Elway Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 What are some good bands to be on the lookout for this year, particulary from the UK region? I don't mean angsty indie snobs either. Or better yet, what are some albums to be on the look out for in the coming weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauiwi Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Great thread idea. I'd love for people to link some reviews from SXSW 2011, so we can get a rough idea of the new talent picked up amongst those amazing other shows (the strokes, Kanye, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yuck made quite the splash at SXSW. so they're an act worth looking out for in 2011. has everyone heard Adrian Lux? the sweedish producer. if you're an american looking for a good brit band then Noah and the Whale is one you should keep an eye for. they've been doing well every where else for the last couple of years and are now trying to break the States. also the Vaccines are due to do big things his year. thats about all i've heard from SXSW. the main appeal for me of the festival would be the number of surprises performance and intimate performances. the stand outs have been foo fighters did a surprise show to launch their dvd, jack white did a short performance outside of his caravan, the strokes did a free show that caused a riot as did Death From Above 1979 and kanye west brought on the who's who of hip hop at his invite only show. tv on the radio showcased their new album.

Italian Plastic Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 there's always a New Zealand showcase. But apparently it's one of the most depressing shows to play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Josh T Pearson is the highlight for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Death From Above 1979's reunion in a small venue caused some chaos http://exclaim.ca/News/death_from_above_1979_reunion_gig_causes_riot_at_sxsw Basia Bulat covered the Strokes http://www.chromewaves.net/2011/03/basia-bulat-covers-the-strokes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 2011 SXSW Showcasing Acts[/url] Hopefully, this helps. thats the only i have with SXSW. there are too many bands which makes it really hard to follow. and they're almost always overshadowed by established bands doing "secret" shows.
