South by Southwest

By Chip Midnight Direct from the SXSW site: Direct from the SXSW site: SXSW Music is excited to announce our first round of bands who will be performing at SXSW 2010! * Giulia y los Tellarini; Barcelona, Spain * The Hong Kong Blood Opera; Hermosillo, Mexico * Archie Bronson Outfit; London, England [...]

By Robert Duffy SXSW is the greatest music festival, hands down. Don’t forget to get some vitamins in you during SXSW. Pizza is delicious, though. It was great meeting old and new friends alike. For readers of DW who aren’t into SXSW, coverage is over! (for now) 2010 SXSW can’t come soon enough.

By Robert Duffy The first full day of SXSW music has passed and I have the aching feet to prove it. Watching music from 12pm to 1:30am is hard work people, but I do it for you. The day started at the Austinist party with Garotas Suecas, a band made up a bunch of 19 year old Brazilian [...]

By Robert Duffy Austin, we meet again. You’re as wonderful as I remember you. I got into town yesterday around 4pm. Hotel check in, badge check in, good to go. I’m always amazed at how friendly the volunteers of SXSW are. Everyone is in a good mood and it lasts the whole week during the festival. It’s [...]

By Chip Midnight I’m no stranger to Joey Stevens’ music, I used to work with his cousin Arlene and she was always happily passing along burned CD-Rs full of his stuff to me. Not really easy to describe what he was doing then (or is doing now with Rumspringa) but it’s sort of a mix of roots rock [...]

By Chip Midnight Though you’ve got some dates leading up to SXSW, do you consider the music festival your true coming out party? I noticed only a showcase SXSW gig on your MySpace page. Will you be performing at any parties? Will you be hanging out in Austin for a few days and, if so, any bands that you’re intere...

By Robert Duffy If you haven’t figured this out by now, I love SXSW. Being asked to join this panel is a real honor to me and definitely a highlight of the 6 years I’ve been doing donewaiting.com. I’ve been to the festival five out of the last six years. Once I went to the entire festival, from tech to film to music, b...

By Robert Duffy We’ve split the list up into two categories: CONFIRMED BY SXSW and NOT CONFIRMED BY SXSW. There is no middle ground. The unconfirmed list is a mixture of band’s Myspace accounts (a large majority), news articles, e-mails and other shadow sources. Sometimes bands list SXSW but what they real...

By Robert Duffy She ran through a set of covers (Cold War Kids, Beirut) and originals that really showcased her vocal range. And oh her lyrics! Whether it was singing about a woman whose eye she had to cut out (see mp3 above), or a bird she had to kill to stop talking, each song was just a delight to hear.

By Robert Duffy The evening began with my UK cousin Duffy at Stubb’s. I had been listening to her album for awhile now and was hoping that she would be able to pull it off live. And.. she did! I know people are going to want to peg her as the new Amy Winehouse, but I think there’s a lot more going on than just that.

By Robert Duffy Evening started at the Big Shout Touring evening showcase with Ravens and Chimes (mp3). I described them as Arcade Fire meets Polyvinyl Records, if that means anything to anyone. I enjoyed their set, wish they sold their record at the show.

By Chip Midnight While we wait for the Donewaiting crew stationed in Austin to wake from their slumber and blog about last night’s festivities (sadly, I had to cancel my plans to go to Austin this year), let’s see what a few people had to saw about R.E.M.’s performance at Stubb’s.

By Kevin J Elliott Read a full review of For Emma, Forever Ago on World of Wumme. At my first SXSW, ’round the turn of the century, before iphones, bit torrents, and blogs, my posse seemed stalked by Matt Suggs of Butterglory. Every year since there’s always one band that tends to follow me through my Austin adve...

We received a few of those emails today, many of which had dates that included Austin during SXSW week. Here’s the latest list of bands that you can expect to see at SXSW: Hotel Cafe tour featuring Ingrid...

The Donewaiting.com SXSW blog's main mission is to be a constant flow of information about the festival.
