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: Blouse x Vinyl Mag
We caught up with Portland-based Blouse at South by Southwest this year to talk about Debbie Harry, New Zealand, bassist Paul’s alter ego and their changing sound! Enjoy, and then stalk them for tour dates. They’re definitely a band to see live. Vinyl Mag: How has Austin been? Have you done anything crazy yet for…
SXSW 2014: The Silver Palms x Vinyl Mag
The Silver Palms are a pretty unique band, and I’m not just talking about their sound (which is pretty damn rad – be sure to grab a listen below). The Camden, Georgia-based band sat down with us at South by Southwest this year to talk about their hatred of Subway, how good-looking they are and what’s…
SXSW 2014: Hundred Waters x Vinyl Mag
We here at Vinyl are not quite sure how to classify Hundred Waters. Are they indie? Are they electronic? Are they alternative? Perhaps their unclassifiable and refreshing sound is why we like them so much. Based out of Gainesville, Florida, all four members completed their self-titled album while attending the University of Florida (I guess…
SXSW 2014: Lily & the Parlour Tricks x Vinyl Mag
Lily & the Parlour Tricks is a soulful sextuplet based out of NYC. According to their bio – and evident in their sound – their influences range from The Andrews Sisters all the way to The White Stripes. During South by Southwest, we sat down with Lily, Brian, Terry, Morgane, Angelo, and Darah to see…
SXSW 2014: Blondfire x Vinyl Video
It’s no secret that we at Vinyl have love for Blondfire. It all started at South by Southwest 2013 when we saw them play a show at The Belmont with Sirah, Charli XCX, Icona Pop, Rockie Fresh, Action Bronson and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (um…best lineup ever?). Since then, we’ve been hooked. We sat down…
SXSW 2014: SW/MM/NG x Vinyl Mag
As a seasoned SXSW attendee (two consecutive years constitutes as seasoned, right?), I’ve come to realize that – while not many – there are a few things you are guaranteed take with you from your experience. You will, without a doubt, always leave with a full backpack-worth of “swag”- koozies, stickers, matches, sunglasses, t-shirts, CDs…
SXSW 2014: Bert McCracken x Vinyl Mag
As frontman of the well-known rock band The Used hailing from Orem, Utah, Bert McCracken is far from inexperienced in both performing and interviewing. During SXSW, we were lucky enough to sit down and talk with the veteran rocker for a few minutes of his jam-packed schedule. Despite his experience, we chatted about how he…
SXSW 2014: Charli XCX x Vinyl Video
Reunited, and it feels so badass! You know it’s going to be a good SXSW when your first interview is a follow-up with pop princess Charli XCX. You may remember her from our video interview last year. OR you may know her from her awesome collaborations with artists like Icona Pop and Iggy Azalea (no, but…
SXSW 2014: Aer x Vinyl Mag
New-age hip hop duo, Aer, is comprised of Boston natives Carter Schultz and David Von Mering. Having just released their sophomore album earlier in March, the evolution in their style over the years is not only prevalent, but pioneer-style impressive. During SXSW, and (literally) hours into their arrival in Austin, we sat down with the…
