Ozomatli and the State Department: Cool Cultural Diplomacy
27 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Day Stage
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Amy Blackman, Asdru Sierra, Jiro Yamaguchi, Josh Kun, Justin Poree, Mario Calire, Maura Pally, Raul Pacheco, Ulises Bella, Wil-Dog Abers
event::about  In 2007 the LA-based, multi-ethnic hip-hop band Ozomatli set out on a World tour, with stops in Burma, China, Mongolia, Vietnam, Madagascar, South Africa, Egypt, Indonesia, India, Jordan and even Nepal, where they played the first free concert by a band from the West to 14,000 folks in Kathmandu. How did this all come together? Ozomatli served as US cultural representatives under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State. Ozomatli’s tour carried on a tradition of cultural diplomacy that stretches back to the likes of Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Louis Armstrong. Are you interested in learning more about U.S. State Department programs that showcase American talent and engage with communities around the world? Learn more about international exchanges from the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). ECA promotes international mutual understanding through a wide range of exchange programs. A short video will be screened, Ozomatli will perform a short set, and the band and Ms. Pally will answer questions. (Portions of this description courtesy Future of Music Coalition)

The panel will address the source of these rights, and their exploitation and valuation in a rapidly changing landscape.

Emerging Artists Making It With Independent Support
29 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 15
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Sybil Bell, Menno Versteeg, Mark Meharry, Jon Mansfield, Adam Foster
event::about  For artists who've already had success, going the independent route is much easier with the financial security they have. But for newer artists, how do they not only make and market their music but also afford to live at the same time? How much money does an artist need for a traditional album cycle and is that still the best way to release music? With the number of labels struggling to offer old-school style deals with huge marketing budgets and personal advances as the revenue from recorded music declines, artists are having to look at alternative routes for financial and industry support. But do musicians want to run and manage their own business? Does this mean the role of artist manager would change to become a label manager, too? In the UK, schemes like Icebreaker, Power Amp, Ingenious, and more recently Polyphonic (from among other founders includes Radiohead's manager Brian Message) are starting to make waves. Some, but not all, are looking at the bigger picture where revenue can be earned beyond the mechanical royalties. Taking revenue from rights like merch and live is the only basis upon which they feel they have a chance to recoup their investment. And this is all happening against a backdrop of copyright ownership. Is it possible, against all the challenges that artists face today, to own their own copyright and is that a valuable asset to them?

Food and Music - One Big Happy Meal
21 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 12AB
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Bev Chin, Judy Miller Silverman, Jamie Lauren, Meric Long, Darin Bresnitz
event::about  Restaurant owners, chefs and their kitchen/wait staff are not only lovers of food, but music as well. Just about every type of kitchen you walk into regardless of size or location blare tunes over the speakers throughout their busy operating hours. Celebrity Chefs such as Anthony Bourdain and Marco Pierre White are often seen wearing rock t-shirts at events or on their respective television shows. Musicians enjoy good food and dining at restaurants whether they're on the road, at home or on holiday. The everyday consumer also likes food and music. Recently, the culinary world has successfully been blending and working with the music industry, creating fun and tasty marketing opportunities that have brought in events garnering revenue as well as the two things people love most together: food and music. Some of these opportunities include television shows such as IFC's "Dinner with the Band," food and beverage sponsorships/presence at music festivals and promotional music samplers. In this panel, we'll focus on and discuss some of these opportunities, accomplishments and outcome of branding the food world with the music scene nationally.

Fun Fun Fun?: Thirty Years Chronicling Austin Music
22 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 10A
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Doug Freeman, Michael Corcoran, Margaret Moser, Raoul Hernandez, Austin Powell
event::about  In 1986, in the wake of MTV’s The Cutting Edge crashing the Austin music scene, then-Austin Chronicle columnist Michael Corcoran penned an infamous screed declaring “Austin Music Sucks!”. If ever there was cue for hometown hate mail at The Austin Chronicle, this was it. As The Austin Chronicle celebrates its thirtieth anniversary and the publication of The Austin Chronicle Music Anthology, we want to take the opportunity to look back at how both the Austin music scene and the role of music criticism have evolved over the decades. Scouring a colorful history of anecdotes, journalism, fandom, and flaming, we’ll use Austin and The Austin Chronicle as a microcosm to look at how local music scenes get born, blossom, break big, and burn. Slicing through the passion and the perils of covering the hometown scene, this panel will explore the changing landscape of music journalism from an historical perspective and the inevitable love/hate relationship that evolves between local publications and the music they cover. How do journalists deal with the potential conflicts of interest in criticizing scenes with which they are so intimately involved? Is it better for a band to start with local traction, or aim nationally? Do local music scenes, and the publications that cover them, breed creativity or unproductive competition? And what is future for cultural community publications like alt weeklies in the shifting media landscape?

event::about  The Ticketmaster-Live Nation merger was expected to change the touring industry as we know it, but what actually has changed? This panel discusses the effects of the merger on venue owners, bookers and bands. If approached effectively this merger could benefit the little guys out there. Then again, they might be crushed by the larger giant. There might even be ways for a mutually beneficial system out there in which large and small players can coexist. Come see if that is even possible.

Johnny Cash: Trapped by Authenticity
15 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 11AB
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Jonathan Silverman
event::about  Most music fans associate Johnny Cash with authenticity. His life and music speak of his genuineness and commitment to his music. But like most popular artists, Cash was bound by the conventions of the musical world, conventions he struggled against his entire career. Part of his difficulty stemmed from a genre instability that made his connections to his associated audiences tenuous. But another larger problem was the concept of authenticity that lies at the heart of musical adoration and often music criticism. In short, judging anything by its authenticity is a problem—the concept is fraught with logical, artistic, and conceptual difficulties. How do we know who is “real”? What are the criteria? Who benefits from these criteria? And yet, authenticity remains a definitive term for judging a musical artist. In this presentation, I will offer a critique of the authenticity system and suggest some other ways of judging and analyzing pop music using Johnny Cash as a case study.

