SXSW 2018: Sun Seeker

Here's a band out of Nashville that plays psych rock/Americana.  Their EP was released on Jack White's Third Man Records.  They did a session on World Cafe, too.  Not bad for a bunch of kids that just turned 21. 

Nice sound.  A little Whitney mixed with Chris Isaak maybe?

SXSW 2018: Haley Heynderickx

It's that time again: time to start researching which bands we want to check out at SXSW.  I'll start with a quirky song by a musician from Portland.  Stereogum calls her "An Artist to Watch".  Her first album comes out March 2nd.

She's got a little Hooray for the Riff Raff sound mixed with Joni Mitchell.

LCD Soundsystem: American Dream

Now that we have Amazon Music streaming we haven't been buying as many CDs.  Harder to share so instead I'm going to try posting albums I like here so you can take a listen.  First is pretty obvious but I wanted to post this song that's further down the tracklist.  Really good.  It's the one that got Rae spontaneously dancing on Labor Day Weekend.

ACL 2017: Playlist

Here's a playlist of most of the newer bands that I liked.  Easier than going back to all the individual posts to discover what you want to see.

ACL 2017

ACL 2017: Badbadnotgood

Sunday at 6:15pm.  Time to wrap this up.  I guess Head and the Heart is our option at this time.  This band out of Toronto got popular making jazz-influenced covers of hip-hop songs.  Pitchfork called them a hip-hop jam band.  A quirky concept that may be interesting to see live.

This song is more R&B/lounge music and was the best one I heard.  That and "Chompy's Paradise".
