It is an unofficial showcase so no badges or wristbands are necessary, just a desire to eat some good ole homemade food, and see some cooking music. We at Music Fog put the four day schedule together, and our video cameras will be rolling as we gather content for www.musicfog.com. Most times we do our thing behind closed doors, but this gig, we invite you to come and hang in the room for our taping. The Music Fog Motto, after all, is "How Hard Could It Be&.." and the answer, at least when we come to Threadgills is, "Pretty Damn Easy!" What with onsite parking, air conditioning, any drink of any color that you might want, Southern home-style fare with loads of vegetables, and the ever important indoor plumbing with those fancy new 'no hands towel machines. I don't know, they just intrigue me! And really, why would you even think of going anywhere else?

Erland & The Carnival
38 schedule::attendees
Location Dot Com Day Stage Austin Convention Center
eventtype  Music
event::about  A Brief History Erland is Erland Cooper, guitarist, singer and former resident of remote Orkney. The Carnival are guitarist Simon Tong (The Verve, Gorillaz, The Good, The Bad, The Queen) and drummer David Nock (Paul McCartney’s The Fireman). Together, as Erland & The Carnival, they make a pastoral, psychedelic sound described by Tong as “Pentangle meets Ennio Morricone meets Love meets 13th Floor Elevators meets Joe Meek.” In other words: folk-tinged, psyched up, fuzzed-out brilliance. Erland grew up on the remote Orkney Islands of Scotland, where passing musicians and troubadours were a common sight. In his early teens, The Verve and Bert Jansch inspired him to swap the fiddle for the guitar. Later, having moved to London, Erland sang at Tong’s What The Folk club night on Portobello Road, where the producer Youth introduced him to the former Verve member. “It wasn’t a regular folk night where people are quiet and stroke their chin,” says Tong. “It was a more raucous affair where the acts – as many as 15 a night – had to quieten a noisy baying audience by being good. Erland definitely got people to shut up and listen.” Resolving to form a band, Nock, Tong and Cooper took their name from Jackson C Frank’s My Name Is Carnival, a cover of which appears on the EP. The band’s progression since has been fairly unorthodox: they’ve played gigs at miniature railway stations and their debut EP was individually re-recorded for each of its limited run, meaning no two copies are the same. All the while, they’ve been developing that bewitching sound. “The Carnival sound developed dramatically over a year of playing and demo-ing,” says Tong. “Originally we were more acoustic but gradually have got darker and more electric and psychedelic. There is a 1930’s book called The Circus of Dr Lao where a wild, fantastical travelling circus comes to a fictional small American mid west town causing social chaos and upsetting the usual way of life of the towns inhabitants, then eventually it leaves and moves on with the town in tatters. I see that as a good metaphor for us as a band to aim for.”

Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone
15 schedule::attendees
Location Carver Museum Boyd Vance Theater
eventtype  Music
event::about  "Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone" directed by Lev Anderson and Chris Metzler narrated by Laurence Fishburne featuring interviews with Fishbone, Flea, Ice-T, Gwen Stefani, Perry Farrell, Bob Forrest, Branford Marsalis, Gogol Bordello, and George Clinton. website: http://www.fishbonedocumentary.com Synopsis: EVERYDAY SUNSHINE is a documentary about the band Fishbone, musical pioneers who have been rocking on the margins of pop culture for the past 25 years. From the streets of South Central-Los Angeles and the competitive Hollywood music scene of the 1980's, the band rose to prominence, only to fall apart when on the verge of "making it." Laurence Fishburne narrates EVERYDAY SUNSHINE, an entertaining cinematic journey into the personal lives of this unique Black rock band, an untold story of fiercely individual artists in their quest to reclaim their musical legacy while debunking the myths of young Black men from urban America. Highlighting the parallel journeys of a band and their city, EVERYDAY SUNSHINE explores the personal and cultural forces that gave rise to California's legendary Black punk sons that continue to defy categories and expectations. At the heart of Fishbone's story is lead singer Angelo Moore and bassist Norwood Fisher who show how they keep the band rolling, out of pride, desperation and love for their art. To overcome money woes, family strife, and the strain of being aging Punk rockers on the road, Norwood and Angelo are challenged to re-invent themselves in the face of dysfunction and ghosts from a painful past.

Our day parties will feature performances from the likes of Datarock, The Submarines, Hieroglyphics, Matt Nathanson,The Rural Alberta Advantage, The Boxer Rebellion, and many many many more (see the list below).

The shows are happening at The Phoenix (409 B. Colorado St.) from 12 to 7 PM, Tuesday 3/15 through Friday, 3/18. Each day will feature a variety of great bands, including a party for all you Interactive folks on Tuesday, and a day entirely devoted to the best hip-hop Austin has to offer on Wednesday.

event::about 

Fourteen years ago, when South By Southwest was not yet the music industry juggernaut it is today, Schubas decided to showcase some of the best Chicago bands making the 1,170-mile trek to Austin, TX. Thursday was deemed the perfect day to welcome all SXSW attendees. Good music, along with BBQ, beer and booze seemed the most appropriate formula, thus an annual event- and one ofSXSW’s first daytime parties- was born.

Since 1996, as beer-drenched-SXSW-day-parties became customary, Schubas’ national prominence has evolved and so has our annual SXSW Round-Up. The party still features Chicago bands, but also includes a large array of popular acts from throughout the world, who have played, or will be playing, Lincoln Hall or Schubas. The BBQ, beer and booze remain firmly intact.