This performance is considered one of the best shows in Latin America ever. • His show, "La Muerte Del Ìdolo" received a nomination for Best Live Show at the Indie Music Awards 2010. • After the show "La Muerte del Idolo" (the first character of the Adanowsky trilogy) "Amador” is born, being the name and character of his second solo album. • "Amador" was co produced by Rob (Phoenix keyboardist and composer) and mixed by Noah Georgeson (guitarist and producer of Devendra Banhart, Little Joy and Adam Green). • “Amador” was presented with great success in a full Lunario of National Auditory, in front of an astonished and grateful public for the new and spectacular theatricality of the new character. • Adanowsky was the special guest of Phoenix at the Sport Palace show in September 2010, he played in front of more than 10,000 people, who received him very warmly in the expectation of being the concert of the year. (In their own words, Phoenix said this show is on the Top 3 of their entire career). • Adanowsky has performed in the most important festivals in Mexico, such as Hellow fest, in Monterrey with Zoè and Devendra Banhart, also at Corona Capital Fest, featuring James, Interpol and Pixies. • Adanowsky's musical talent, coupled with his pleasant personality and excellent staging, are the elements that lead to the success of their live performances. • He was invited by huge Spanish star, Enrique Bunbury to close the final show of a series of presentations held at the National Auditorium in Mexico City. Both artists performed to an audience estimated at more than 10,000 people. • “Amador” was released in Spain, where Adanowsky did a serie of specials presentations, which reaffirmed his position as one of the most important emerging artist of the decade. • Adanowsky is releasing his third single in the coming days, entitled “Un Sol Con Corazón”, whose video directed himself and soon will reach the specialized television channels. • The musician prepared big surprises for 2011, with full shows in Spain, Argentina, Chile and USA. Discography: -“Étoile Éternelle” (2006) -“El Ìdolo” (December, 2008) -“Amador” (June, 2010)

event::about  Since Aristotle, man has organized his knowledge vertically in separate and unrelated groups---Science, Religion, Sex, Relaxation, Work, etc. The main emphasis in his language, his system of storing knowledge, has been on the identification of objects rather than on the relationships between objects. He is now forced to use his tools or reasoning separately and for one situation at a time. Had man been able to see past this hypnotic way of thinking, to distrust it (as did Einstein), and to resystematize his knowledge so that it would all be related horizontally, he would now enjoy the perfect sanity which comes from being able to deal with his life in its entirety. It is possible for Man to alter his mental state and thus alter his point of view (that is, his own basic relation with the outside world which determines how he stores his information). He then can restructure his thinking and change his language so that his thoughts bear more relation to his life and his problems, therefore approaching them more sanely. It is this quest for pure sanity that forms the basis of The Black Angels. -Tommy Hall

Location House Of Commons
eventtype  Unofficial Party
event::about 

For the first year ever, REDEFINE magazine -- a Pacific Northwest-based independent music, art, and film blog -- has decided to undertake the daunting task of throwing a show at SXSW.

After partnering with influential Dallas-based mixtape blog, Clumsy & Shy, and enlisting the help of Portland, OR booker, The Petite Zarathustran, the collaborative trio employed DIY tactics and ideals to scrap together a doozy of a SXSW house party. The thirty-band lineup will reflect the locales of the party throwers, with nine performers from the Pacific Northwest and six from Austin or its surrounding areas.

The unofficial house party will be an all-day gathering on Friday, March 18th, 2011, at a 21-person vegan housing co-op calledHouse Of Commons (2610 Rio Grande St., Austin, TX 78705). An indoor and outdoor stage will include headlining acts like Starfucker, Casiokids, Prince Rama, Class Actress, BRAHMS, The Night Beats, Woodsman, and Moon Duo.

In the spirit of the publication's mission statement, the event will be entirely FREE to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis, without any RSVP limitations.

FREE ++ BYOB ++ SOME SNACKS FOR EARLY ATTENDEES.

event::about 

Check out this SPECTACULAR event!  Free booze, free food,  free DIY craft tables, awesome homemade craft vendors,  belly dancers, great bands, and maybe even a robot.   You don't want to miss this event!

Ages ago, when political and military skirmishes spread across the globe, one man grew tired of the constant upheaval and war. Commodore Von Keepsie ordered his troops to lay down their arms for one day, and, instead, commanded the men under his keep to spend the day throwing massive parties across his empire. After that, no one felt like fighting again, opting instead to work out their differences through revelry and libations.

Standard Recording Co., in part with many friendly allies, invoke the spirit of Commodore Von Keepsie for the 2011 South By Southwest with a massive party in the heart of Austin. Not content with only aural pleasures, the Craftacular Music Carnivale will remain true its namesake by hosting the Hello Craft Make Something Awesome Area, Handmade Promenade market, and screen printing from ProvoCraft's Yudu. The Commodore will also call upon his faithful band of merrymakers, inviting them to perform visual displays of stunning imagination. In short, everyone attending the Craftacular Music Carnivale is certain to take away a cornucopia of literal and figurative souvenirs upon their departure, preserving the Commodore’s message of revelry.

Complimentary libations will be provided by Graham's Texas Sweet Tea Vodka & Treaty Oak Platinum Rum.

The Standard party is free and open to the public. Space is limited, and although we'll make every effort, an RSVP does not guarantee entry though preference will be given to those who RSVP.

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?

Speaker  Tamara Conniff, Dan Teree, Chuck La Vallee, Tyler Petersen, Brock Jones
event::about  With entertainment heading more and more online, the traditional vehicle for artists - the concert - had to adapt.

