From Chase Hoffberger, The Austin Chronicle:
Locals Boy holds only two streamable songs in its stable, but that was enough to recently entice Spoon's Jim Eno, who courted the grandiose pop quartet to record its next singles at the drummer's studio, Public Hi-Fi. Fronted by Mississippi brothers Joshua and Jakob Clark, the troupe pushes a shiny indie pop that will remind many of a polished Dr. Dog.
From Greg Beets, The Austin Chronicle:
After leading Turbopotamos to stadium-sized success, Lima, Peru's Humberto Campodonico puts his Peter Murphy-style baritone to good use on his solo debut.
From Greg Beets, The Austin Chronicle:
This Caracas, Venezuela, quartet's danceable agitprop rock imbues the Ramones' "Gabba Gabba Hey!" chant with newfound insurrection.
From Thomas Fawcett, The Austin Chronicle:
A saucy British MC who can spit fire with wordplay weirder than Weezy's. Bring your slicker 'cause Lady Leshurr be "Pizzin on Em."

From Michael Bertin, The Austin Chronicle:
Of all the voices – and man, they seem to issue them at birth to Swedish women – Talvik has the most faith in hers in an "I don't need a theatrical gimmick" kind of way.

Sudakaya's infectious fusion of reggae, ska, and traditional Latin American sounds has adherents far beyond its Quito, Ecuador, home base.

From Dan Oko, The Austin Chronicle:
As the anniversary of Japan's devastating earthquake and ensuing tsunami passes, the Pacific island nation's riveting, rocking musical community makes its mark at the annual Japan Nite showcase, beginning with fashion-forward Yokohama-based Rubies, a high-energy pop quartet featuring ex-members of the theatrical Emeralds (a SXSW presence from 2004 to 2008). Also arriving on the bill is the eagerly anticipated 24-year-old banjo phenom Saito Johnny, whose String Cheese Incident/Wasabi Highway sound won his Tokyo bluegrass band an opening slot on Taylor Swift's Far East tour. As usual, you can never count out Japan's latter-day riot grrrls, who follow in Shonen Knife's subversive steps. Lovely ladies include Tokyo's cheeky goth trio Akabane Vulgars on Strong Bypass, and ZZZ's, a driving, droning post-punk trio from the North Coast community Hyogo (it played in a previous incarnation last year as Hystoic Vein). The remaining bands include Kao=S and Osaka's Nokies! and Vampillia, respectively a grab bag of chaotic acoustic sounds and sword dancing, post-punk pop, and Nipponese nu-metal.

SMALL STONE RECORDS ANNOUNCES SXSW SHOWCASE LINE-UP
Detroit label will feature seven of heavy rock’s best at Headhunters in Austin, TX, on Friday, March 16, 2012
DETROIT, MI, January, 18, 2012 — Now entering its 17th year of operation, Small Stone Records has announced the final lineup for its 2012 SXSW showcase, set to take place Friday, March 16, on the outside back patio at Headhunters on Red River in Austin, TX. The label, home to the best in heavy and ‘70s-fueled motor rock, has assembled a roster of new and old blood for a night that’s sure to remind Austin why it loves volume so much in the first place.
Says label honcho Scott Hamilton, “We are very much looking forward to our yearly showcase in Austin. We have a great lineup that we’ll stuff into Headhunters, which is also one of our favorite little watering holes on Red River. It is always nice to tilt some back with some old friends, and some new ones too! Save the date, Friday March 16th!”
Spanning genres from the fuzz-drenched psychedelic improv jams of Austin natives Tia Carrera, who will close out the night, to the crunchy, noise-driven blues of New Orleans trio Suplecs, Small Stone’s showcase is an annual high point of South by Southwest for those who manage to remember it the next morning. The complete lineup is as follows:
Friday, March 16
Headhunters (Outside Back Patio) 720 Red River at 8th St.:
1am: Tia Carrera
12am: Dixie Witch
11pm: Suplecs
10pm: Lo-Pan
9pm: Gozu
8pm: Backwoods Payback
7pm: Dwellers

