tunes - sxsw parties

big news today! i'm excited to announce i will be heading back to austin for sxsw. i've been a part of that wildly entertaining festival since 2005 and i can't wait to return for my 8th year.

i'll be busy running around town for 10 days, so i'll be sure to post festival highlights including surprise shows, buzz bands, cool technology discoveries and oh-so much more.

for those of you that will be able to enjoy the festival at your own leisure, i've created a party board on pinterest. i will continue to update this board until the festival kicks off on friday, march 8th, so keep checking in.

a select few top party picks below:


new zealand music commission on 3/13 @ brush square park
the jams: ghost wave. think 1950's surfer meets ariel pink's haunted graffiti meets tame impala. this party is always packed, so get there early.


kgsr's live radio broadcast 3/13 - 3/16 @ the w
the jams: i worked for the emmis austin radio cluster for a few years back when i was in austin, so this morning broadcast session is very near and dear to my heart. i know it's early, but it's totally worth it! acts include: iron & wine, nakia, alpha rev, divine fits, kodaline, matt nathanson


paste magazine's party 3/13-3/16 @ the stages on sixth
the jams. this is a four day event with a ton of great bands: thao & the get down stay down, ron sexsmith, lissie, josh ritter, dawes, city & colour, billy bragg, allah-lahs. try to cameo.


the future of music showcase on 3/15 @ shiner's saloon
the jams: sorne. if you don't know anything about this brilliant artist, catch yourself up. and quickly. he's taking off at record speed.
