Anyone who witnessed the drooling mass of sub-humanity that was Nick Cave onstage with The Birthday Party back in the early 80s would have been hard pressed to imagine the singer living to see the next sunrise, much less becoming one of the elder statesmen of popular music. And yet, going on 30 years later, Cave continues to surprise and impress. His catalogue of high-quality live and studio releases with The Bad Seeds would be sufficient for most artists, but not Cave, who in recent years has added [...]

PREY FOR SLEEP - BLOOD BATH Pounding out the riffs with a stampede of fury, Austin's own Prey For Sleep definitely woke up fans midway through the Cannibal Cheerleader Blood Bath SXSW day party last week. Featuring songs from their debut LP as well as their extremely limited Forever Dies Today EP , PFS shook the walls and almost collapsed the chandeliers of the tiny Peacock bar. A long-time Cannibal Cheerleader favorite, Prey For Sleep [...]
Here is a list of all the Austin bands who will be performing (officially) at SXSW 2009. I found the list at Austin360 , and bolded those nearest and dearest to my heart. The schedule for SXSW is now live, and if you want an easy way to keep track of everything, simply click " Add their shows to my schedule " and you can automatically build a schedule with all the day parties and official showcases those bands are playing. As you may have heard, wristbands for SXSW are now [...]
Show Us Your Humanimal Face Real animals roar, hiss and howl; humanimals make crazy theatrical chamber rock. Death is Not A Joyride like to dress-up and dance around in parks and playgrounds, entertaining small children and grown-ups with their wacky fashion and rather obtuse music. The Texas band combine dark gothic melodies with quirky lyrics, somehow channelling the music of An American Chinese, The Dresden Dolls and The Polyphonic Spree into a remarkably ramshackle sound. The band dropped their debut album titled The Human Zoo [...]
I had complained that it was difficult to go through the 1,800+ band list on SXSW 's site and find what bands had been added and removed. A few hours later, a kind donewaiting.com reader (Jay Sutton) sent me lists of just the bands added and removed. He used computer magic. Silversun Pickups were added... Amanda Palmer, too... Lots and lots more.. (almost 800).. (Also, although not on the list, PJ Harvey is gonna be there too). Sadly, bands like The Vaselines and Raveonettes are no longer on the list. Could be an [...]
EXCLUSIVE NEW PREY FOR SLEEP TRACK Oh Prey For Sleep , where have you been? Busy it would seem as the winter months have brought lineup changes to the Austin metal group but no less intensity as evidenced in this new track "Forever Dies Today", an ultra-exclusive new track from a lost EP. Featuring an increase in brutality, searing drumwork, and the signature Hunter Townsend vocals, the new Prey For Sleep sounds just as good, if not better, than the old one. Check it. [...]
As the names keep piling up for South by Southwest 2009 ( Decemberists at Stubbs ! Grizzy Bear! Devo!!), a more subtle development has caught our attention that - while less impressive than this year's roster of names - will no doubt prove far more useful to those intrepid souls heading down to Austin next month. Similar to the customizable schedule-maker that CMJ unveiled for last year's Music Marathon, mySXSW.com is a new platform unveiled on the SXSW site earlier this week that allows users to manage their own personal itineraries throughout the four-day event.

Last night show at Emo's was awesome! Can I get an amen? We should have pictures and video up in the next few days. It's Friday today and another good night for music, lots of music!

We've split the list up into two categories: CONFIRMED BY SXSW and NOT CONFIRMED BY SXSW. There is no middle ground. The unconfirmed list is a mixture of band's Myspace accounts (a large majority), news articles, e-mails and other shadow sources. Sometimes bands list SXSW but what they really mean is they're playing Austin while SXSW is taking place. (Keep reading, the list is long as hell) I'd also like to thank Do512 where I crosschecked a lot of this. CONFIRMED BY SXSW [...]

Artists in PINK are recently updated. Artists in BOLD are bigger name acts. 19 Dirty Queens (Cardiff, UK) 8Ball & MCJ (Memphis, TN) A-Trak (Montreal, [...]

Thursday, March 10 th , 2005. A small crowd gathers in the backroom of The Croft in Bristol for a Context ' dubstep special' - a rare opportunity to witness some seriously exclusive dubplate action outside the confines of the scene's minuscule Croydon heartland. Presiding on the decks: Loefah of DMZ infamy, back-to-back with Skream , a young almost completely unknown producer making his first appearance in Bristol. This wasn't the first dubstep event here, but it was my first, and it had [...]