The Belle Brigade
43 schedule::attendees
Location Radio Day Stage Austin Convention Center
eventtype  Music
event::about  Like many siblings, Barbara and Ethan Gruska had their ups and downs over their years growing up together in Los Angeles. “Oh, we hated each other as kids,” Barbara says with a laugh. “And by hate, I mean ‘love dearly,’ but we could never get along. We started to become friends for the first time when Ethan was 15 and I was 21. Then we became best friends and four years later we started writing songs together and formed The Belle Brigade.” Listening to The Belle Brigade’s self-titled debut album, you could never tell that these two were ever not in perfect sync. The Gruska’s familial chemistry, not to mention their obvious songwriting gifts, have resulted in one of the most thrilling debut albums you’re going to hear all year. Inspired by the duo’s love for Fleetwood Mac, Simon & Garfunkel, The Beatles, and Stevie Wonder, their artfully arranged, freewheeling songs brim with breezy, California melodies and bracing pop harmonies, fueled by the driving rhythms Barbara plays on drums. As performed by Ethan and Barbara and their talented group of backing musicians, Bram Inscore (bass), Blake Mills, (electric guitar), Aaron Arntz (piano), and Jimi Hendrix/Joe Cocker keyboardist Mike Finnigan (Hammond B-3 organ), songs like “Sweet Louise,” “Where Not To Look For Freedom,” “Lucky Guy,” and “Lonely Lonely,” are tailor-made for road-tripping up the coast with the car top down, sunshine on your face, and the music blasting into the roar of the wind. “We didn’t want to make something small and precious,” Barbara says. “We wanted to make something big and exhilarating. Recording this album was an incredible lesson at walking the line between holding on and letting go. Every note is intentional, but we gave up the reigns to let the music go freely where it wanted to go. We wanted to make a record that was personal and aching, but still uplifting, relatable, and fun to listen to.” Barbara and Ethan credit their co-producer Matthew Wilder (No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom) — a family friend who offered his services after hearing a few of their songs — with helping them to keep open minds. “He created an environment where it was safe to try anything,” Ethan says. Adds Barbara: “If you had told us that we’d be using our screaming voices, have a 30-piece orchestra on a song, or use reverse guitar-looping effects, we wouldn’t have believed you. With Matthew and our engineer Csaba Petocz’s help, we let go of our inhibitions and fear of being uncool or too exposed.” The liberated mood of the music dovetails beautifully with the duo’s thoughtful, emotionally resonant lyrics. “A lot of this album has to do with the struggle to let go of our fear of being judged and our judgments of others in order to find powerful connections,” Barbara says. The thematic centerpiece is “Losers,” on which Ethan and Barbara sing in perfect harmonic unison: “Don’t care about being a winner / or being smooth with women / or goin’ out on Friday / Being the life of parties… Or if I am a loser” and declaring “So I wanna make it known / that I don’t care about any of that shit no more.” “The song is about being insecure and jealous and letting go of all the terrible things you can feel about yourself and realizing that life is not a game,” Ethan says. “It’s not a competition. It’s kind of a pep talk to ourselves to remember that.” Other songs reflect on disillusionment (“Belt of Orion,” “Punch Line”), yearning (“Rusted Wheel”), and awkward romance (“Sweet Louise”). Then there’s “Lucky Guy,” a song about how fortunate we are to be alive. After the duo sing “But now everything’s all right / Even though I think about dying,” they complete the phrase in harmony with a Beatle-esque “Ooh!” — which distills, in the simplest way, the happy-sad paradox within their music. “That balance between happy and sad was intentional,” Barbara says. “When I was Ethan’s age, I wrote a really sad song and played it for my dad. He said, ‘I dare you to write a happy song. It’s so much harder to write a happy song,’ and he was right. That really stuck with me. I love the combination of sad lyrics with happy music and vice versa. Too much of one thing feels like going overboard.” It was just one lesson that Barbara would get from her father. Jay Gruska is a songwriter and composer who released two albums of his own on Warner Bros. Records in the early ’80s and wrote a number of hit songs for other artists (including Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and Dusty Springfield), as well as hours of music for films and television. His studio, in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley, was in the family’s backyard so musicians were constantly coming and going. “My dad was like my songwriting coach, but he was never overbearing,” says Ethan. “He’s always the person we test our new songs out on,” Barbara says. “If he cracks a smile it’s a keeper. If he doesn’t, it’s usually back to the drawing board.” Barbara and Ethan’s maternal grandfather is Oscar- and Grammy-winning film composer John Williams (Star Wars, Jaws, E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark), someone they both cite as a huge musical influence. Not surprisingly, both Barbara and Ethan began playing music at a young age. Ethan has been singing since he can remember. He took a few piano lessons as a kid, but really began playing piano and writing songs in earnest at the age of 14. He studied classical composition for a year at Cal Arts in Valencia, CA, but “I never really felt that fire with it like I did when I write a little, stripped-down pop song,” he says. As for Barbara, when she was nine, she fashioned a drum set out of random objects in her room (“I hung a pan lid on my pull-up bar to use as a cymbal,” she says) and played that until her uncle gave her her first drum kit. Barbara studied jazz drumming at both Oberlin College and Cal Arts before dropping out to hit the road with The Bird and The Bee’s Inara George, followed by tours with Benji Hughes and Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis. The musicians mentioned above who play on The Belle Brigade album are all friends of Barbara’s from the Los Angeles music scene. “There’s a really high level of musicianship and creativity coming from all the guys on this album,” Barbara says. “They are all our close friends and it was an incredibly rewarding experience to be surrounded by these amazing musicians. I like to hear other people in the music. That's what the album is about; it was such a group effort. It’s just more fun to make things with other people. Hopefully what comes across is that we work hard and love what we do and are grateful for the opportunity to actually be artists.” Warner Bros Records ###

