Wild Flag rocked the snot outta Late Night with David Letterman last night. I've now seen them twice ( SXSW and the Black Cat a couple months back), and last night's performance was nothing compared to the power they bring during a full club set. Wow... Subscribe in a reader

Even though SXSW took place in March, the release of Watch The Throne's official tracklist has offered this footage new life and Vevo is poised to fully take advantage. During the close of this year's Austin, TX's music extravaganza, myself and several others of TSS Crew were celebrating a homegoing of sorts, at the Nate Dogg tribute show, spearheaded by Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, Warren G. among others. Yet, at the same time, there was another star-studded show being carried out by Hip-Hop's glitziest troupe, G.O.O.D. Music . [...]
Had a bbq / pizza party with friends to watch game 7. I felt like my heart was going to explode and could barely watch. There were a lot of high expectations / hopes for our Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver's winter can be dark and depressing and the esteemed Canucks help us make it through this. Things were not going as planned. The Canucks were down by the end of the first period. It was tense but we remained optimistic. I still thought they could get back [...]
The brothers of Pontiak are currently in the studio working on their next full-length, but that hasn't dampened their spirits for releasing new music as witnessed by the soon-to-be-released Comecrudos EP . What the next record is going to sound like is anyone's guess, because Comecrudos represents a fairly radical departure for the band. For starters, the EP is a single piece of music, 25 minutes in length, inspired by "the orogeny and environment of West Texas from Marathon to [...]
I don't think a week has passed since Mother Mother has released their wonderful LP Eureka that I haven't put the vinyl on the turntable and enjoyed the spin. The band recorded an acoustic version of the track "Simply Simple" for XM radio while at SXSW this year and now it's available for download. I love the songwriting and more importantly the swirling of majestic voices that enter the ears and float around in the mind. Beautiful is an overused word but concerning Mother Mother it's even not enough to explain their magic [...]
We fell in love with Typhoon at SxSW and sang the praises about their latest album, Hunger and Thirst . The Portlanders also released an EP called A New Kind Of House and just made the stunning "Summer Home" available as a free download. Catch this 12-piece on tour if you can, either as a headliner or opening for The Decemberists. Typhoon - Summer Home From Hunger and Thirst: Typhoon - CPR/ Claws Pt. 2 [...]
![Ponderosa – Moonlight Revival [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3467467_lg.jpg)
One of my must-see bands at SxSW was J. Roddy Walston & The Business. And being the meticulous planner that I am, I figured seeing them at 1AM after 12 hours of killing Lone Star tallboys would be a good idea. We arrived at the No Depression showcase early to down few more in preparation for J. Roddy. Intoxication is a prerequisite for their set. Finally my penchant for overindulgence in Austin paid off. Thee band at midnight was Ponderosa and it took one song for me to fall in serious like with them. Led by Kalen Bush's [...]
A rip-roaring good time was had at our inaugural South by South Death show in Austin, TX this past March; Kvelertak, Havok, Red Fang, Wormot and Meek is Murder packed Headhunters on Red River St. and kept the energy level high throughout the afternoon. We posted Roxwel.com-filmed video footage of Red Fang, Havok and Wormrot's [...]

On Tuesday we showed you a wrap video featuring clips of performances and interviews with all five bands, and today we [...]
On the last day of my visit to Austin, TX’s SXSW Festival, I felt somewhere along the lines of a pencil that’s been sharpened down to its eraser. I barely had any energy left to dedicate to roaming around the city trying to find the “Next Big Band” and just let my friends pretty much direct me where to go. There were only a handful of bands I wanted to check out that day but overall, I was pretty beat. First I waited on line at the MOG party at Mohawk for [...]
Nearly two months after the festival, we're still digging out interviews. At this rate, we'll have them all posted just in time for Bonnaroo (in all honesty, that's probably pretty likely). Anyway, here's another. It's with one of most favorite Pittsburgh bands, Lohio who have been diligently finding new fans every day with their brand of indie-pop. If you're not familiar with them yet, then get'cher butt in gear. here is their song "Family Tree":
No longer do you have to take our written word for it; thanks to South By South Death 2011 sponsors Roxwel.com you can now see first-hand just how much fun we had at our inaugural SXSW showcase with Kvelertak, Red Fang, Havok, Wormrot and Meek is Murder. Roxwel did an incredible job capturing all the [...]
Something I just couldn't get on board with during SXSW was getting up early. I was staying in a room with six other people and every single morning I would wake up and everyone would be gone by 11AM. Screw that! I stayed up until fucking 3AM! I need some God damn energy for the next day or else I'm dragging ass for rest of the day. Especially in this Texas heat. So I woke up at the crack of noon and made my way to devour some Waffle Tacos. It exactly [...]
Ok. Before you pass up this video you gotta hear me out first. I randomly stumbled across this video today and was pleasantly surprised. The Tyler in this interview with The Drone at SXSW is a not super crazy Tyler. He's just a normal kid tryna make it. After you watch this you'll definitely have a new perspective on the Odd Future star...I kinda sorta like him now; definitely less afraid of him. Sidenote: I love cussers. There are no posts related to Random Video: Tyler, the Creator at SXSW (interview).