No longer can you simply wait outside to purchase tickets to your favorite show, the entire concert process has been shrouded in mystery -- until now. This music panel combines a group of leading industry representatives and will discuss the key properties of concert tickets from the first promotion to sound check, tips of the trade, why choice, pricing and selection are essential to fans, and current music industry movements.

CLE 2: What You Get and Give Up in Today's Recording Agreement
17 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 9ABC
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Paul Bezilla, Dina LaPolt, David Lessoff
event::about  The exclusive recording agreement remains the centerpiece contract of most music artists' careers. However, by getting signed, not only are the probabilities of a sustained career with a record company less than at the beginning of this century, but the terms of the recording agreement also have evolved since then to become less artist-friendly. Declining music sales, coupled with the reduction of the purchase price of music altogether, justifies scrutinizing record deals more than ever.

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?

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears
224 schedule::attendees
Location Radio Day Stage Austin Convention Center
eventtype  Music
Artists  Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears
event::about  Joe Lewis is stuffed into a van with his six bandmates and one stranger, as they hurtle across Texas to a gig in Marfa. Most of the guys are sleeping now, content in the knowledge they've just made the record of their lives. All killer, no filler, the fittingly titled, take-no-prisoners Scandalous (Lost Highway)'once again produced by Jim Eno, moonlighting from his main gig as Spoon's drummer'is a churning slab of rock & roll, blues and funk, laced with a double shot of 100-proof punkitude. This band has gotten tight as a gnat's ass through nearly two years of barnstorming without a break. œWe've grown a lot as a band, and so has our fan base, the lanky, enigmatic Lewis acknowledges. œHopefully it's still going up, but it will ultimately be what we make of it. As the shows get bigger and we get bigger, we have to keep improving to meet the demand. If we can't do that, it won't go anywhere. From the look in Joe's eyes as he glances at the one-stoplight towns and endless open country of central Texas whizzing past, you can tell he knows whereof he speaks. While on the road, they also eagerly soaked up the worldly knowledge of touring mates the New York Dolls and Cedric Burnside & Lightnin' Malcolm. œThe Dolls covered Bo Diddley and Sonny Boy Williamson, and so do we, says guitarist Zach Ernst, riding shotgun in the van, as he does in the band. œThat youthful, aggressive, unschooled thing is really appealing to us. That's what we like to listen to and what we're shooting for. We've had some lineup changes since the first record, but at its core, it's still the same band, and everyone's excited to move on to the next stage. Like his forebears, Lewis writes from direct, often bitter experience with unflinching veracity. The songs of Scandalous are littered with the debris of age-old issues: hard times and one-night stands, lying and cheating, redemption and revenge. Gritty, raunchy and real, his music is not for the squeamish, but experiencing it fully can be genuinely cathartic. The album opens with the funky fantasia œLivin' in the Jungle, as Joe wails with tonsil-shredding abandon over a rhythm section erupting like a tropical storm and horns honking like hyenas in heat. œI've always said that if I ever got rich, I would go buy a bunch of land in the Congo or the Amazon, build a nice house and have an Amazon woman to hang out with, he explains, straight-faced. On the following œI'm Gonna Leave You, the band sends a jolt of electricity through a Mississippi hill country blues template. œIt's about leavin' a girl, just gettin' out while you can, before the shit gets too thick, he says, punctuating the line with a wicked cackle. From there, it's all hands on deck, as one sonic assault after another rips into the eardrums and the pelvis all at once. The instant-classic highway boogie œMustang Ranch recounts, in sordid detail, an overnight drive between Salt Lake City and San Francisco, Joe spinning out the narrative as a revved-up talking blues. œIt was a long, ridiculous drive, and we got the idea of stopping at the Mustang Ranch, he recalls. œWe were like, 'Let's go, man'we got nothin' better to do.' So we stopped in there, and it was a really odd experience. Here, another quick laugh escapes Joe's lips. œWe figured out that we don't fit brothels that well, and the girls are all fuckin' busted. But nobody caught anything. Then we left, and we stopped in Reno at six in the morning. It was a freaky experience. We went into a casino and got a cheap breakfast, and all the burnt-out gamblers were walking the town like zombies out there in the early morning. There were even weird lights hovering in the sky. That song's a true story, pretty much. Lewis seems to be channeling Robert Johnson on œMessin', which turns on his spooky, low-down vocal and acoustic guitar. œI'm just an old-style blues fan, and I'm tryin' to do that kind of thing with it, he says, reeling off the names of his favorite practitioners: Lightnin' Hopkins, Junior Kimbrough, Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf and Magic Sam. The album's biggest surprise is œYou Been Lyin', a torrid, politically-themed workout in the tradition of Parliament-Funkadelic and late-'60s Temptations. Featured on this track are the group vocals of the Relatives, a Dallas gospel funk band that made some criminally under-exposed records three decades ago. œThey're like the greatest band ever, says Joe, œand I'm glad we got them on there, 'cause they made the track really sweet. Here and elsewhere, you can also pick up the influence of the Stooges, another of Lewis' touchstones, in the confrontational physicality of the performances. œPeople call us a soul band, but we're more of a rock & roll band, he points out. œWe feel like what we're doing is different from the soul bands with horn sections that are out there right now, Ernst adds. œWe always joke that we would do that kind of music, but we're not good enough: our guitars are too loud, we're too primitive on our instruments, and Joe is more of a shouter and a talking-blues guy than a smooth soul singer. So we're carving out our own thing because it's the only way that we can do it. We can't play it any cleaner or smoother'and we don't want to, either. Growing up in Austin and Round Rock, Joe took it all in'Delta and Chicago blues, Memphis soul, Detroit garage punk'and what came out the other end was, and is, unlike anything else out there. œI don't know, man'I just kinda dove into it, Lewis continues. œThese neighbors of mine were in this country band and they got to go on tour all the time, and I had to go to work in this stupid factory. I was like, 'Man, I gotta get in on that.' So I pulled a guitar down off the wall of a pawn shop where I was workin' at the time and learned stuff as I went along. The people I was playing with wanted to practice all the time, and I was like, 'No, man, let's get out there'I wanna try to do this shit.' I pretty much learned on stage. After years of struggle to get heard, things started moving fast for Lewis after he and Ernst put together the earliest incarnation of Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, naming themselves after a crusted container of honey they found on the floor of their œdisgusting rehearsal room. They went out with Spoon after Britt Daniel caught a set, and their subsequent, Eno-produced EP caught the ear of Lost Highway's Kim Buie, who signed them to a record deal. Eno then helmed their 2009 debut album for the label, Tell 'Em What Your Name Is!, much of it cut live off the floor. œThe album manages to maximize every incendiary second of sonic sexuality the band is putting out, raved PopMatters' Christel Loar. œMake no mistake, Lewis knows his history, but he also knows his moment, too, and it's now. The Honeybears aren't afraid to mine the past to make music for the future. That spot-on assessment goes double now. œWe pride ourselves on keepin' our own style and staying true to the guys we look up to, says Lewis. œWe play the music that we like listening to. It's always about the music first. As night falls, the van pulls into Marfa, the musicians rub the sleep from their eyes and stretch their muscles, which will soon be put to use unloading their gear. This is what they live for'another night blowin' the roof in front of a houseful of boozed-up locals looking for a thrill. For the paying customers, it's a few hours of sweet relief. For Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, it's another long day and hot night in the life of a working band'seven hungry guys with their eyes on the far horizon.

