, though. It's our first year as Austin residents, and our first year with a fantastic space that is all ours - and you can bet we've thrown our hearts and minds completely into planning this year's SXSW Lounge Acts. We're also offering something completely new and special to our listeners. Together with Home Slice Pizza and Sweet Leaf Tea , we're giving some listeners the unique opportunity to join [...]
We kicked off our local residency series at Stubb's back in November with Neon Indian, and now we're back at the same venue for another installment of the WOXY Local Residency series. This time, we're excited to welcome one of our favorite local bands, the Golden Boys, Crooks and A Giant Dog. The latest and fourth Golden Boys record, Thee Electric Wolfman is a "shambolic collection of party rockers and soulful wailers." They're a lot of fun - especially live - and we can't wait to ramble through some punk rock with them [...]
A year after the release of their Sub Pop debut Tight Knit , we caught up with Vetiver right as they were completing a tour with The Clientele. Led by Andy Cabic, the band is in fine form in this performance which begins with two tracks that were featured only on a limited edition 73 single released for Record Store Day last Spring. In the interview, Shiv talks to Cabic about partnering up with Sub Pop, the intricacies of hitting the road when he lives in San Francisco and the rest of [...]

The Trala-Lala Radio Hour is our newest show, hosted by Ben, Jeff and Jocie of The Low Anthem. We’ll let Ben give you the background: Long before Low Anthem, Jeff and I used to DJ the graveyard shift on WBRU (Providence, RI). So, starting on January 31, we’re going to be doing a weekly program on WOXY. It’ll be fun to revisit. We’re calling it Trala-Lala Radio Hour and here’s the idea: we’re going to tape our shows from the tour van or wherever we may be traveling. Every week will feature a [...]

When it became clear to John Davis in early 2008 that Georgie James was probably not going to last, he immersed himself in writing new material. He wasn't sure if it would become a solo album or if things would possibly turn around and become a second Georgie James release. By Summer 2008, the band officially called it quits and John had an entire album's worth of material ready to go. He recorded solo, but eventually assembled a backing band that has become Title Tracks. While on tour with Boston's Pretty & Nice, John and the [...]
