The littoral British retreat that is Brighton may be better renowned for saccharine tat and chish and fips still swimming in gristle and grime than it may be for musics and the manic frenzy their festivals so often entail, although the city becomes a bloody hive of hype for the one weekend of the year. That is this, and this is the 2013 edition of The Great Escape . So let the buzz begin! Away from the unrelenting bustle of the capital – a restive kind of agitation capable of bludgeoning even the irrepressibly ebullient [...]
Welcome to the second edition of SXSW Halfway House Sessions which we shot down in Austin during the SXSW Music Festival. These stripped down one off sessions were crudely shot in a small room inside a downtown Austin apartment with one microphone. A self-described ‘old soul’, Tyler Lyle’s lyrics carry the weight and understanding that go far beyond his twenty-seven+ years. A transplant from Atlanta, GA to Santa Monica, CA Tyler Lyle has self-released several independent projects in the last few years including his latest EP Expatriates : This small collection of [...]
Foxygen / Foto: Angel Ceballos Por: @folkmetender Antes de los 25 años, normalmente uno no quiere preocupaciones, es la última etapa en la que podemos perder el tiempo y seguir en casa de nuestros padres sin preocuparnos tanto. No es algo sencillo, estamos en el borde de olvidar todo rastro de adolescencia y convertirnos en adultos. Es el límite, según dicen los "mayores". Para Sam France y Jonathan Rado , la música fue el escape perfecto para sus años de adolescentes. Desde 2005 se juntaron para tocar bajo [...]
A few weeks ago, I got an invite to go to David Draiman's house in Texas. He was going to provide food from the best barbecue joint in Austin. The catch? I had to listen to the new album from his new project, Device . Mmmm, barbecue. How bad could it be, right? Mmmm, barbecue. 'Mad' David Draiman. He's the singer from Disturbed. He made that weird monkey noise in rock club floor-filler, 'Stupify' . He's the guy with those [...]
The next installment of SF MusicTech Summit is two weeks out from today. If you tend to follow the biggest music + tech-related events in the Bay Area, you might be asking yourself something along the lines of "wait, didn't they just throw one of these events a few months ago?" Yes, it's not your [...] The post Save Big SF MusicTech Summit #13 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

World renowned and Grammy-nominated Deutsche Grammophon recording artist Avi Avital recently linked up with B3SCI on the mean streets of Austin, TX to chat about his musical relationship with the mandolin and to play us a new song. We captured Avi doing what he does best with this unique and special performance at the Bungalow on Rainy St. during mid-day SXSW 2013. Avi really gets into it about half-way through, such an awesome moment. Check it out below... Avi Avital ( Facebook )
20132s Austin City Limits billed a wide array of artists spanning almost every genre, which is suspicious in that Austin's claim to fame, second only to "being weird," is the equally eclectic and massive SXSW. It's sort of mind-blowing that a city with population under 1MM can support as many festivals as Austin hosts these days, but I guess if you build it they will come? Or something? In all seriousness though, I had many a conversation with SXSW veterans while I was in town last, who've watched the event swell over the last 15 years, [...]
Daft Punk y su nave espacial. Esta semana por fin podremos escuchar el nuevo álbum de Daft Punk , Random Access Memories . Pocos lanzamientos han generado tanta expectativa como este, apoyado por una gran cantidad de rumores pero también por una excelente campaña de publicidad alrededor del álbum. Desde los pósters en la calle durante SXSW , hasta la serie de videos con sus colaboradores. Hoy, la pareja de robots desempaca la edición en vinilo de Random Access Memories desde su nave espacial y la comparte con el mundo a [...]
Back in Austin, during SXSW, we caught up with Norwegian singer/songwriter Thomas Dybdahl to chat for a bit about his forthcoming What's Left is Forever release. Check out this exclusive performance of his new track, "This Love Is Here To Stay" from the album. Thomas Dybdahl ( Official )
Savages have been a hot commodity for festival promotors this year, and with good reason. Though ten times more mature than any punk band that came from -well, anywhere ever- this all-grrl group wears their "Anarchy in the UK" lineage on their sleeves as they write decidedly garage-influenced 'indie' songs. I guess this is what comes after punk: mature songwriting, wildly contrasting dynamics, musicianship, and impeccable vocal control. So were you one that missed the gals at SXSW and Coachella? Don't sweat it. Recently our friends at The Creators Project hooked up [...]
When you're a young, up-and-coming band playing South by Southwest, there's a fair amount of risk involved . You essentially have to take any gig you can get, whether that's playing in front of a hamburger joint or in the corner of a half-empty bar without a proper sound system. Take Boston power-pop act Pretty & Nice ; on Wednesday of this year's SXSW, the quartet had like, a bagillion gigs across town, with audiences ranging from a group of geriatrics to a lone sleeveless cowboy. How do you make the best of so many short sets playing [...]
![MØ - Pilgrim (MS MR Remix) [ Video ]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4941205_lg.jpg)
Después de presentarse en un montón de lados, entre ellos el SXSW y Londres, MØ nos presenta el video del remix que le hizo MS MR a "Pilgrim". La chica danesa está preparando su álbum debut junto al productor Ronni Vindahl y también ha estado en el estudio con Diplo . Enjoy.
The duo were Pratt students in 2001 when they noticed how stiff the crowds were around New York, so they put their heads together and started lighting fires under kids' asses with a project unlike any of their contemporaries. Actually, do contemporaries even exist for DIY art-punk skaters that perform on bridges with marionettes, huge puppets, and shadow displays? Here we are twelve years later and in just a couple of weeks Recess Records will deliver Japanther's twenty-second release of their signature, lo-fi, "hip-hop informed" sample-punk. I hiked out to a foreign corner of Brooklyn [...]
Welcome to the first of a handful of Halfway House Sessions we shot down in Austin during the SXSW Music Festival. These stripped down one off sessions were shot crudely in a small room in a downtown Austin apartment with one microphone. Joshua James latest album From The Top Of Willamette Mountain landed on our radar shortly before our March adventure. We've been obsessed ever since. There are very few artists that write as honestly and [...]
Deli Readers, Last week, due to a sudden server emergency, we had to abruptly transfer our site to a new server, and because of this many features and pages are still not working properly. We hope you can excuse us while our programmers try to fix them - it ain't always so easy! The Deli's Staff
Two things are clear: they don’t look like Maroon 5 or sound like rainbows.
You have to have balls to show up to SXSW and play a completely experimental set like this guy did. Sincerely digging the visual aesthetic here. This is how I quit crack. Filed under: Music , VACATION , Videos Tagged: How I Quit Crack , sxsw

One to Watch by Chris Fullerton Chris Fullerton is a Music and Film writer. He lives in Austin, Texas. One of the most exciting bands I had the pleasure of seeing (twice) at SXSW was Jacksonville, Florida rock band, THE PINZ , who were in Austin to promote their latest EP, ANTI-COMPLACENCY LEAGUE. The band consists of brothers Walter Jerk (vocals/guitar) and Johnny Wyatt (bass/backing vocals) who started playing together about five years ago, and Walter’s [...]