From Austin Powell, The Austin Chronicle:
Among the most underrated labels in indie rock, Austin's Western Vinyl helped establish the Dirty Projectors, Here We Go Magic, and J. Tillman, the latter showcasing for Sub Pop this year as Father John Misty. Better known as a soundtrack composer having worked for David Gordon Green among others, David Wingo takes a similarly narrative approach with Old Podrida, his compelling and increasingly electric indie folk project. Expect a new album later this year. Weatherford's Botany is a one-man sound sculptor creating organic instrumental collages, haunting and ethereal. Lower Dens guitarist Carter Tanton released his long-awaited solo bow last year, a prismatic collection of Californian psych-pop that deserves a closer listen. Headliner Lushlife offers a rewarding change of pace. The rapper and bedroom composer born Raj Haldar melds fractured, Roc-A-Fella-esque beats with Philadelphia soul and lo-fi production into a provocative strain of avant-hip-hop on his late 2011 cassette/digital mixtape No More Golden Days. His proper label debut, Plateau Vision, bolsters his crossover appeal with contributions from Heems of Das Racist, Titus Andronicus' Andrew Cedermark, and Memphis rapper Cities Aviv.

From Kate X Messer, The Austin Chronicle:
Hailing from Marfa (whiffs of its debut, See Mystery Lights), Los Angeles (smells like its latest, Shangri-La), and Portland, Ore. (let's namecheck LCD Soundsystem and Holy Ghost! for fun), this geographically diverse collective of artsy-fartsy smarty-pants is sure at home with its Akai MPK25 Minis. "Young Americans Challenging High Technology," indeed.
From Michael Toland, The Austin Chronicle:
Jail Guitar Doors' mission is both simple (donating musical instruments to prisoners) and complex (hoping those instruments will help in those prisoners' rehabilitation). The South by Southwest edition begins with Magic Wands, an androgynous, slinky Nashville, Tenn., duo whose sexy psychedelia finds the sweet spot between the Raveonettes and Tom Tom Club. Power trio Beware of Darkness hail from Los Angeles and have been likened to a cross between Led Zeppelin and David Bowie's Hunky Dory with a literary bent. North Carolina's Flagship revolves around the dramatic keen of Drake Margolnick, who leads his band to howl, seethe, or soothe. Local garage-rock ensemble and veteran JGD supporters English Teeth is joined here by Ryan Bingham bassist-turned-singer Elijah Ford and underrated Americana rebel Otis Gibbs. Wayne Kramer, JGD co-founder and rock & roll legend, never fails to kick out the jams, motherfucker, and never more so than in support of a righteous cause. Taking a break from the Rage Against the Machine reunion, Tom Morello, aka the Nightwatchman, brings his postmodern protest songs to the headline slot.
From Chase Hoffberger, The Austin Chronicle:
The Queens virtuoso is a charter member of the "New York City gritty committee pity the fool that act shitty in the midst of the calm, the witty."

From Chase Hoffberger, The Austin Chronicle:
Former members of Gogol Bordello and clever rapper Tomer Yosef combine gypsy music, dancehall, and hip-hop to spark the wildest party south of the Gaza Strip.
From Dan Oko, The Austin Chronicle:
Tying into Saturday's 2pm panel at the Austin Convention Center, Bass Culture offers acknowledgment of generations of rebellious Britons having saluted the red, gold, and green. As Third Wave reggae has blown up internationally, its offshoots – dubstep, grime, jungle, et al. – have also emerged a dominant force in mainstream English culture. Supported by Arts Council England, up-and-comers and legends start with rootsy Rasites, playing originals to make Steel Pulse proud. On the strength of his soulful, genre-bending 2008 reggae reboot Man Like I (Atlantic) silky-voiced Natty, son of a South African mother and Anglo-Italian father, has toured with Adele and Ziggy Marley. The showcase will not be all rebel stances and smoking spliffs, though the latter couldn't hurt when it comes to Little Roy. In 1965, Roy first sang at Studio One in Kingston. Forty-seven years later, his still-strong pipes lend voice to Nirvana cover album Battle for Seattle (Ark Recordings). Mixtape MC Lady Leshurr, sometimes called the female Busta Rhymes, spits like the Streets and arrives to break up the pickle party. DJ Kenny Ken is also of the moment.

