SXSW 2014: The Stargazer Lilies x Vinyl Video
On our last night of South by Southwest, we got a cleansing escape from the overwhelming crowd and bustle to head to the Graveface Records/Noisy Ghost PR showcase in the middle of nowhere in a secluded garden dreamland called Tillery Park. It was there that we came across dreamy duo The Stargazer Lilies who just got off of…
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: Misun x Vinyl Mag
LA-based Misun met with us at South by Southwest to talk about their music (self-described as “spaghetti soul-dance”), their South by Southwest experience, leprosy from armadillos and Jon’s caffeine addiction. Check out our interview below, and then be sure to catch these guys on tour — they are truly, uniquely, awesome. Vinyl Mag: So how…
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: HEARTSREVOLUTION x Vinyl Mag
Leyla ‘Lo’ Safai and Ben Pollock make up New York-based HEARTSREVOLUTION. From embracing the food truck era by turning an ice cream truck into their tricked-out bandwagon, to graffiti “he(art)” via stuffed animals, to the synth-punk-magic-pop music they create, how these two even found the time to speak with us at Vinyl Mag at South…
SXSW 2014: Bonzie x Vinyl Mag
Nina Ferraro (Bonzie) isn’t your typical young college girl. While most girls her age would choose to spend their Spring Break on a beach somewhere taking Jell-O shots (I know I did), Bonzie chose to spend hers at South by Southwest, playing shows and pursuing her music career. Par for the course for someone who started…
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…