It is Year 4, as once again Music Fog takes the stage in the Saloon Room at Threadgill's WHQ(AKA&. the back room, on the stage against the ruby velvet curtains,) 301 W. Riverside, in South Austin TX. It is an unofficial showcase so no badges or wristbands are necessary, just a desire to eat some good ole homemade food, and see some cooking music. We at Music Fog put the four day schedule together, and our video cameras will be rolling as we gather content for www.musicfog.com. Most times we do our thing behind closed doors, but this gig, we invite you to come and hang in the room for our taping. The Music Fog Motto, after all, is "How Hard Could It Be&.." and the answer, at least when we come to Threadgills is, "Pretty Damn Easy!" What with onsite parking, air conditioning, any drink of any color that you might want, Southern home-style fare with loads of vegetables, and the ever important indoor plumbing with those fancy new 'no hands towel machines. I don't know, they just intrigue me! And really, why would you even think of going anywhere else?

event::about  The lifestyle of the musician can be grueling, especially in times like these. With so much competition for the consumers attention, you must work harder than ever, which means touring, touring and more touring. Poor eating, excessive consumption of alcohol, lack of sleep and exercise is a combination that is not sustainable for long. How can you incorporate healthy habits: meal plans that are realistic, exercises you can manage, and modification of the bad habits that become all too common for people who spend a lot of time in bars. Natural remedies are easily available that can help you stay healthy on tour.

event::about 

It is Year 4, as once again Music Fog takes the stage in the Saloon Room at Threadgill's WHQ(AKA&. the back room, on the stage against the ruby velvet curtains,) 301 W. Riverside, in South Austin TX. It is an unofficial showcase so no badges or wristbands are necessary, just a desire to eat some good ole homemade food, and see some cooking music. We at Music Fog put the four day schedule together, and our video cameras will be rolling as we gather content for www.musicfog.com. Most times we do our thing behind closed doors, but this gig, we invite you to come and hang in the room for our taping. The Music Fog Motto, after all, is "How Hard Could It Be&.." and the answer, at least when we come to Threadgills is, "Pretty Damn Easy!" What with onsite parking, air conditioning, any drink of any color that you might want, Southern home-style fare with loads of vegetables, and the ever important indoor plumbing with those fancy new 'no hands towel machines. I don't know, they just intrigue me! And really, why would you even think of going anywhere else?

Artists  Still Corners
event::about  Listening to Still Corners' music, you could be forgiven for imagining them as quiet, serious types. Their songs are eerie and tremulous, like echoing caverns of sound, and yet also delicately precious, a combination that demands conscientious craftsmanship. Live, their music "rocks more", as one of the band puts it, and, coupled with the video projections, consistently casts spells on audiences. On stage, though, the band remain fairly static - focused, it seems, on the task at hand. Far from the outlook of introspective dullards, though, The Quietus find the three members of the five-piece we speak to - vocalist Tessa Murray, guitarist Leon Dufficy and principal songwriter Greg Hughes - to be warmly open, brimming with humour and playfulness. There's a remarkable, almost telepathic bond between them – a bond that they're willing to let you in on, like an old friend. In the last few months, Still Corners have put out two singles, 'Endless Summer' and 'Don't Fall In Love', as well as recently releasing a cover of 'Eyes' by Rogue Wave, all of which has begun to earn them some much-deserved attention. The band are due to make their US debut in March, including a headline show at Glasslands in Brooklyn, the SXSW festival, and a US tour with band The Papercuts. Taken from the Quietus - 2010

event::about 

It is Year 4, as once again Music Fog takes the stage in the Saloon Room at Threadgill's WHQ(AKA&. the back room, on the stage against the ruby velvet curtains,) 301 W. Riverside, in South Austin TX. It is an unofficial showcase so no badges or wristbands are necessary, just a desire to eat some good ole homemade food, and see some cooking music. We at Music Fog put the four day schedule together, and our video cameras will be rolling as we gather content for www.musicfog.com. Most times we do our thing behind closed doors, but this gig, we invite you to come and hang in the room for our taping. The Music Fog Motto, after all, is "How Hard Could It Be&.." and the answer, at least when we come to Threadgills is, "Pretty Damn Easy!" What with onsite parking, air conditioning, any drink of any color that you might want, Southern home-style fare with loads of vegetables, and the ever important indoor plumbing with those fancy new 'no hands towel machines. I don't know, they just intrigue me! And really, why would you even think of going anywhere else?

- Mary-Louise Parker in Esquire Josh Ritter is from Moscow, Idaho. The son of two neuroscientists, he was on his way to follow in their footsteps when he discovered Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan's "Girl from the North Country" in high school. He has since released five studio albums and has been recently named one of the 100 greatest living songwriters by Paste Magazine, alongside Dylan, Springsteen, and Neil Young. Joan Baez has covered one of his songs; Stephen King named one of Ritter's albums the best of recent years and David Letterman has requested him twice, so far. His new album, So Runs the World Away, is ambitious and literary. It was released on May 4th, 2010 by Pytheas Recordings, a label recently started by Ritter and his longtime publicity partner, Sacks & Co., with Redeye Distribution. His first novel, "Bright's Passage," will be published by Random House / Dial Press on June 28th, 2011.

