SXSW 2016 – Saturday Recap

Posted on by Kristen

Well, I’m tired and my face is as red as a lobster, but I still can’t help but smile at all the music I was able to see today. We started out with a series of interviews for High Voltage. I chatted with new band love Judah & The Lion and SXSW 2013 faves, The Virginmarys. It’s always a treat to get to know a band outside the hectic and noisy club.

After interviews we took a free car (thank you Mazda!) across town to Whole Foods. The Quantum Collective party, I must reiterate, booked some stellar acts. Today we caught Green River Ordinance, Great Caesar, and The Arkells – there was plenty of dancing. I unfortunately missed Wild Feathers, but that was in order to bounce across the street to the Waterloo day party to see Kaleo. My how this band has grown since I saw them last summer at Make Music Pasadena! Kaleo melts the heart and stirs the soul. The play both gorgeous falsetto heavy ballads and down and dirty rockers. It’s the dichotomy that really fascinates, but it totally works!

P1020877   P1020897 (3)

 

My evening’s schedule presented itself with quite a few tough choices so I made the decision to walk 20+ minutes from Whole Foods down to Shady Grove to see a late afternoon set from The Virginmarys. Amanda was such a trooper and came with me and we met up with a couple of friends to witness what had to have been the hardest rocking set ever at the outdoor burger joint. Sticks went flying as the UK band busted out a few new tunes from their forthcoming album, Divides, as well as some old favorites (sing: “hey girl, lay off my dead man’s shoes”). Afterwards, the band was gracious enough to give us a ride back downtown. My take-away from that adventures is that I’m very glad I’m not driving through Austin during SXSW.

P1020966

After picking up some free food at the South Bites area (chips and guac, spicy pulled pork mac n cheese), I ventured to the church for what was my most anticipated set of the week – Judy Collins + Ari Hest. They opened with their duet of Ari’s “Strangers Again” which just filled me with such joy and nostalgia, it brought tears to my eyes. They have an album coming out and played many newer songs, but busted out a few of the oldies that Judy is known for.

P1020983

More difficult decisions lead to an evening of sampling. And while no band quite reached the “Graham Bar” for new discoveries, I do have plenty of additions to my must see list. The most fun was probably had during Mainland’s set at The Sidewinder where dancing was an absolute must. From there we ran up the road to catch Drowners, but left after a couple songs (the place was packed) to make it to the McDonald house to see The Score and have an ice cream sundae. While walking up to the venue, the band starting playing the song I wanted to hear (“Oh My Love”) which I took as a sign that I was in the right place.  Due to some set time switches we wandered aimlessly for a bit before settling in at Ester’s Follies where we caught a promising new act from Los Angeles called Runaway Saints. The night (and the week) then ended with one of my recently discovered new favorites, Dreamers.

P1020990  P1030005

 

And that was all she wrote, folks. Another SXSW down. Tomorrow we’ll catch a few more bands to ease out of the madness, wait it out at our favorite cafe for some Mad Mud, and see what else Austin has for us after the masses depart.

Thanks for reading!

SXSW 2016 Friday Recap

Posted on by Kristen

Happy Birthday to me! Since I’d like to gift myself an extra hour of sleep, we’re going to keep this brief with a simple list of my day’s highlights:

  • BMI Brunch – always the primo spot for food, networking, and music, this year brought eating with Jay Nash and Drawing North, sets from Tor Miller and Shawn Hook (among others) and of course running into…well just about everybody.

P1020671

  • The Quantum Party on the Whole Foods rooftop – after a failed attempt to get into the Key Bar, we eased on down the road to Whole Foods where I drank Mama Chia (win!), discovered a fantastic new LA band, The Heirs, and chatted with Gingger Shankar.

P1020674

 

  • 30 seconds of Blue October – because walking past the maxed out venue and only getting to see/hear a snippet of a song is better than no Blue October at all (and probably one of the best musical moments of my week).

P1020684 (2)

  • Bday Chai – Starbucks gifted me a free drink so I took it! The largest most delicious chai was the perfect pick-me up to get me though the day. It even came with a golden ladybug type creature which I will take to be extra special luck.

P1020706

  • Aussie BBQ – the two stages packed in tons of great Aussie acts. I was able to catch Tigertown and Drawing North before the impending storm put a pause on any outdoor music venues.

P1020759 (2)

  • Compelling singer-songwriters – I spent all night at a church or the ASCAP showcase sampling singer-songwriters and none of them disappointed: Matt Woods, James TW, Billie Marten, Jay Nash, Jake Bugg, Jake McMullen, and a surprise special set from Lapsley (the perfect way to end a wonderful day of music).

P1020831  P1020834 (2)  P1020840  

P1020876

Can’t believe tomorrow is the last official day of SXSW!

SXSW 2016 Tuesday Recap

Posted on by Kristen

Firstly, I simply MUST point out how amazing Monday was. To enter Austin at SXSW time is like entertaining a magical land full of surprises where people are happy (albeit tired), food is free, and music is around every corner. Also, SXSW Interactive knows what’s up! I played skee ball, rode a Ferris wheel, took a nap in a pod, collected several cell phone card holders (my #1 swag goal), and had not one but two excellent and very free meals. Frank’s hot dogs for the win!

