SXSW 2014: Little Daylight x Vinyl Mag
One of my favorite interviews of South by Southwest this year was with Little Daylight. I sat down with members Nikki Taylor, Matt Lewkowicz and Eric Zeiler to discuss their love of remixes, the power of caffeine and their future plans. Please listen to this band. You will like them as much as we do….
Wide-Awake Makeup Tutorial
Ahh, nothing like forthcoming finals to make you remember that your skin is not invincible. The stress, lack of sleep and crappy food can all add up to a big, ruddy mess on your face. But I’ve devised a face makeup routine that will totally cover those purple bags, dull skin, and any blemishes you…
SXSW 2014: Bright Light Social Hour x Vinyl Mag
In the trendy East Sixth Street district, I watched Bright Light Social Hour rock the backyard of the local dive bar, Liberty. Hot, sweaty and dusty, surrounded by long beards and longer hair, I could sense right away how at home this Austin-based band was. After we loaded up with tacos at the East Side…
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…
SXSW 2014: Spirit Animal x Vinyl Mag
There are many factors that go into scheduling interviews during the chaotic week that is South by Southwest; luckily, the scheduling aspect is completely taken care of by the brains behind this whole operation, Emily McBride. Upon receiving my schedule and reviewing it thoroughly, my interview with Spirit Animal stuck out for a few different…
SXSW 2014: De Lux x Vinyl Mag
Sean Guerin and Isaac Franco are a duo from California that wants to make you dance. If dancing isn’t necessarily your thing, you’re at least going to consider it. Their musical influences alone say great things for these two, but the self-described “new wave disco” music that they create is on a playing field of…
SXSW 2014: Cash Cash x Vinyl Mag
It was an unexpected delight on a hot day of SXSW to share ice cream sundae’s and brownies a la mode at Moonshine’s with the down to earth guys of Cash Cash. Though I was not surprised by their casual and comfortable nature – these three childhood best friends and two brothers, Jean Paul Makhlouf,…
SXSW 2014: Luke Winslow-King x Vinyl Mag
You may remember that we all went gaga over Luke Winslow-King‘s album The Coming Tide about a year ago. This gent is brilliant, and we still haven’t gotten over it. So, of course, we had to snag an interview with him this year at his showcase at the Bloodshot Records Yard Dog Day Party to…
SXSW 2014: Samsaya x Vinyl Video
We found our way to the Hilton rooftop pool (life is sooo hard) in downtown Austin during South by Southwest for this picturesque interview with “magma pop” sensation, Samsaya. This girl is seriously the bomb. Before SXSW, I was totally obsessed with her music (everyone should get after her track “Stereotype”), and now I’m totally…
SXSW 2014: Moon Taxi x Vinyl Mag
I was super pumped when I learned that I was going to get to interview Moon Taxi at South by Southwest this year. Having been a fan for years, I’ve seen them live quite a few times (it doesn’t hurt that I’m from Nashville, Moon Taxi’s city of origin). I loved them first as a…
