After postponing our interview with Blood Red Shoes at Shaky Knees until after The Gaslight Anthem went on (none of us were willing to miss it), we finally met up with the band in the press tent. The interview started off with Steven being in a bit of a “silly mood,” slow to take things…

Shaky Knees 2014: The Whigs x Vinyl Mag
If you follow us on social media, you already know we pretty much had a blast of a time at Shaky Knees this past weekend. But aside from seeing an impressive amount of impressively talented artists, we also got to talk to a few of them (impressed?). Fellow Athens natives, The Whigs, played the festival…
SXSW 2014: The Modern Electric x Vinyl Video
After running into Black Taxi at The Blind Pig in downtown Austin at South by Southwest, we were introduced (OMG passive voice – I’m so sorry, Mrs. Browning) to their friends and fellow musicians, The Modern Electric. We took advantage of this newly formed relationship and decided to do an(other) impromptu interview in the alley…
SXSW 2014: Black Taxi x Vinyl Video
We ran into our friends from Black Taxi at South by Southwest this year – in total honesty, I heard their music playing while I was outside conducting another interview, and once I wrapped that one up, I quickly ran to follow the sound and catch BT’s show at The Blind Pig. After their show,…
SXSW 2014: Two Cow Garage x Vinyl Video
We caught up with Two Cow Garage at South by Southwest this year to talk about their album The Death of the Self-Preservation Society, their Indiegogo Campaign, their thoughts on audio formats, and their revolutionary new use for feral cats. These guys are the bomb.
SXSW 2014: Rebecca & Fiona x Vinyl Video
We snuck into the upstairs at the Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin at South by Southwest for our interview Rebecca & Fiona, two kick-ass DJs all the way in from Stockholm, Sweden. Check out the Vinyl Video below where I nod too much, and we talk about Rebecca & Fiona’s music, their problem with being…
SXSW 2014: ††† x Vinyl Video
“YOU GET TO INTERVIEW CHINO?!?!?!” That was pretty much the response from everyone I told that I was going to interview ††† (Crosses) at South by Southwest this year. You may mostly know Chino Moreno as Deftones‘ lead singer/guitarist, but if your knowledge of this dude stops there, allow me to educate you. Deftones isn’t even…

SXSW 2014: Black Lips x Vinyl Mag
Happy Birthday to me. I got the chance to wake up on my birthday at South by Southwest and drive straight to an interview with The Black Lips. Not a bad start to a day. We sat down at their hotel on the fourth day of SXSW to talk about BL’s latest album, Underneath the…
SXSW 2014: Cherub x Vinyl Video
This was one of my favorites. Last day of South by Southwest. Exhausted. My feet fell off somewhere on Sixth Street the night before. Pretty much ready to take a nap on the sidewalk. Completely ignoring all of that, because I get to interview Cherub, and there is no way not to be pumped about…
