I’ve been a bit busy this week preparing for SXSW. I want to bring you the very best coverage I can (partying it up with Racheal Ray and The Hold Steady) so I’ve been lacking a bit on the writing this week. I’d like to attempt to make it up to you by putting together this list of mp3s from the SXSW website of bands playing at the festival. There are hundreds of songs available, and I’ve just gone through and chosen a few that I really like. In case you only have time for a few, I’ve put *’s next to the ones I think are both most exciting and also newer. If you like these, you should check out the website. They have tons of free music, and give descriptions of each band. So, if you’re feeling adventurous check it out!
MP3: “I Woke Up Today” – Port O’Brien
MP3: “Wild One” – Those Darlins*
MP3: “Fangela” – Here We Go Magic
MP3: “Rise Above” – Dirty Projectors
MP3: “Come Saturday” – The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
MP3: “It Gets Your Body Moving” – Suckers
