MVs Collection #02 ( SXSW 2009 Edition )

Posted on March 7, 2009 |

I’ll be posting my annual SXSW podcast on Wednesday but here’s the thing …
had so many choices in what I wanted to feature for this year’s festivities
that I had to cut my playlist way the frak down.

So, why not use those that were left out and present them in a MVs Collection’s
posting.

Hence these picks of bands I’ve played on my show before (some more than once)
and these very picks I plan on seeing when i’m in Austin 9 days from now.

Dredg – “Same ‘Ol Road”

This song is from their 2002 album “El Cielo”.

Their 2005 album “Catch Without Arms” was my favorite of that year so saying that
I’m eagerly anticipating their new album “The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion”
would be an understatement.

It’s coming out May 19 on their own label Ohlone Recordings. They’re doing only
two shows at SXSW both starting at 1am, March 21st @ Buffalo Billiards and the
next day @ Emo’s Jr.

They’ll be on tour till the end of April.

Sadly no Canadian dates.

The bastards.

The Bird And The Bee – “Love Letter To Japan”

They to have two shows set up on March 21st, first one @ Karma Lounge at the
stroke of midnight then at 6pm for an in-store performance @ Waterloo Records
which I’m very excited about since i’ve heard only good things about the place.


Shad – “The Old Prince Still Lives At Home”

The pride and joy of London, Ontario and by far the best hip hopper we got
north of the border today.

This video is Shad’s take on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air‘s opening credits on
a very limited budget and by god he pulled it off quite well.

He’ll be at South By trying to impress the industry big whigs and he’ll blow
them away no doubt. You’ll be able to catch him this summer on the Warped Tour.

March 20th @ Wave at 8pm then @ The Music Gym Patio — 11:55pm.
March 21st @ SESAC Day Stage Cafe Austin Convention Center — 2:30pm.

School Of Seven Bells – “Half Asleep”

Doing 4 shows in 2 days one being in the backlot of a Urban Outfitters store.

March 19th @ Buffalo Billiards — midnight.
March 20th @ Emo’s Jr. — 3pm
March 20th @ Radio Room Patio — 10pm
March 21st @ Urban Outfitters — 5pm

Glasvegas – “Flowers & Football Tops”

Their self-titled debut album is still in heavy rotation in my pod months after it’s release.

Even tough they’ll be in town beginning of April with their own headlining tour,
I will make it my mission to catch all their SXSW showcases which are:

March 18th @ Vice — 11:45pm
March 20th @ The Spin Magazine Party — TBD
March 20th @ La Zona Rosa — 11:30pm

    yes..PPD is a HUGE record on my radar. The tracklist appears very conceptual. Maybe some more fans will come aboard with it. Enjoy the SXSW..I’m seeing dredg in early April in Minneapolis at least 🙂