Harrys Gym
4 schedule::attendees
Location Dot Com Day Stage Austin Convention Center
eventtype  Music
Artists  Harrys Gym
event::about  Critically acclaimed Norwegian four-piece Harrys Gym release their second album What Was Ours Can’t Be Yours on new Oslo based label Splendour in the UK and mainland Europe this February. Blending beguiling pop with ethereal sounds, they create epic, glacial and distinctly Nordic soundscapes guided by vocalist/songwriter Anne Lise Frøkedal’s hauntingly beautiful vocals. On the back of their self-titled debut album (which was released in May 2010 on Norwegian label Hype City) the band earned a “New Band Of The Day” feature in Guardian and heaped praise from the likes of Drowned in Sound, Uncut and Music Week amongst others. It also saw Harrys Gym subsequently sign to major label Universal in Norway for their follow up – quite an achievement for a “difficult” pop band. Harrys Gym toured the album in the UK, including a performance at the tastemaker festival Standon Calling, where Clash wrote this review: "Harrys Gym… possess an elegance that betrays their… name and conjures the kind of hypnotic, billowing, electro-rock, it seems only Scandinavians can". In addition Harrys Gym managed to captivate audiences at festivals such as Øya, Roskilde, Eurosonic, Great Escape, Iceland Airwaves and Culture Collide in Los Angeles. For their follow-up, they chose to work with up-and-coming British producer James Rutledge. Rutledge and Anne Lise Frøkedal bonded at once over the phone from Oslo to London, where they discussed Vashti Bunyan, folk music and the crossover between programming and running naked in the forest. Not to mention a shared fondness for salty licorice. Rutledge sent a Spotify playlist to the band to give an idea of where he thought the music was heading. This included names such as Brian Eno, Atlas Sound and MGMT, which was enough to convince Frøkedal and the other members that they definitely should book him a ticket to snowy Oslo to begin recording. Together they spent hours sending ideas back and forth from Oslo to London. Then James headed over to Harrys Gym´s own studio where they laid down the majority of the tracks before going to London to mix the material in the psychedelic atmosphere of Strongroom Studios, where the mixes were put down by Jimmy Robertson (Big Pink, Florence & The Machine, Klaxons). Frøkedal said this about the recording process: “It was nice and refreshing to have so many ideas in the room all of the time and to have James somewhat become a fifth member of the band”. Following the album’s release in February 2011, Harrys Gym plan a European tour in the spring. “We really don't have enough music that sounds like blowing dandelions into the wind or flying a kite on an empty beach.” – RCRD LBL "Dreamy, multi layered stuff with an experimental bent but one that never gets in the way of its over-arching pop sensibilities". - Music Week "An iconic debut for such a widely unrecognised band as yet." - Flux "Their hypnotic and haunting tunes have a virtually unique ability to be uplifting, eerie and unforgiving all at once" - Bearded "Harrys Gym offer dreamlike Indie Pop" - Uncut "The singer’s acerbic vocals are angled somewhere between Garbage and The Knife and cut through the evening’s more moderate successes like the icy wind outside the venue. Massive promise." - Clash "a bruising, sonic squall of an affair’ and that ‘dramatic dark pop is the order of the day, equal parts delicate and muscular." - Drowned In Sound

Pete Meaden, The Who's first manager, once described mod as "clean living under difficult circumstances". Assess the ongoing influence of the world's most enduring youth cult.

He's also a partner in the wealth management firm, Meridian Rock. His early music biz experiences led him to educate himself on finance and economics.

Duff will shoot straight on how to handle the contracts and transactions in the recording and live businesses. The history of music is riddled with stories of exploitation and rip offs.

It is Year 4, as once again Music Fog takes the stage in the Saloon Room at Threadgill's WHQ(AKA&. the back room, on the stage against the ruby velvet curtains,) 301 W. Riverside, in South Austin TX. It is an unofficial showcase so no badges or wristbands are necessary, just a desire to eat some good ole homemade food, and see some cooking music. We at Music Fog put the four day schedule together, and our video cameras will be rolling as we gather content for www.musicfog.com. Most times we do our thing behind closed doors, but this gig, we invite you to come and hang in the room for our taping. The Music Fog Motto, after all, is "How Hard Could It Be&.." and the answer, at least when we come to Threadgills is, "Pretty Damn Easy!" What with onsite parking, air conditioning, any drink of any color that you might want, Southern home-style fare with loads of vegetables, and the ever important indoor plumbing with those fancy new 'no hands towel machines. I don't know, they just intrigue me! And really, why would you even think of going anywhere else?

event::about  "Punk in Africa" directed by Keith Jones and Deon Maas produced by Jeffrey Brown, Keith Jones and Deon Maas website: www.punkinafrica.co.za PUNK IN AFRICA is a 2011 documentary film scheduled for release later this year. As a special event for SXSW, producer Jeffrey Brown will present a master class on the forthcoming release of the film and discuss its production, background and recently completed shoots in Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe, as well as screening short excerpts from the film. Synopsis: Three chords, three countries, one revolution‚‚Â…PUNK IN AFRICA is the story of the multi-racial punk movement within the recent political and social upheavals experienced in three Southern African countries: South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. In these societies, the punk subculture represented a genuinely radical political impulse, playing out against a backdrop of intense political struggle, economic hardship and even civil war. PUNK IN AFRICA traces this until-now untold story from its roots in the underground rock music of early 1970s Johannesburg, the first multi-racial punk bands formed in the wake of the Soweto Uprising and the militant anti-apartheid hardcore and post-punk bands of the 1980s to the rise of celebratory African-inspired ska bands which sprang up from Cape Town to Maputo in the democratic era of the 1990s. Today, an emerging generation of bands continue to draw on this legacy to confront the political challenges of contemporary Zimbabwe and the uncertain identity issues of the Afrikaans minority in South Africa.