Location Dot Com Day Stage Austin Convention Center
eventtype  Music
Artists  Gustavo Galindo
event::about  GUSTAVO GALINDO was born in Mexico City and moved to California at an early age. He grew up playing guitar with his dad and listened to various kinds of music, from rancheras written by Jose Alfredo Jimenez to the pop melodies of Juan Gabriel and Luis Miguel to international bands like The Beatles and U2. In college he drew inspiration from the new breed of Latin artists, from Mana to Ozomatli, whose music defied traditional labels. Not restricted by language or genre, Gustavo writes and performs in both English and Spanish. His sound is a combination of traditional and contemporary Mexican and American styles. Today Gustavo is a favorite among both music fans and professionals who have seen him perform relentlessly, opening up opportunities to support several top Latin acts. In addition to legends such as Enrique Iglesias and Juanes, he has shared the bill with Zoe, Kinky, Gloria Trevi, Ximena Sariñana, Natalia Lafourcade, Ely Guerra, Alejandra Guzman, Babasonicos, Alex Cuba, Los Amigos Invisibles and more. Those who have followed his early career have witnessed the emergence of a serious talent, and expectations for the release of “Barco De Papel” have been building as he has played for audiences across the country. Without a doubt, his debut album ENTRE LA CIUDAD Y EL MAR is shaping up to be one of this year’s most impressive debuts.

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?

