I haven’t managed to blog to the end of my SXSW jaunt yet. The days are starting to merge in a colourful swirl of music and burritos. While making mixes I get flashbacks (to the bands that is, not so much the burritos) when I recognise a band.
Here’s Tashaki Miyaki. Before seeing them playing I had assumed that they were from Japan, but no, they are from LA with a female drummer on vocals. A Jesus and Mary Chain sound, wonderful.
(click above to listen to the tunes on Grooveshark)
“..and don’t send me any of that wimpy stuff.” So I didn’t.
I get lost on Bandcamp and here is what I found…
Cover and tunes on the way.
First up Motopony from Seattle, a one man band that recently got bigger and now make hard-soul/glitch-folk indie-rock. Great video and love the song. No so sure about the rabbit (?) fur jacket.
Little Scout practice dreampop from Melbourne.
Buy Yung Life from his bandcamp page, or download it for free. His bedroom experimental music comes to you from Knoxville, Tennessee.
Acid Flashback have no existence apart from the playlist on their Myspace page.
Neat Beats can be found on Bandcamp where they peddle their wonky trip-hop. They hail from San Diego. Buy their music in bits and bytes or in vinyl.
Korea in the Space, yeah, naff name and very unhelpful team photo. From Pittsburgh. This track and others free on bandcamp if you like their twitchy lofi.
Klaus Von Barrel, aka Die Jungen – hails from Southampton. This does little to explain the name, or the photo below… Wistful. Free from bandcamp.
Shimmering Stars make spare yet beaty musak. From Vancouver. Music here on bandcamp.
Teen Suicide, not sure where they are from, probably not the London band of the same name. This track from their album, Bad Vibes For Ever – glum.. Free on bandcamp.
Deamdate – Anna Hillburg (bass, vocals) and Yea-Ming Chen (guitar, vocals) from Oakland, California. Less wistful, tuneful. 
The Handsome Family – serious about their music, or even just serious.
Steffalo – from LA, has recorded with Blackbird blackbird. Buy her tunes here.
J. Irvín Dally – Californian artist. Too talented for his own good. Visit bandcamp for more.
Youth Lagoon – ditto.
