The SXSW festival is just around the corner and final details about the line-up of bands playing official showcases has been released. Among the many fine artists and bands that will attend SXSW this year are The Sonics, GoldieLocks, Abe Vigoda, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Snake and Jet’s Amazing Bullit Band, Soft Pack, School of Seven Bells, Vetiver, Vivian Girls and many many more... heck, I don't even know half.One of the coolthings about the SXSW festival is that every year, simultaneously with announcing the full list of performing artists and bands, they make a song available for download for many of the bands. It’s a great way of getting new and free songs for your collection as well discovering some of the many up and coming acts.
Here are a few of my select favorites of the available downloads... and since they're all free I don't see why you shouldn't give them all a listen.
GoldieLocks – Cold Sweat (here), Abe Vigoda – Don’t Lie (here), School of Seven Bells - Half Asleep (here), PowerSolo - Pirates of the Oblivion (here), Hatcham Social – So So Happy Making (here), Au Revoir Simone – A Violent Yet Flammable World (here), We Have Band – Hear It In Cans (here), The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Come Saturday (here), Port O’Brien – I Woke Up Today (here), Dananananaykroyd - Pink Sabbath (here), The Von Bondies - This Is Our Perfect Crime (here), Futurecop! - NASA (here), HEALTH - Crimewave (here), The Forms - Red Gun (here), Snake and Jet's Amazing Bullit Band - Ten Cities Beyond (here), and many many more (all here)… you should really check them all out. So much great music, so little time.