eventtype  Music
Artists  Fitz and The Tantrums
event::about  Pickin’ Up The Pieces Fitz – vocals Noelle Scaggs – back-up vocals/tamborine James King – saxophone Jeremy Ruzumna - keyboards John Wicks - drums Joseph Karnes - bass In just a year or so, soulsters Fitz & the Tantrums went from the living room to the main stage. The recipe for meteoric success? Six killer musicians, five dapper suits, irresistible songs, some serendipity and one vintage organ. Since their first show at Hollywood’s Hotel Café in December 2008, Fitz and co. have toured with Maroon 5, played to thousands at Colorado’s world famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre, shared the stage New Year’s Eve with Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and performed on KCRW’s esteemed show, Morning Becomes Eclectic, all this on the strength of their stellar five-song EP, Songs for a Breakup, Vol. 1. For some bands, it takes a lifetime to build this success, but few performers deliver an unrestrained blast of soul-clapping, get-down-on-the-floor, moneymaker shakers like Fitz and the Tantrums. Now post-release of their debut full length, Pickin’ Up the Pieces, which has since earned them a 3 ½ star album review in ROLLING STONE, the troupe is poised to get down in dancehalls across the universe. It all began when… [cue flashback sounds] “I got a call from my ex-girlfriend,” Fitz explains, “And she said, ‘My neighbor is moving out in a hurry and has to sell everything. And, he has this organ…” Fitz, the Svengali frontman of the crew, describes the find like the discovery of a compass, or that treasure map in Goonies, which undoubtedly leads to adventure. Not one to say no, Fitz called some piano movers, cashed in some favors, and seven hours later, the organ went from the curb to his living room. That night, Fitz stationed himself in front of that vintage instrument and wrote a blue-eyed soul anthem, “Breaking the Chains of Love.” “Sometimes, the Music Gods just give it to you,” Fitz says. The overflow of inspiration startled Fitz. He’d spent years in L.A.’s music industry, writing music and working in a studio with Beck producer, Mickey Petralia. But at those 88 keys, just seven hours after that organ dropped into his life, Fitz had finally found his voice. “I’ve always been a singer,” Fitz says, “but with so much music, I felt that I was trying to push a square peg through a round hole. I was being not true to myself, and it never felt right until I wrote that song, and I sang like that. I thought, this feels so real, so natural.” Fitz shared his vision with long-time friend and saxophonist, James King, who immediately connected with the sound. While the electric guitar drives rock, the saxophone takes center stage in soul, and that’s the way Fitz likes it. “We wanted to find a new vocabulary for the genre, I wanted to make a record without any guitars. Could we make a huge sound with out any guitars?” A huge sound takes a huge studio--Motown had Studio A in Detroit, Philadelphia International had Sigma Studios, Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound was created in Hollywood’s legendary Gold Star Studios-- but when it came time to capture the feeling and the soul of soul, Fitz knew of the perfect studio: his home. There in the living room, he recorded Songs for a Breakup, Vol. 1, a burst of effervescent swingers and floor-stompers, infused with the energy of long forgotten songs. The infectious, rolling rhythms of “Breaking the Chains of Love,” immediately turns your head and actually get cemented in your brain, like a good pop song should. The sound is familiar, but distinct. That’s what grabbed the attention of Maroon 5’s Adam Levine. Levine was getting a tattoo in New York when the tattoo artist told him he had to hear this new band he had discovered. After that one encounter, Levine personally invited Fitz and the Tantrums to join their tour. Like the EP, Fitz recorded the full-length debut back at home, to bottle the lightning that struck in those first jam sessions. He now delves into more acerbic lyrical territory, going on the offensive against gold diggers on the exceptionally funky “MoneyGrabber,” and even gets political on the piano-banging, handclap-driven call to action, “Dear Mr. President.” "L.O.V." is a jaunt through pop music history embarking with a groovy organ intro, meandering through juicy big band breakdowns and Fitz's svelte croons, then carrying us away with flute outro. It's a funk-filled plea to give love a chance. These powerful songs take the band’s energy up a notch, but like their energized performances, they never loose control. Those blistering performances are now well-chronicled for adequate ubiquity, Last Call With Carson Daly nailing the money shot for “MoneyGrabber” at the band’s sold out show in November at LA’s El Rey Theatre featuring a sea of a thousand pogoing fans and a handful of F.A.T.T. gems rocked along with blue-eyed soul vet, Daryl Hall on the band’s spot on Live From Daryl’s House. Lest we forget, an omnipresent T-Mobile HTC ad that actually namechecks the band that, for the past several months, is impossible not to see if you’re watching even an hour’s worth of television. Oh, and there are the hot spots on Criminal Minds, Desperate Housewives and a great many more, not to mention a ton of success at radio for the aforementioned runaway “MoneyGrabber,” all with the promise of more to come. In their sound and on the stage, Fitz and the Tantrums are nothing but professionals, and never less than classy. Enter the Tantrums, Fitz’s airtight ensemble keeping it real like it’s 1969. Funky drummer John Wicks is a Motown B-side aficionado and prolific session player, Jeremy Ruzumna manned the keyboards and was musical director for Macy Gray. James King backed De La Soul and bassist Joseph Karnes is a well sought after session player. Then there’s Noelle Scaggs, the powerful voice behind Fitz’s croons. Make no mistake, Scaggs is not just there for “doo-wops” and handclaps. She shimmies and flirts, she stokes the crowd and simmers them down, and she has no qualms about keeping Fitz in check. “She is not just a backup singer,” Fitz says, “We have repartee. Onstage, we’re Ike and Tina.” There, on the stage, Fitz and the Tantrums are not just a band, they’re an explosion. Scaggs high steps it to the tight-as-hell rhythm section, while Fitz, cooler than cobalt, croons like the aforementioned Mr. Hall for a new generation. It’s obvious that this is no tryst for the band, this is a full-blown, head-over-heels love affair.

Thus passed many shows, many trips, many movies, many friends. We play from Rotterdam to Albuquerque without stopping. Of all the places in the world have written to connect to me.."Piñata", the second album was a bit more planned. I did team with my dear friend Holger Beier from Le Hammond Inferno and had a memorable recording sessions. For this record was a guest Chris Frantz of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, Adrian Dargelos of Babasónicos, Tanaka of Fantastic Plastic Machine, Joselo and Quique Rangel from Café Tacuba. The Liquits ... well ... tons of nice people. With this album has been complete madness. We toured around and has been the most fun to me happened in my life. Now we are with "Soy Sauce." According to me is my best album. I recorded it in 3 stages in Mexico City with Holger Beier, is already a tradition. This time besides the Liquits studio also visited the studio of Molotov, was fun to be there. I have less guest this time. Ad Rock of Beastie Boys rapping on a version of Alocatel. Joselo Rangel also recorded some great guitars and my dear drummer Paco also got his own. Julian Placencia with which play live was the super engineer with Paolo Morabito. The album is more eclectic: it has Mariachi, Hip Hop, Soul, French Chanson, Punk, Ska and Cumbia. I hope you enjoy it like me. Camilo Lara

event::about  Detroit based Hip-Hop artist and activist Invincible began penning lyrics at the age of nine, shortly after moving to the Midwest from the Middle East and learning English by memorizing her favorite songs. She started her own label and media company EMERGENCE and released her critically acclaimed debut album ShapeShifters in 2008. Her lyrics are deeply rooted in social justice work, reflected in a writing process that often involves community feedback, and interviews with community members. Waajeed is no stranger to those who know good music. After helping Slum Village get from dot to bang with J Dilla in the mid-'90s, he dropped cuts with Dwele and a series of classics on his label bling47. Then came PPP, a collaboration between Waajeed and Saadiq, with guests like Sa-Ra and Spacek, the Platinum Pied Pipers album brought a blend of Detroit soul, hip hop, house and rock to the table. He also has released the War LP and dozens of classic refixes and collaborations. He currently produces and DJs around the world, breaking the barriers of genre and innovating the art form. The two met in 1997 and began working together in 2003. Shortly after, Invincible appeared on PPP's debut album Triple P, and ever since they have collaborated on numerous projects. Their official collaboration as Invincible + Waajeed launched in June of 2010 with the release of the "Detroit Summer/Emergence" 7" limited edition vinyl. Their upcoming album and multimedia project will illuminate the connections between complex science, social movements, and Hip-Hop.

