SXSW’s music festival is nearly upon us and we are all kinds of excited! From the babes in bands to the BBQs here’s a list of highlights we’re counting down to…tomorrow!
New acts worth the long wait in line..
HAIM:
Cannot get enough of this LA sisterly love. Their video for “Falling” makes us want to running wild and dance around a campfire. Any one care to join us? We’re also growing out are hair and sorting out new middle parts.
Pronounced “Churches” because the letter V is the new U. Addictive and dark synth pop trio from Glasgow, fronted by electro nymph Lauren Mayberry.
Norwegian indie baroque loveliness with talent and a great Tame Impala cover. Their music video for “Fog Of War” has up hypnotized and intrigued.
18 year-old Brooklyn kid. New era ish. Many a mixtape to his name. Fresh rhymes, fresh face, old school vibes. And yes. He’s a bad a$$.
Rooftop Tings
Daytime Showcases/Publication Parties
Fader Fort: Pretty sure the RSVPs for this one sold out in less than a day, due to Fader’s rep for knowing how to throw a shindig. With acts like Sky Ferreira, DIIV and Disclosure on the bill, there’s no doubt that this year’s Fort will be a good time.
Viceland: Snoop Lion. Kendrick Lamar. Ghostface. Need we say more?
Pitchfork: So much Canada talent billed including Blue Hawaii Azari & III, Mac DeMarco, White Lung, Ryan Hemsworth and Doldrums. Perhaps a flash of our Canadian passport will bump us into VIP status. An 8.0 rating at least.
Night time jam we’re already planning our outfit for…
Ray-Ban/Boiler Room: What started off as a bunch of friends playing music in a small room has turned into the biggest underground show online. You’ll have to tune in and try to spot us. Here’s a set with Skream going back to back with Disclosure at the W Hotel in London. We’re gonna try and top this.