Location Dot Com Day Stage Austin Convention Center
eventtype  Music
Artists  Blaqstarr
event::about  Blaqstarr There's a term DJs use when talking with each other that describes an experience all of them strive for but that isn't always achieved. The term is "club banger," or "club killer," and while different DJ crews in different places around the world probably have their own variation on the wording, what the term describes is always the same: a song or record, often new but familiar, that is dropped at the right time during a set; a tune that taps into the immediate energy happening at a club or house party and then pushes it over the edge sending the dancefloor into a communal frenzy. It's the perfect song at the right time, and if you've ever experienced it – on the floor or behind the decks – it's a rapturous feeling. Baltimore-based DJ, producer, and artist, Blaqstarr, produced his first "club banger," when he was 16-years old, a local Baltimore Club track that he produced called "TK (Need to find out the exact name of this track)." In fact, before he was even 20 years old, Blaqstarr (real name Charles Smith) had produced over half-a-dozen original tracks that were the biggest tunes in Bmore and whether they were broadcast in his own sets at some eastside house party or spun on the radio at a neighborhood block jam, seemingly every tune Blaqstarr would put out has been a straight "club banger." It's that Midas touch of Blaqstarr's that thrust him out of the typically provincial, claustrophobic world of B-more clubland and into the world at large. It's why M.I.A. trusted a then relatively unknown Blaqstarr as a key collaborator for her wildly original second album (Kala) and its hit single, "Paper Planes." And it's why Blaqstarr found a home as part of Diplo's Mad Decent family and got to take his music around the world. In just a short period of time, Blaqstarr's seemingly effortless string of catchy, booming club tracks has made him one of the most anticipated and observed beat-makers in the world. And it is in that atmosphere that the 25-year old releases the Divine EP, his first release for Neet Records, M.I.A.'s label through Interscope. "Baltimore is such a small world, but there's so much love there for the music, that most people never need to leave," says Blaqstarr. "Baltimore folks like music fast – that's the sound of the city – and if you can make the beats fast and the floor shake, you can be a star right there for a long time. Never have to go nowhere else." Indeed, for the uninitiated, Baltimore Club music has been the soundtrack to life in the onetime thriving port city for over two decades: built on fast beats, booty shaking, raunchy lyrics in songs and suggestive call-and-response provocations from DJs armed with mics. It's the ubiquitous soundtrack of an entire city of people blowing off steam from an otherwise struggling, frustrating environment. And it only exists in Baltimore – a little north in Philly, and they don't get it; a little south in DC and they'd rather hear the punch of go-go music. Local Bmore DJs can make more money off the thousands of mix-CDs they sell at local mom-and-pop stores than they would if they had a hit single on national radio. Since 2003, some of Blaqstarr's songs that found audiences beyond Baltimore include, "Rider Girl," "Hands Up Thumbs Down," and "Shake It To The Ground," featuring the Baltimore vocalist/MC (and fellow Interscope artist) Rye Rye who he discovered, and all released on his own Starr Productions label. The song has a catchy hook and an irresistible bounce, but what made "Shake It To The Ground" a fast-traveling hit outside city limits was the way Blaqstarr chopped up Rye Rye's vocals into rapid-firing syllables that sounded like MPC-created samples; and how Blaqstarr stitched together the song's rhythm track from what sounds like multiple layers of beats at different speeds, creating a mesmerizing syncopation to the whole tune. The song bears a sophistication to its production that draws people to it, even if they can't point out exactly why. That is what has helped propel Blaqstarr beyond the confines of Baltimore – a fierce desire to try out different ideas matched with a fearlessness and curiosity. One of Blaqstarr's signature tunes is "Tote It," in which instead of using standard drum sounds or a sampled break, the percussion of the fast-paced club banger was sampled gun-shots. It was something no one had thought of doing before, and perfectly symbolized that kind of sound of the city. "When I dropped that for the first time," he says, "the party went wild." Club Banger, indeed. For the Divine EP – and the album he plans to record shortly thereafter – Blaqstarr is looking to explore more of his collaborative songwriting than simply his beat-making; that is, more of what he did in working with M.I.A. than the club bangers he's mostly known for. He admits to being really fascinated with the art and form of the pop song, as well as with more experimental instrumental hip-hop and the palette those abstract compositions might offer. "But I'm still gonna do the club thing," he says. "It's universally correct. I can't leave those out. It's in my soul." # # #

Location Radio Day Stage Austin Convention Center
eventtype  Music
Artists  DeVotchKa
event::about  For more than a decade, DeVotchKa has been melting its sweeping collection of influences into an authentic and totally original blend of rock 'n' roll. With the release of the band's fifth album, "100 Lovers" (Anti-, February 2011), the band has headed back to the romantic influences of the Arizona desert with producer Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Neko Case) to create a compendium of short stories inspired by the varied moments the band experienced since the release of A Mad & Faithful Telling (Anti-, 2007). Like many bands, DeVotchKa spent much of their early years traveling the highways and byways searching for gigs and a musical direction. As time went on, the band began to foster important musical collaborations with the unequivocal Calexico and the seminal gypsy punks Gogol Bordello. International tours with Gogol and recordings with Calexico have helped spread the band’s sound around the globe. DeVotchKa's first big break happened when Nic Harcourt, former music director for KCRW, introduced his listeners to a then unknown rock band of worldly sounds on his daily radio show, "Morning Becomes Eclectic". Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton, who were listening that day, stumbled upon the sound for their movie, "Little Miss Sunshine". A critical and box office hit, the film was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar and, for DeVotchKa's soundtrack, a Grammy. The little gypsy wedding band from Denver was suddenly known all across the nation, playing large venues and major music festivals, including Coachella, Bumbershoot, Lollapalooza, and Mile High Music Festival. After years of toiling in obscurity, the band was selling out shows at the Fillmore in San Francisco and First Avenue in Minneapolis, with breakout performances at Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits Music Festival. The love spread to Europe, which has become a yearly destination for the band. "100 Lovers" is the album DeVotchKa had always wanted to make. "How it Ends" was recorded and mixed in only nine days, mainly due to lack of funds. On "A Mad and Faithful Telling,” the band had more time and conducted complex arrangements and experimental recording techniques. For "100 Lovers", DeVotchKa spent over a year defining their sound, taking multiple trips to the desert studio to craft twelve new recordings. The final product is the bands strongest album to date, filled with songs fans will love, songs to draw in new listeners, and exciting numbers that fit nicely into their rousing live sets. Guests on the album include members of Calexico and Mauro Refosco, David Byrne and Thom Yorke’s go-to percussionist. With a full tour lined up for the spring and dates booked all over the world, 2011 is gearing up to be the biggest year for DeVotchKa yet. DeVotchKa is: Nick Urata: Vocals, guitars, Theremin, trumpet, piano Jeanie Schroder: acoustic bass, sousaphone Shawn King: drums, percussion, trumpet Tom Hagerman: violin, viola, accordion, piano