P1640403

The day ended at my favorite SXSW venue, The British Embassy. It was like coming home. I melted a bit listening to Ciaran Lavery and grooved with The Crookes before passing out happy with dreams of the coming week.

Ciaran Lavery

Today we eased into what is officially SXSW music week. Here are my 3 biggest take-aways

1 – It now seems acceptable to don sleep wear to perform onstage. Lukas Graham and Declan McKenna both rocked the white tees and comfy shorts while all girl rock band, Hinds looked ready for bed in over-size t-shirts and what I would term sleep shorts. Bonus points go to the young McKenna for also sporting mismatched socks AND shoes…

Declan McKenna

2 – Sweet potato tots are a thing and they are delicious

3 – Lukas Graham is in very strong contention for best band of SXSW 2016.  I started off the day with Lukas Graham at The Spotify House and the Danes exceeded my already high expectations setting the bar very high for the week to come. Lukas’ vocal, endearing personality and surprising range of songs (think James Bay meets twenty one pilots w/ a dash of charming irreverence) all meld for a memorable performance that will be hard to beat.

P1010958     P1020244

Coming very close to the “Graham Bar” were The People The Poet who wowed with an acoustic set in the Convention Center and simply must be seen again in full band mode and Ben Hazlewood, a young and engaging pop artist from Australia.

The People The Poet

I also quite enjoyed French rockers, Talisco, the aforementioned Declan McKenna (that “Brazil” song!), the always entertaining Soft White Sixties, and The McDonald’s Loft who scored a big win with their sundae bar and primo entertainment (I was able to catch Jared & The Mill and Bel Heir).

Jared and The Mill  Bel Heir

4 – Jack Garratt is a musical genius and must be seen as often as possible. He is even worth staying out until 1am.

P1020223  P1020211 (2)

Stay tuned for more tomorrow…

Kristen’s Top 10 Acts to See at SXSW 2016

Posted on by Kristen

It’s that time again! Monday AM, Amanda and I are headed to Austin to enjoy what will inevitably be my favorite week of the year at SXSW. My goal, as always, is to discover great new bands that I can see again when they come to LA (and of course share with you!). I’ve gotten a decent head start by listening to and ranking all of the announced official artists. I also have done a fair amount of pre-scouting this year so I know who to really prioritize when faced with 50 different band options every hour.  Whether you’ll be joining us in Texas or just want to know what I’m digging this year, here are my top picks for SXSW 2016:

 

  1. Wild Wild Horses

    I heard this British band’s single, “Demon Days (Do It All Again)” and they were instantly granted a place on my list and after seeing them during their Echoplex residency, they jumped straight to the top! One of those rare bands where every single song hits you at your very core.

Watch the entire video…it’s worth it

See them: Thursday 8:30 at Javelina (69 Rainey St)

 

  1. Lukas Graham

This year’s “James Bay” has all the appeal and on the strength of single, “7 Years” gets top marks and the can’t miss distinction.

See them: Tuesday at noon at The Spotify House Main Stage

 

  1. Judy Collins and Ari Hest

I grew up listening to Judy Collins and as a long time Ari Hest fan, this duo, in my estimation, bears the potential to create one of the most magical experiences of SXSW. They have one show announced and you bet it’s highlighted and double starred on my schedule.

See them: Saturday 9pm at Central Presbyterian Church (200 E 8th St)

 

  1. AudioDamn!

Germany’s AudioDamn! play fun and catchy rock songs that are aimed to entertain. I had the pleasure of seeing them a few months ago and their talents extend beyond their 4 song self-titled EP.

See them: Wednesday 1:30 at Volcan Gas Company (418 E 6th St)

 

  1. Tor Miller

Of all the songs on my SXSW mix, it’s Tor Miller’s “Carter & Cash” that gets stuck in my head and won’t let go. I feel like seeing him live will be the perfect antidote to my ear worm problem…or at the very least will have me dancing.

See him: Wednesday 9pm at Blackheart (86 Rainey St)

 

  1. Ninet  – Ninet is an Israli superstar for a reason. I saw her last week and the woman knows how to rock!
    See her: Saturday 10pm at Scoot Inn (1308 E 4th St)
  1. Barns Courtney – undeniable voice. Just listen to “Glitter and Gold”
    See him: Saturday 11pm at Latitude 30 (512 San Jacinto)
  1. DNCE  – making crazy fun pop songs one “Cake By The Ocean” at a time
    See them: Thursday 3pm at Waterloo Records (600 N Lamar)
  1. The Virginmarys – UK faves returning to SXSW in front of a new rocking album
    See them: Saturday 5pm at Shady Grove (1624 Barton Springs Rd)
  1. Rooney – I watched The OC along with everybody else…
    See them: Soho Lounge Wednesday 1am (217 E 6th St)
