I met Mr. Baxter about three years ago in the cold, windy city of Boston, MA. I was attending a Grace Potter and The Nocturnals show and I was lucky enough to see Rayland open for her with a small acoustic set. Fast forward to present day, and I am now sitting here on the […]

For a first timer, and even for a seasoned veteran, going to the South By Southwest music festival in Austin can be very overwhelming and can easily go from a good time to feeling like a chore. Thankfully there are some amazing people out there who are here to help!
Remember when The Weeknd performed at SXSW in March? Remember when he started jamming out to a mystery song that everyone thought was named “Mood Music”? Well, after a few months of anxiously waiting, the mystery has finally been solved and the artist/producer finally dropped the CDQ version of “The Hills.”
Imagine wanting a pizza in the east downtown area of an unfamiliar city. Naturally, you should order it from the man who is selling it out of his home. This is the reason Pile is and will remain one of my favorite bands. They had ordered pizza online from a guy who makes it in […]
SXSW is one of the worlds largest music conferences where fans and industry professionals come together to discover new artists, music, films, etc. By far the biggest part of SXSW however, is music week. Music week this year ran from March 17-21st and I got to be there for 3 crazy filled days to see […]
I met with Handsomebeast, a Houston band who classifies themselves as a funky-space-rock-bump-n-grind genre, at Spider House this past weekend in Austin. In a world where everything is classified as indie rock it was refreshing that a sub-category was provided. The boys grew up in the same part of town and all ended up at Loyola […]
The 21 year old rapper from England flew all the way to Austin to perform at SXSW and had the crowd at the Dr. Martens/Culture Collide house grooving the whole time.

The Palm on 6th st. was a full house and for good reason. Not only was the headliner for the evening Too $hort, but names like King Chip, Freddie Gibbs, Slim Thug and Trae the Truth were on the bill as well. The Saturday night evening was put on by Empire Distribution and they really […]
Thursday night, after enduring the terrible disappointment of not being able to see Incubus, I took a break and met with an old friend. We decided to hit dirty sixth, which is an area that frightens me. We ended up hearing some good music coming out of The Dizzy Rooster so we went in there […]
I was able to meet with punk band, GYMSHORTS, from Providence, Rhode Island in a quaint alley near Hotel Vegas in Austin before their set this past Wednesday. I was joined by the whole band which consists of lead vocalist Sarah, guitarist Devin, bassist Michael and drummer Chris. It was short, to the point, and […]
Aside from the big artists at SXSW, the festival was primarily created to support the local musicians as well as the up and coming artists. Hiatus Kaiyote is a neo-soul group from Melbourne, Australia who made their first debut at SXSW. The group performed at Parish Hall venue on 6th street, an intimate setting at the end […]
Waking up on Friday and hearing rain was instantly a downer for me. The week had been so beautiful and I never check the weather so I was taken by surprise. I hate being in the rain! My schedule since arriving has been all business so I didn’t have a chance to do what I […]
As if one set wasn’t enough, Doomtree performed twice on Thursday night at Karma Lounge. The official SXSW showcase was packed both times that Doomtree took the stage. The collective hip hop group took Karma and turned it into a straight party. Doomtree is comprised of seven members, and each had a hand in giving […]