Location Austin Convention Center, Exhibit Hall 3-4
eventtype  Panel, Music
event::about  Das Racist is an Art Rap/Freak Folk/World Music duo based in Brooklyn, New York, comprised of Queens-born Himanshu Kumar and San Francisco-born Victor Vazquez. The two met at Bard Art College in Massachusetts, where Victor was Himanshu's resident advisor in a "Students of Color for Social Justice" themed Freshman year dormitory. After a couple of years of occasional drunken freestyles with each other, Himanshu and Victor decided to record a couple of raps together. The first of which was called "We Made It" and immediately became a hit amongst stupid assholes who like rap from the 1990s and really want that shit to keep happening. The second track was called "Fever" and it was fucking terrible - really bad. Then they made some other songs and then they made "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" which is the one that everyone likes and then they made some other songs. Their least favorite rappers are: Asher Roth, Matisyahu, Immortal Technique, Ludacris, Talib Kweli, Eminem, Sage Francis, Brother Ali, and Atmosphere. And Asher Roth.

event::about 

It is Year 4, as once again Music Fog takes the stage in the Saloon Room at Threadgill's WHQ(AKA&. the back room, on the stage against the ruby velvet curtains,) 301 W. Riverside, in South Austin TX. It is an unofficial showcase so no badges or wristbands are necessary, just a desire to eat some good ole homemade food, and see some cooking music. We at Music Fog put the four day schedule together, and our video cameras will be rolling as we gather content for www.musicfog.com. Most times we do our thing behind closed doors, but this gig, we invite you to come and hang in the room for our taping. The Music Fog Motto, after all, is "How Hard Could It Be&.." and the answer, at least when we come to Threadgills is, "Pretty Damn Easy!" What with onsite parking, air conditioning, any drink of any color that you might want, Southern home-style fare with loads of vegetables, and the ever important indoor plumbing with those fancy new 'no hands towel machines. I don't know, they just intrigue me! And really, why would you even think of going anywhere else?

The Furious Force of Rhymes
Location Carver Museum Boyd Vance Theater
eventtype  Music
event::about  THE FURIOUS FORCE OF RHYMES is a feature-length documentary about the explosion of Hip-Hop culture and Rap music around the globe. Tracing the movements' origins on the mean streets of New York City in the 1970's, the film travels to the modern-day immigrant ghettos surrounding Paris and Berlin and into the cities of Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Dakar. The film focuses in six different countries, each revealing a new aspect of the music and a set of social themes: the USA, France, Germany, Israel / Palestine, and Senegal. It is this multi-national look at Hip-Hop on a global level that distinguishes the film from other Hip-Hop documentaries made to date. Using the lyrics of the artists as a jump-off point, The Furious Force… is a powerful meditation on poverty, racism, struggle and hope. It is also a vibrantly musical film, with performances and a soundtrack that radiates off the screen. It is the first major film about Hip Hop both in and OUTSIDE of the United States.