Between the Lines of Andrew Earles' Husker Du Biography
17 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 11AB
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Andrew Earles, Grant Hart
event::about  Writer Andrew Earles will discuss several topics centered around his recently-published biography of Husker Du. Among these topics will be how the music press has focused on certain aspects of Husker Du’s legacy, thus overshadowing the many groundbreaking steps taken by the band during their active years as well as the massive impact the trio’s legacy has had on the past quarter-century of underground music. Also discussed will be the sensitivity that remains at the core of Husker Du and the state of flux currently held by the band’s back catalog, even to this day, and how this influenced Earles’ biographical endeavor. This being Earles’ first book, some matters related directly to that will be touched upon, namely the mistakes made and lessons learned during the writing process.

Critics vs. Publicists: Why Must Things Be Contentious?
21 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 17AB
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Heather West, Kyle Ryan, Bill Bentley, Traci Thomas, Bill Holdship
event::about  While we all pretend our relationships are ultra cordial, there is resentment galore on both sides of the Publicity/Critics axis. Critics complain about getting too many pitches, about miscues in interviews, about not getting the access they request and so on. Publicists feel ignored, get angry when critics request everything and review nothing, when critics insinuate that they'll review a show when they really just want tickets, and so on. Let’s hash out these issues, face to face.

Joey Kramer of Aerosmith

Location Austin Convention Center, Ballroom D Foyer
eventtype  Panel, Music
event::about  Joey Kramer of Aerosmith will be stopping by the SX Bookstore to greet registrants and sign copies of his book, Hit Hard: A Story of Hitting Rock Bottom at the Top. This is NOT just another rock 'n' roll memoir. In addition to the never-before-told Aerosmith war stories that abound in the book, Hit Hard unpacks the history of a rock star who was both fragile and tough, who after years of insane wildness became willing to accept help and finally kick a serious alcohol and drug addiction, only to find that the real terrors and hard work were still ahead. "I love this book; this is an important book, because it's not bullshit. Joey had the balls to see what was underneath the hood, and to fix it. Being a rock star was easy compared to that." — (From the Foreword by NIKKI SIXX, author of The Heroin Diaries) For more information on Joey Kramer visit www.JoeyKramer.com and for Aerosmith www.Aeroforceone.com.

Music Transcending Borders and Boundaries
4 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 8BC
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Jeffrey Clyburn, Zoe Jakes, Thomas Cappel, David Satori
event::about  Music transcends borders emotionally, but artists still must find and capture an audience. With so much talent around the world, sometimes it is harder to "break out" to a global audience. This presentation will explore how labels and producers work with seasoned and emerging artists across genres, global boundaries and platforms. This includes best practices for online programming and traditional distribution. This presentation will include an executive from National Geographic Music and musical group that has successfully gained global recognition. They will discuss the most effective ways artists can increase their musical reach to a vast, incredibly diverse global audience. This includes the best resources, online or otherwise, for discovering the next big crossover acts in international music. National Geographic Music was established to reach people and inspire them to care about the planet through music and the power of radio. The division oversees the production of projects from today's hottest artists who are actively involved in environmental and cultural issues, as well as offers consumers the soundtrack of the world, from traditional roots music to unexpected hybrids from the furthest reaches of the globe. It launched with several distribution partners, including Clear Channel, Salem Communications and NPR, in order to provide the greatest opportunities for artists to expand their reach to global audiences.

Musicians Bringing Musicians Home: New Orleans After Katrina
5 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 16B
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Deyden Tethong, Thao Nguyen, Jordan Hirsch, Jon Langford, Mike Mills
event::about  August 2010 marked the fifth anniversary of Katrina and the flooding of New Orleans, the city that birthed American music. Almost immediately after the storm, musicians were some of the first to respond: they traveled to New Orleans to aid in rescue work and produced benefits that raised significant funds and awareness for the relief effort. Five years later, musicians continue to demonstrate their commitment to this city by working to ensure that local musicians, many of whom are the tradition bearers of this vital culture, are able to remain and thrive in New Orleans. This panel will give an overview of the state of the music community pre-Katrina, how Katrina, the floods and the response impacted musicians and their way of life directly after the storm, how community organizations and advocates have focused efforts to serve the music community, how musicians from all over the country have worked to support and promote these efforts, and what more can be done to ensure this important city, her people and culture can thrive. Wayne Kramer said after participating in a series of artist-activism retreats in New Orleans (produced by ATC), "Go to New Orleans and meet the folks down there. Talk with them, eat with them, work alongside them and then play music with them and for them... Anyone that calls themselves a musician owes a debt to New Orleans..."

event::about  Here we examine some of the links between comedy and music: the use of humor in song writing and especially in live performances, the development of web-based musical comedy, the continuing role of the artist as "Court Jester," and the blending of comedy and music to raise awareness and/or funds for not-so-funny causes. For many years, the term "musical comedy" evoked 50s-era showtunes; now Green Day's "American Idiot" is a big hit on Broadway, and the song "D*ck In a Box" won an Emmy. We'll look at how the worlds of music and comedy work together in the digital age, and we'll consider what lies ahead. We'll be here all week; try the veal.

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.

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?

event::about  Kingston, Ontario’s quick-rising duo, PS I Love You, unleashed their brilliant debut album on October 5th, 2010 on Paper Bag Records. The ten-track album titled, Meet Me At The Muster Station, is a relentless listen that grips and pulls the listener through just under thirty-minutes of squalling Marshall feedback, searing solos, soaring melodies and rock-steady beats and will surely be considered one of this year’s finest debuts. PS I Love You have been extremely busy over the past couple of years having already released two acclaimed 7″ singles. The first was a split 7″ with friend Diamond Rings in August of 2009. Earlier this year, the band released a 7″ for ‘Starfield’ before wowing audiences at their Canadian Music Week and NXNE showcases. Recently, the band has shared the stage with the hottest indie acts including label-mates Born Ruffians as well as Japandroids and Wavves. PS I Love You was originally the solo project for multi-instrumentalist Paul Saulnier who has performed in everything from a country-rock band to an improvised noise duo. PS I Love You was intended to be his experimental, pop music outlet using guitar looping pedals, keyboards with some gadgets and gimmicks. The addition of Benjamin Nelson on drums suddenly transformed PS I Love You’s little songs into mini, soaring rock anthems.