From Jim Caligiuri, The Austin Chronicle:
The little woman with the big voice, Akina Adderley is the grandniece of jazz legend Julian "Cannonball" Adderley and granddaughter of trumpeter Nat Adderley. With her horn-propelled local octet, Adderley delivers old-school R&B with uncommon panache, separating them from the recent soul revival. The group has just finished recording and is set to deliver its second collection of scream and shout this spring
From Adam Schragin, The Austin Chronicle:
This San Francisco project is part of a growing wave of American black metal that eschews corpse paint but holds tight to the unrelenting rhythm and discord of its Norwegian forefathers.
From Doug Freeman, The Austin Chronicle:
Sprawling live shows and dance-floor anthems unleashed by Escort have placed the Brooklyn-based crew at the head of the nu-disco revival, yet the genre label hardly captures its wild catharsis of fusion. Pulsing behind the beats of producers Eugene Cho and Dan Balis and lifted by the striking vocals of frontwoman Adeline Michèle, Escort's eponymous LP finally debuted last year, culling its already popular, remix-ransacked singles from the past five years.
From Dan Oko, The Austin Chronicle:
He can base his outfit in California, plug in his guitar, and rock – really rock – the festival circuit, but when Willie Nelson's son Lukas opens his mouth, that reedy voice makes it hard to forget about dear old dad. Lukas, like his half-sister Paula Nelson, also a musician, is embracing the family DNA, sealing the deal with a bluesy cover of pop's "Peaceful Solution" on his Promise of the Real download, recorded outside of Austin, naturally.
From Austin Powell, The Austin Chronicle:
Led by local ringer Mike Harmeier, the Moonpies serve up indie outlaw country and heartache by the bottle. So much so, in fact, the band has its own drink special in town: a shot of well whiskey and a PBR. On the boot heels of Daytrotter's annual Barnstormer tour, the Moonpies released a new live four-song EP that proves its hard country goes down as well on the bar stool as on the dance floor.
From Zoe Cordes Selbin, The Austin Chronicle:
Extremely grand and heartbreaking indie rock is played by a small but classically trained orchestra on 2011 debut Alhambra.
From Michael Bertin, The Austin Chronicle:
Malin Dahlström fronting her electro pop duo.
From Adam Schragin, The Austin Chronicle:
For more than a decade, Tia Carrera has walked the line between outright mayhem and sprawling psychedelic jams found on last year's second disc for metallic Detroit indie Small Stone, Cosmic Priestess.
From Michael Bertin, The Austin Chronicle:
Roky Erickson meets Royal Trux but with a Blue Cheerfulness about it. The Montreal-based trio's self-titled debut on Infinity Cat finds it in full garage-shaking glory, but to call it lo-fi would be flattering.
From Kevin Curtin, The Austin Chronicle:
The term "weird" is thrown around Austin a lot but not often enough regarding freaky Japanese music. If bizarre extravagance is your thing, we suggest Vampillia, a band that's stranger than its name is awkward. Imagine a dense swell of an orchestral twister that explodes into chaos, including a gimpy guy in bad Kiss makeup screaming like he's on fire.
From Doug Freeman, The Austin Chronicle:
Barefoot and bare-armed, Whiskey Shivers' Bobby Fitzergerald is a howling, hell-bent, whiskey-soaked Texas hillbilly leading a rabid pack of string players. Whittling the fine-tuned talent of Old Crow Medicine Show with an unhinged flash of trucker speed, the young Austin quintet debuted with last year's Batholith, but it's the raucous and rowdy live set that makes it one of Austin's top new outfits.
From Chase Hoffberger, The Austin Chronicle:
A Memphis, Tenn., rap pioneer with Three 6 Mafia, loose-jowled Juicy J drank from the Styrofoam cup of youth when he teamed with Lex Luger on last year's Rubba Band Business 2 mixtape.