event::about  It's the stuff of narcotic dreams and nightmares. It's the fulfilment of the promise of a decade of sonic cellarscapes. It's Kitchens of Distinction, Echo & The Bunnymen, Neu, My Bloody Valentine, The Cocteau Twins and - yes, okay - Joy Division encapsulated and crystallised in one almighty rush. It is 'Palace', the debut album from London's Chapel Club - and it is quite possibly the album of the year. In making the record, we were thinking in terms of artists like Mercury Rev, says drummer Rich Mitchell. We weren't scared to put extra sounds in there, to try interesting ideas. It felt like a good time to do it, at the start of a new decade. In the words of guitarist Michael Hibbert, it's also about "not being afraid to be too ambitious. We wanted to take the grandeur and force of the lyrics and make a record that resonates on a large emotional scale. It's music to thrill to." As singer Lewis Bowman explains, it's also the result of an ardent refusal to compromise. We're a new band, a young band, and we've had to find our feet quickly. Our approach this year has been to take things slowly and stick to our vision of what we are and can be. It's very much this is what we want to do and you're gonna have to make space for it in your plans because this is the way we're operating. Hence the photoshoot on the famous Abbey Road crossing wearing grotesque animal masks. Hence the unconventional recording sessions with the legendary Paul Epworth, which saw the band recording live in the same room as the producer, experimenting with Epworth's wild variety of musical toys. And hence the cult following and insane industry buzz that swiftly grew around the band when they started gigging in late 2009, eschewing regular venues to play their cavernous and brilliant spire-rock in art spaces, warehouses and the back rooms of Jamaican pubs. We did things a bit differently to make it all more interesting, says Lewis. Whereas if we told people we're third on the bill at the Purple Turtle this Tuesday and after us there's a hard rock band and before us there's an electro duo, people would've been like Mmm, yeah, think I'm busy. The resulting A&R battle for Chapel Club was among the most ardent of recent years, which came as a shock to the band. Though all apart from Lewis had been in bands before (Rich had been signed to an underground noise rock label aged 14: Our only mention anywhere was an NME review that said 'The sleeve is infinitely better than the racket it surrounds' - we split up after six months), it seemed particularly sudden to Mike, who'd been a little lost in the three years since his previous band split: I didn't have a clue what I was going to do at all. I had no money and no focus. No-one I knew had moved to London yet so I just sat there feeling sorry for myself, smoking shitloads of weed and starting to write songs. Next, Mike recruited a (then) 17-year-old bassist called Liam Arklie, new to London from Swindon, and the pair began to hang out all day and try things out, then go out drinking. We repeated that process seven days a week for a while. The line-up grew with the addition of mild-mannered guitarist Alex Parry, Liam's best friend since childhood. But it wasn't until Mike was introduced to Lewis that Chapel Club found their focus and their spark. Lewis had been writing stories and poetry for years, never showing it to anyone beyond a few close friends. "I wasn't bothered about getting published," he says. "I just wanted to get better. I had a vague hope of making something of it all one day, but I knew I had a long way to go before I could compete with the writers I respected. Then Mike asked me if I wanted to try writing something for this embryonic band he was putting together, and I thought I may as well have a go. It seemed like the perfect outlet." Of the tunes that emerged from those first attempts, several appear on 'Palace', pushing the dark arts of Interpol and My Bloody Valentine way off into the future, stunning and confrontational in equal measure. Debut single O Maybe I offers a moral tug-of-war between romantic security and recklessness (O maybe I should settle down to a quiet life, or maybe I should fuck around with someone's wife), while Surfacing - a pile-driving shimmer that'll never make the band any money since Lewis included a large chunk of the lyric from Mama Cass Dream a Little Dream of Me in the chorus - is an out-and-out hate song directed at an unnamed London scenester. I can't tell you who it's about, Lewis insists, but it doesn't matter. It's enough to say it was inspired by someone who for me represented a certain type of London life-form, totally vacuous and celebrity-obsessed and success-obsessed. I remember being at uni and putting on these club nights and it was all about music and sex. Everyone used to go back to after-parties and everyone was trying to get off with everyone else. I had a girlfriend but I was like this is the way it should be when you're young, this is fun. Then I came back to London and it all changed. Everyone here was all about success, about how much you earn and what access you've got to which parties. And 'Surfacing' is about someone who represented all that for me, a person who'd squandered their humanity or something. They were devoid of personality, of talent, of taste or insight or innocence or wisdom - yet they were doing very well despite all this. I guess you could work out who it's about if you looked into it, the clues are there. The lyric's cryptic rather than obscure. Surfacing then, is the first spite-bite of Palace, a thunderous opening like the crack of a volcano. As the record develops, however, it takes on a different form, with many lyrics drawing on a sense of almost spiritual awe for the natural world, while others reflect the confusion and romance of youth and early adulthood through the warmth and borderline mania of the hedonist's post-party haze. The Shore replays a morning-after walk home through a flower market (I felt awful," says Lewis, "I wanted to get home and get to bed, but at the same time the experience of everything was so alive and vivid), while the shoegazey Fine Light envisions a brief but grateful moment of existential calm, sat on a beach at the peak of a high, watching lights over the sea. Second single Five Trees, meanwhile, offers a vision to rival Coleridge at his most wankered. That lyric came from a scribbled paragraph based on a dream I had years ago, Lewis remembers. I'd over-indulged one weekend and woke up at a friend's house on a drizzly Monday morning feeling pretty fragile. In the last moments before waking, I had this amazing dream. I remember it so clearly. I was watching five trees on a hilltop. Each tree had five branches and there were five leaves at the end of each branch. As I looked the leaves started to glow and turned into these giant glowing snowflake-typeshapes and fell to earth. I woke up on such a comedown and I had to go to work and it was raining and I felt like crying because it was such a vivid, beautiful image in my mind. I felt my life wasn't really going anywhere and I just wanted to retreat back into the dream. Elsewhere, the krautrock drive beneath both After the Flood and White Knight Position serves as the engine room of the record, while luscious pop hits like All the Eastern Girls and Blind provide the intricate and immaculate decoration - bright, enormous love songs that illuminate the core meaning of the album. "The album's a love story," Lewis says. "The whole thing's about love, but not in a typical way, it's not about falling in or out of love. I don't really understand the concept of love as a fall. Real love doesn't strike me as being so sudden or swift or clean or complete. For me, the album is like the fragmentary history of a long relationship, as well as a reflection on some of the questions you ask yourself as you move from youth to adulthood." It's also very much the first chapter in a growing story, hence the title of the record - which refers to the band's first name. "We were called Palace for a few months, but there were too many other bands who'd gotten there first," says Alex. "C

It is Year 4, as once again Music Fog takes the stage in the Saloon Room at Threadgill's WHQ(AKA&. the back room, on the stage against the ruby velvet curtains,) 301 W. Riverside, in South Austin TX. It is an unofficial showcase so no badges or wristbands are necessary, just a desire to eat some good ole homemade food, and see some cooking music. We at Music Fog put the four day schedule together, and our video cameras will be rolling as we gather content for www.musicfog.com. Most times we do our thing behind closed doors, but this gig, we invite you to come and hang in the room for our taping. The Music Fog Motto, after all, is "How Hard Could It Be&.." and the answer, at least when we come to Threadgills is, "Pretty Damn Easy!" What with onsite parking, air conditioning, any drink of any color that you might want, Southern home-style fare with loads of vegetables, and the ever important indoor plumbing with those fancy new 'no hands towel machines. I don't know, they just intrigue me! And really, why would you even think of going anywhere else?