Artists  The Felice Brothers
event::about  The Felice Brothers – Bio Celebration, Florida out April 19, 2011 on Fat Possum '…what separates The Felices' mud-stomping folk from that of their peers is their no-winking honesty – the sense that these songs and the places and people they're singing about aren't literary devices but actual people doing their damnedest to rage against the growing darkness.' – Filter Good Music Guide, 2009 Here's what's already known about The Felice Brothers: they are a close-knit band of two brothers and three longtime friends, all in their twenties. They are self-taught, not one of them played an instrument prior to the band's inception in 2006 when they started busking in New York City subway stations. The Felice Brothers have released three full-length albums; their last, Yonder Is The Clock, on Team Love Records (2009). The majority of their work was recorded in a converted chicken coop in upstate New York near their hometown of Palenville. Esquire, Filter, The New York Times, NPR, Spin, Time Out New York, Uncut, and Under The Radar have praised them, among others. They are on virtually constant tour in the States and overseas, and have performed at festivals including Bonnaroo, All Points West, Outside Lands, Langerado, and the Philadelphia Folk Festival. Recognized for their live show, The Felice Brothers will play for their audience come hell or high water; the foremost example is their transcendent performance at the 2008 Newport Folk Festival, where they soldiered on, unplugged, in the rain, and barefoot in the mud after a lightning bolt shorted their stage's power supply. Here's what might come as a surprise about The Felice Brothers: their new and fourth LP Celebration, Florida is an exhilarating amalgamation of frightening horn sections, unexpected 808s, ambient synth lines, schoolyard taunts, booming, primitive drum beats, heavy bass lines, piano, violin, accordion, ringing guitars, rave beats, and sinister acid jazz that captivates and mystifies. Recorded in the library and theater of Beacon, NY's old high school, the band explores a multitude of sounds and instrumentation throughout the expansive album. It's inspired, imaginative, heady, menacing, passionate, and rollicking. Most importantly, it's as steadfastly authentic as ever, expanding upon the dark, woozy undercurrent of ramshackle barroom blues, vaudevillian atmospherics, and surreal storytelling of their previous albums. Under The Radar wrote in a review of Yonder Is The Clock that The Felice Brothers find 'inspiration and freedom rather than constraints in the traditions of folk music.' Celebration, Florida revels in this inventive, outlaw spirit; it's the sound of a band that knows its roots and knows where it's growing. It's a group who just might expand the definition of Americana music along the way. Celebration, Florida casts scenes of dreamy characters and stories interwoven like a block of primetime TV. Among the tales: a young woman who sets off to find a secret paradise; a teenager who enters a boxing gym in Catskill, NY; a late night host recounting his rise to fame to his honeybee while traveling in a private jet; shady degenerates who get lost in a mystery concerning a Honda Civic; a young girl who crimps her hair and spies her dead father driving down the road; a Wall Street scandal hits a little too close to home; and even a trip through space to find long forgotten Hollywood parties and hopefully make it back there in time to walk down the red carpet. The Felice Brothers are: Ian Felice, James Felice, Christmas, Greg Farley, and David Turbeville.

New York has Fashion Week, Austin has Style By.

 

But Style X will not only champion the emerging trends in Austin’s style sphere, but also the imaginative and noteworthy talents from across the globe. Debuting during the 25th Anniversary of South by Southwest Music, Style X is the next and natural evolution of the internationally-renowned festival and conference.

Style X includes a pop-up retail showcase that will serve as the official shopping experience of SXSW with dozens of brands from around the country bringing the latest designs in screenprinting and design, women’s, menswear, streetwear, swimwear and accessories. Also, Style By will host multiple fashion shows, each celebrating a different segment of style. Stay tuned for more information on the runway shows.

Music has always been a source for fashion trends and style and Style X is the world’s first event bringing those two together with a keen focus on the up-and-coming. Just as the music, film and technology makers reflect the innovative and creative capital of their respective industries, Style X will represent the inventive and inspired work of style makers from all over the world. They will be from places as far as Houston and Hong Kong and they will offer everything from eyeglasses and t-shirts to dresses and sneakers. The style will be by them, but this event will be for you.

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?

Breaking Out of the World Music Ghetto
9 schedule::attendees
Location Austin Convention Center, Room 10A
eventtype  Panel, Music
Speaker  Dmitri Vietze
event::about  World music is getting hipper, grittier, and younger (Balkan Beat Box, Chicha Libre, Antibalas, All Music is World Music Showcase, etc.) and indie music is getting more international (Vampire Weekend, MIA, Blk Jks, The Fader Fort, etc.). Will the two merge so there is no longer a distinction? Until then, how can international artists who keep their roots intact or merge cultures and languages break out of the world music ghetto? What can we learn from MIA, Vampire Weekend, and Fela? Do musicians have to sing in English to cross over? What is the role of photos and videos in breaking down walls? Whether you are into Afrobeat or Balkan electronica, Latin Alternative or Asian Massive, join this explosive and interactive conversation about taking global music off of the coffee table and onto the main stage. Topics will include why some promoters prefer to stay in the world music ghetto, phases of fan conversion, building from niche to mainstream, branding/marketing across cultures, getting mainstream presenters to accept gritty sounds, and why world music has some advantages over other categories. This panel turns the conference model on its head, where you the audience are the panelists.

Speaker  Brad Navin, David Hyman, Charles Caldas, Marcus Whitney, Cathy Bauer
event::about  When iTunes first launched, the pricing strategy mimicked the physical pricing strategy. Now that the digital market has matured a bit and there are multiple stores to create products for, there are many more options to consider when releasing music. Metric found success in their D2C store, deluxe digital packages are all over the iTunes Top Albums chart, The Raveonettes believe in the multi-EP model between albums and the addition of tracks for $1.29 seems to have stalled the growth of digital track sales. There is plenty of data available to demonstrate what works and what doesn’t, so we’ll discuss the successes we’ve experienced and how we've refined the strategies that were not entirely successful.