From Thomas Fawcett, The Austin Chronicle:
Mutant love child of Ol' Dirty Bastard and Black Flag-era Henry Rollins, B L A C K I E will make your ears bleed with a barrage of industrial hip-hop and noise-rock turned up to 11. It's hard to know exactly what to expect from the Houston native, but shocking intensity and deafening volume is a safe bet.
From Thomas Fawcett, The Austin Chronicle:
Building off a Left Coast legacy from Freestyle Fellowship to Pharcyde, the Quannum crew breathed life into Bay Area hip-hop previous to the new millennium with relentless creativity. Backpacker anthems "A to G" and "Alphabetic Aerobics" proved Blackalicious MC Gift of Gab one of the all-time great verbal acrobats, while Lyrics Born and Lateef the Truthspeaker pushed the sonic boundaries of hip-hop as Latyrx. Although not on the same label, Chali 2na, whose bouncing baritone anchored Jurassic 5 harmonies, embodied a similar ethos. The crew reunites on this night with help from West Coast vets Eligh & Amp Live, formerly of Living Legends and Zion I, respectively, who recently teamed up for Therapy at 3. (Shockingly accurately) self-described "half-retarded super electro-charged sex rap" of Colorado's Cobraconda opens, while Minnesota (the DJ, not the state) offers an interlude of throbbing dubstep and glitch-hop.
From Thomas Fawcett, The Austin Chronicle:
East and West usually come to mind when you think of hip-hop coasts, but it's a different story Down Under. The "Coastal Kids" video from Bliss N Eso looks like B-roll from the X Games water sports. Fans of Atmosphere will dig these Aussies.

From the Austin Chronicle:
"Don't say multicultural," Russell Simmons once told journalist Dan Charnas. "Say multiracial. It's one culture."
Simmons is partially responsible for the latter point being more true today than it's ever been. As the founder of pioneering hip-hop label Def Jam Recordings, he played an integral role in black music crossing over into mainstream culture. Think the Beastie Boys, Run-DMC remixing Aerosmith's "Walk This Way," or LL Cool J's premiere on MTV.
Dan Charnas reported on all of it for The Source, the first major-market magazine to exclusively cover hip-hop. Last year, he published the mind-bendingly detailed The Big Payback: The History of the Business of Hip-Hop, a 672-page analysis of every rap deal that made America the colorful society it is today. He knows a thing or two about the power of the crossover.
"When I talk about crossover, I'm not talking about mixing it up, which is what guys like Nelly and Snoop did," he says, referring to Nelly's 2006 collaboration with country hit-factory Tim McGraw and Snoop Dogg's 2008 blues choker "My Medicine." "I'm talking about a system of white supremacy whereby a black artist, in order to get any mainstream exposure, has to change their musical style or whiten up their music. Nelly was already a pop star when he made that song. Snoop was huge before he made 'My Medicine.'"
Charnas references Michael Jackson putting Eddie Van Halen on "Beat It" and Lionel Richie's "Deep River Woman" collaboration with Alabama as prime examples of pointed crossover, moments when a black artist made the conscious decision to fall in with a white market. When Barack Obama was elected president, Charnas knew the end of music's racial divide was at hand.
"Obama represents the beginning of what you might call the final conflict against white supremacy," he says. "There's no question in my mind that the 21st century, for black artists, is a much more equitable playing field than it ever was in the Seventies and Eighties."
If there’s one thing we took away from our CMJ day party last fall, it was an appetite to throw even bigger and better parties. For South by Southwest, we’re pulling out all the stops. In partnership once again with our upstairs neighbors The UMS and Denver talent purveyors The Vinefield Agency, I’m proud to introduce the lineup for what I think is our best party to date.

Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters follows the acclaimed photographer’s decade-long quest to create a series of haunting, surreal, and stunningly elaborate portraits of small-town American life. His photographs are like single-frame movies — partly because each composition brims with narrative, partly because he uses cinematic tools such as special effects, hundreds of lights, and huge crews of technicians. As we travel with him — from first inspirations, through countless creative and logistical obstacles, to the instant where all the elements coalesce in a single perfect moment — we realize that, despite their vast scale, Crewdson’s images grow from his most intimate dreams and fantasies.
The Austin Chronicle recommends this event in "Art as Acts of Subversion and Immersion: 'The Sheik and I,' 'Trash Dance,' and 'Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters'." Read the full feature here.