The Music Fog Motto, after all, is "How Hard Could It Be&.." and the answer, at least when we come to Threadgills is, "Pretty Damn Easy!" What with onsite parking, air conditioning, any drink of any color that you might want, Southern home-style fare with loads of vegetables, and the ever important indoor plumbing with those fancy new 'no hands towel machines. I don't know, they just intrigue me! And really, why would you even think of going anywhere else?

The Last Alternative
9 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 10A
eventtype  Panel, Music
event::about  Independent music and labels have always been the life-blood of the industry. Of the 41 artists featured on the first ballot of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, 39 of them started at independent labels. In the late 80s, while the music industry was living the last part of its renaissance, major labels once again turned to independent music for its future. The results: a sonic revolution that changed the sound of popular music, and the music industry forever. This discussion will look at the history of the major label/independent label relationship, with a focus on the time period during the 80s when the majors decided to take meaningful chances on the crazy underground sounds of the post-punk era. And with Arcade Fire winning a Grammy this year, we will ponder the future of the “underground” artist.

Alt Country band VISIONS released their full length concept album Re:VISIONS in late 2010. The album chronicles a sour love affair that spirals out of control and completely engulfs a writer, until he decides the only way he can ever write about anything else is to kill his lover.
Recorded by Mark Leombruni and mastering engineer Jeff Lipton (Arcade Fire, Wilco, Spoon,) songwriter T.J. Petracca's no-holds-barred honesty plunges the listener right into the middle of his own personal battles with the devil in all of his forms.
Sewn together by a seamless arrangement of strings, screaming hammond b3 organ, gospel choir, and the twang of the pedal steel guitar, VISIONS takes you to hell and straight back to Nashville.

Ben Sollee
27 schedule::attendees
Location Stubb's
eventtype  Music
Artists  Ben Sollee
event::about  Ben Sollee wants you to experience all the beauty and banality that life has to offer. It's a serious request, and his enthusiasm is genuine. Armed with a cello, Sollee is canvassing the country, sometimes by bicycle, imploring folks to rediscover the connections between music, art, film, dance, their community, and personal relationships. These factors ultimately translate to the mindset and making of Ben's new project – Inclusions. Beyond bridging genres and demographics with earnest, dynamic songwriting and passionate performances, Ben Sollee seeks to intertwine his music with art and life. The theme of Inclusions is large, humanistic and universal – how relationships influence us all whether intentional or not. The classically trained pop cellist recognized his community and relationships in every facet of Inclusions. Collaborating with local visual artist Phillip March Jones, the album art for Inclusions brings a visual reference to the allegory of the album. Ben's newfound rhythmic intensity comes courtesy of a compositional backbone provided by his old friend and tour confidant, Jordon Ellis. Listeners are also treated to the voice of Cheyenne Marie Mize, who threads soaring harmonies throughout, as well as songwriting for 'I Need.' 'I love this record,' Ben admits. 'I love it for all of its meanings, explicit and incidental. I love the people I got to work with and the sound they helped create. I love how challenging it was to excavate some of the musical ideas and how others washed up in conversation. In these songs, I can hear the city I grew up in and the people that lived down the street.' Ben Sollee first emerged with his inviting 2008-debut Learning to Bend. Saturated with sweeping moods and visceral maturity, Learning to Bend showcased a wild mixture of musical approaches that Ben describes as 'classically influenced folk with leanings of R&B and soul.' The album caught the ear of NPR's Morning Edition, which heralded Sollee as one of the 'Top Ten Great Unknown Artists of 2007.' While people were getting their first listen of Learning to Bend, Ben was out touring with banjo player and songstress Abigail Washburn as part of the Sparrow Quartet. The ensemble, also featuring Grammy-nominated fiddler Casey Driessen and multi-Grammy winning banjoist Bela Fleck, explored the congregation of eastern and western folk music. The critically acclaimed ensemble toured throughout the world, including a US Ambassadorial tour of Tibet. In 2010, Ben collaborated with fellow Kentuckians Daniel Martin Moore and My Morning Jacket front-man Yim Yames on the Sub Pop released Dear Companion. The album explored Ben's desire to use musical encounters as a catalyst to inspire environmental stewardship. Additionally, Ben works with regional non-profits like Appalachian Voices and Kentuckians for the Commonwealth to help preserve a cornerstone and major influence of his songwriting – his ancestral Appalachia. This past summer, Ben teamed with his Dear Companion collaborators for the Appalachian Voices tour – an eight-date tour to raise awareness about the destruction caused by mountain top removal coal mining in central Appalachia. 'I never expect to see that cello in one piece after Ben gets done playing it,' says Yim Yames. 'He bows and beats and works it over with a passionate fury rarely seen. Don't get me wrong – he can play it and hold his own with the most schooled and delicate scholars out there, but more importantly, Ben makes it live.' He continues, 'Ben's songs speak worldly wisdom and stand on their own, and he is out there in this world with those songs and that cello and that god-given voice of his, riding his bike and fighting the good fight and doing all he can to help make the world right.' Later in 2010, Ben embarked on the 'Ditch The Van Tour.' Ben and his band abandoned the comforts of a motorized vehicle and hauled their gear and instruments (yep, the cello too) across the country on bicycles. Ben's mission was to engage a greater sense of community involvement at every performance. By huffing it on two-wheels between cities, instead of driving or flying, Ben and his crew were able to discover people and facets of our country in ways that traditional touring could not allow. 'It's not about being green or even sustainable… we want to exploit the limitations of the bicycle to slow down and experience the rich communities and people that I've spent years flying-by and driving past.' Ben Sollee is not satisfied with just being a musician. It is absolutely paramount to him to incorporate collaborations, regardless of age or credentials, in his personal and professional life. 'I'm such a mutt myself, biologically and socially, that it just makes sense to express that as my pedigree. In the end, that's what folk music is all about; each of us telling our own story.'