They organize, support public programs and provide creative outlets for disenfranchised youth. This panel will focus on the work of such artist-led movements, the effect they have within the various communities, and what we as musicians, industry executives, and the media can learn from such movements about community engagement.

Immigration issues must be dealt with early in tour planning, but only by examining what the issues are and how they have changed, can the savvy manager, booking agent, promoter, record company or independent artist avoid the pitfalls. The combination of technological advances and prevention of terrorism initiatives make this area of touring more complex than ever. This panel will illuminate the situation for those who have had problems, and to those considering embarking on international touring, by examining time scales, costs and potential problems, along with the long term implications of incorrect advice.

Now in our fourth year, Urban Roots is a youth development program that uses sustainable agriculture as a means to transform the lives of young people and increases the access of healthy food in Austin. By growing sustainably farmed vegetables, young people work together to serve the community, cultivate farming and business skills, learn the value of meaningful work, and discover how to eat and cook in healthy ways.

event::about 

New York has Fashion Week, Austin has Style By.

But Style X will not only champion the emerging trends in Austin’s style sphere, but also the imaginative and noteworthy talents from across the globe. Debuting during the 25th Anniversary of South by Southwest Music, Style X is the next and natural evolution of the internationally-renowned festival and conference.

Style X includes a pop-up retail showcase that will serve as the official shopping experience of SXSW with dozens of brands from around the country bringing the latest designs in screenprinting and design, women’s, menswear, streetwear, swimwear and accessories. Also, Style By will host multiple fashion shows, each celebrating a different segment of style. Stay tuned for more information on the runway shows.

Music has always been a source for fashion trends and style and Style X is the world’s first event bringing those two together with a keen focus on the up-and-coming. Just as the music, film and technology makers reflect the innovative and creative capital of their respective industries, Style X will represent the inventive and inspired work of style makers from all over the world. They will be from places as far as Houston and Hong Kong and they will offer everything from eyeglasses and t-shirts to dresses and sneakers. The style will be by them, but this event will be for you.

Location Radio Day Stage Austin Convention Center
eventtype  Music
Artists  J Mascis
event::about  J Mascis is probably best known as the frontman of the highly influential indie rock trio Dinosaur Jr. With acclaimed LPs like 1987's You're Living All Over Me and 1988's Bug, the group emerged among the most highly regarded in alternative rock history, with Mascis' brilliant volume infused guitar heroics becoming a primary influence on the burgeoning 'grunge' movement - Mascis was also credited by many for single-handedly bringing back the guitar solo to underground and indie rock. By reintroducing volume and attack in his songs Mascis shed the strict limitations of early 1980's hardcore and practically reinvented punk rock in the process. Mascis' body of work continues to inspire a generation of guitar players and songwriters today. In 1991, Dinosaur Jr. disbanded and Mascis released More Light, his first recording under the moniker J Mascis + The Fog. With its revolving line-up of stellar musicians J Mascis + The Fog continues to churn out new material and tour frequently. Members and collaborators of the Fog have included Mike Watt (Minutemen / fIREHOSE), Ron Asheton (the Stooges), Robert Pollard (Guided By Voices), Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) Dave Schools (Stockholm Syndrome / Widespread Panic) and Kyle Spence (Harvey Milk). Aside from his work with The Fog, Mascis finds himself behind the drums in the band Witch, and most recently playing guitar with garage rockers Sweet Apple. He is also known to perform solo acoustic proving that there are truly no limitations to his abilities. Fans of Mascis' huge guitar wails will not be disappointed by his intimate acoustic performances as he always brings in plenty of pedals to pepper these performances with the sonically enhanced solos he's best known for. In addition to his own work Mascis has been heavily involved behind the scenes appearing on, producing, and mixing records for a string of highly regarded acts like: fIREHOSE, Tad, Buffalo Tom, Beachwood Sparks, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, The Breeders and many others. J Mascis has also composed music for film and has occasionally appeared in films such as Alison Anders acclaimed Gas, Food and Lodging. When the original line up of Mascis, Lou Barlow on bass and drummer Murph re-formed in 2005 for select live dates it was apparent that the years apart had not eroded any of their vitality. Restoring the sound established by the opening hat-trick gambit of Dinosaur, You're Living All Over Me, and Bug, 2007's Beyond continued the band's march into rock greatness by making old ears smile and new ears bleed afresh. In 2009 the band released Farm, Dinosaur Jr.'s first double LP and their fifth full length record by the original line-up, an album propelled by the unique energy of one of America's greatest living rock bands hitting their stride.

eventtype  Music
Artists  Pepper Rabbit
event::about  Pepper Rabbit formed when the band’s principal songwriter, Xander Singh, was recording what was to be a solo album in New Orleans. Eventually, he recognized in his friend, Luc Laurent, an excellent drummer and musical companion. The two joined forces and named themselves Pepper Rabbit, playing scattered shows in New Orleans and at such events like the Pop Montreal Music Festival. Xander and Luc relocated to the West Coast, and the band have now toured the area several times and garnered a devoted following of fellow psych-pop enthusiasts through word-of-mouth, blog buzz, and their incredible live shows. Live, the band rely on samplers, loopers and their raw talent to create a soundscape that is meant to transport the audience to whatever psychedelic realm the band deem fitting. Beauregard will be released October 26th with a national tour to follow and, surely, widespread critical acclaim. L.A. may be a wild and crazy place, but Pepper Rabbit have shaped a truly inspiring, tranquil world amidst the chaos, and that is no small feat. Keep your ears peeled, and follow them into the future.
