This band starts out SXSanJose Saturday. Their bandcamp says:
The Bures Band is a Folk Rock group from Perth, West Australia. The band formed in October 2022 and is made up of three primary song writers who came together over a shared taste in late 60s/70s music.
"Let In Outside" is good.
This is a throwback to CSNY or The Byrds.
This is a late addition to Luck Reunion. She's from Houston and is playing the Jack Daniel's Stage That is inside the small Jack Daniel's building. It may be hard to get into it.
"Frown Lines" is a nice song. Her voice reminds me of Traci Chapman.
This is her first music video. Her album is coming out on Thirty Tigers. Expect big things.
This band out of Mexico City is playing Paste on Monday the 16th at 3pm. They are also playing SXSanjose tomorrow (Thursday the 12th). No time yet.
The SXSW bio just says: "Psychedelic Punk in Spanish. Forced Jazz meditation."
Here they are live on KEXP. They're also playing the Downright on Tuesday the 17th at 2pm as part of KEXP's El Sonido Live! day party.
Nice chill sounds.
This artist is playing the Paste Party at 2pm on Monday the 16th. Per the SXSW bio:
Buddy Red is the Southern blues artist delivering the raw, cinematic sound of the Black American experience. A vocalist, guitarist, and preacher of truth, he stands where the cosmic mystique of Jimi Hendrix meets the uncompromising funk of James Brown and the psychedelic scope of Pink Floyd. A fixture of Atlanta's legendary Northside Tavern, Buddy is a vital voice recognized for his visceral guitar work and impassioned storytelling.
This interview says:
Many first met him as Messiah Harris, son of hip-hop legend T.I. and stepson of Tiny Harris, on their reality show T.I and Tiny:The Family Hustle. Now, Buddy Red makes it clear he isn’t building his brand on anyone’s name but his own.
In our conversation, he opens up about what it means to be a rocker raised in a home rooted in R&B and hip-hop, how he carved out space for a sound that didn’t match his surroundings, and how picking up a guitar — and stepping fully into blues, rock and psychedelic funk — helped him find his voice, his purpose and his freedom of expression
"When I Dream" is live. Definitely a Hendrix vibe. He jams at the end.
This is good, too.
This is another recommended artist from the Statesman. According to Wikipedia:
Tasmin Nicole Stephens (born 2003), also known as TTSSFU, is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Manchester. She[a] played guitar in the post punk band Duvet and has since gained prominence as a solo artist in the shoegaze and dream pop genres.
The Statesman article says:
she’s from Wigan, England. She creates wispy-voiced, ethereally arranged, industrial rock with a ‘90s edge. Crack Magazine notes it captures the malaise of what it’s like to live in Wigan, partying in dives.
She plays the Paste Party Monday the 16th at 1pm.
"Forever" is good. Right in my wheelhouse.
This is her most streamed song. Could be a good way to start the day.
