Post SXSW Mix

SXSW 2010 was great as usual and, as usual, I saw some great shows and discovered a few great new bands. In addition to all the good stuff coming out of SXSW, I thought I’d share with you a few other great tracks I’ve come across lately.

SXSW 2010 Mix

I thought I’d take a few minutes and create a mix of some of the bands I’m looking forward to seeing this year at SXSW.

Port O’Brien at SXSW

I’m so bummed I missed these guys. Good thing Morgan got them on video. She’s got lots more great SXSW footage over here.

SXSW HYPE: The Knux

I don’t drink coffee, but “I need a fresh cappuccino with a mocha twist!”

SXSW HYPE: The Thermals

I’m pretty sure that The Thermals are #1 on my must see list this year. I’ve been a huge, huge fan for a long time and have never seen them preform live.

SXSW HYPE: Matt & Kim

Matt & Kim are going to be fun. And cute.

SXSW HYPE: Anathallo

Canopy Glow by Anathallo was one of my favorites from 2008 and I might be more excited to see them than anyone else at SXSW. And that’s saying a whole lot.

SXSW HYPE: Asobi Seksu

Asobi Seksu is one of the bands I’m most excited to see at SXSW this year. Listening to their albums, they might seem a bit mellow, but I’ve heard enough amazing reviews, and watched enough video to know they’ll be awesome live. I sort of expect a kind of mini Radiohead kind of experience. But, then again, maybe I’m building it up.

SXSW HYPE: Priestess

Just in case you were wondering, I do plan to rock the fuck out at SXSW and I’m looking for Priestess to bring some thunder.

SXSW HYPE: The Republic Tigers

Really excited to see The Republic Tigers. I can’t tell you how much I’ve been enjoying Keep Color, it’s an amazingly cool album full of fun and interesting songs that cover a wide range of styles.

SXSW HYPE: The Features

The Features are my latest favorite band. They’ve been around for a long time, but I’ve only recently been introduced to them, via the most awesome radio station in the history of earth KEXP, who, by the way, is having a donation drive right now and deserves some love.

SXSW HYPE: Crocodile

Today I want to start of with a band I know very, very little about. In fact, I’d never heard ‘em or heard of them until about an hour ago. They’re called Crocodile and they’re from Oklahoma City and they make some great, if a bit syrupy sweet, synth pop.

SXSW HYPE: Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head

I saw Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head about a year ago opening for CSS and loved ‘em.

SXSW HYPE: Asylum Street Spankers

Sarah introduced me to Austin natives Asylum Street Spankers just after she found out they were playing SXSW and they rocketed to the top of my must see list.

SXSW HYPE: White Lies

I’m going to try to do a post every other day or so to talk about a band I’m excited to see at SXSW. The should be short posts as most of these bands I’ll be talking about I don’t know much about. (Wow, that was an awkwardly worded sentence. Moving on.) First up: White Lies, an indie, post-punk, dance/rock band from London.
