Tomorrow! Gonna Gonna Get Down V: White Denim, Small Black, Besnard Lakes, Washed Out & More
The show will be between both the indoor and outdoor stages, and we'll have plenty of surprises for you on-site as well. Admission is free, and things get underway at 11am with a special performance by Neon Noodle, the winners of this year's FOX-7 My Teen Rocks Fox competition. Yes, that's early, but hey, it's the first day of SXSW music and you should be ready to roll. We'll see you there.
In the meantime, learn a bit more about our lineup:
White Denim 5:10 p.m. Outside
It's hard to think of a local band that's a better match for our party than White Denim. We've long been fans of the trio's psych-tinged rock'n'roll compositions, and we've followed them since their first single. Now they're signed to Downtown, have toured the world several times over, and have matured into one of the most exciting bands around. We're certainly proud to say they're from our city, and even prouder to have them headlining our event. [White Denim at Hypemachine]
The Besnard Lakes 4:20 p.m. Outside
Montreal's The Besnard Lakes were formed by married duo Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas. The group has expanded since then, and their expansive, dynamic sound reflects that growth. Their second album, The Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse, was recorded with guest appearances from Stars, The Dears and Godspeed You! Black Emperor/Silver Mt. Zion. It was nominated for a Polaris music prize in 2007. This year's release, The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night comes out March 9 on Jagjaguwar. [The Besnard Lakes at Hypemachine]
Washed Out 3:40 p.m. Outside
Washed Out is Georgian Ernest Greene, a talented young man who makes warm bedroom synth-pop and typically stays away from the stage. His debut EP, Life of Leisure first got the attention of music fans everywhere. He's been making music as Washed Out for less than a year, and worked on the songs we've heard in a small studio he built in his parent's house in rural Georgia. Since then, he's gotten married and grown his musical endeavors quite a bit. Despite previous statements saying he wouldn't tour, he will be at SX and we're happy to have him on the bill.
Phantogram 4:45 p.m. Inside
Phantogram is a Saratoga Springs-based duo: guitarist Josh Carter and keyboardist Sarah Barthel. Their psychedelic synth pop has earned them opening spots with bands like Minus The Bear, Zero 7, Ra Ra Riot, Yeasayer, Brazilian Girls and The Slip. In 2009, they signed to Barsuk, and their latest release, Eyelid Movies, is a pop gem, and a reflection of their time spent in a rural NY barn they call Harmony Lodge writing and recording. Their unique approach to beat making and melodic pop make them a perfect indoor headliner, so don't miss out on their set. [Phantogram at Hypemachine]
The core of Small Black is Josh Kolenik and Ryan Heyner, joined by Juan Pieczanski and Jeff Curtin for live shows. The young New York City-based group makes bedroom pop that blends heavily processed sounds with light, Casio-rich overtones. The hit from their EP, "Despicable Dogs" earned an 8 from Pitchfork's track review, and the Washed Out remix is just as good. They've recently signed to Jagjaguwar, who will reissue the self-titled EP as well as release their upcoming full-length later in 2010. [Small Black at Hypemachine]
Toro y Moi 1:15 p.m. Inside
Toro y Moi is Chazwick Bundick, a graphic design student from South Carolina with a penchant for blissed-out bedroom pop. Though the project began as a bedroom hobby, it grew into a full blown project, including an incredible live show. The music blends Bundick's admiration for his parents' vinyl collection, his fondness for current acts like Animal Collective and Sonic Youth, and the experimentalism he's become known for in the studio. In January, Car Park Records released his debut LP, Causers of This. [Toro y Moi at Hypemachine]
Royal Bangs 3:45 p.m. Inside
Knoxville quintet Royal Bangs have been together since 2005. Their debut LP, We Breed Champions, came out in 2008 and was released on Audio Eagle, an independent record label founded and run by Patrick Carney of The Black Keys. Their music has been described as "belting garage rock, quirky indie rock and bamboozling electronica, all served up in one smart and super-confident package, rather like a chirpier, younger, less navel-gazing Radiohead." (via) Their latest effort, Let It Beep, is an equally challenging and rewarding rock'n'roll record. We look forward to their loud and raucous show. [Royal Bangs at Hypemachine]
First Aid Kit 3:45 Greenroom
The sister duo of Johanna & Klara Söderberg (ages 18 and 15) have been making a name for themselves in their native Sweden for a while, and we're glad to see them finally coming over to the U.S. for some SXSW dates. They first caught our eye last year with their moving rendition of the Fleet Foxes' "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song", a YouTube sensation and excellent introduction to the girls' wild talents. Their soft folk vibes, paired with their angelic vocal harmonies make them an irresistible duo. They released their EP Drunken Trees on The Knife's homegrown label, Rabid Records and their full length debut, The Big Black & The Blue is out now. Check them out now, and stay tuned for chances to win a spot in our VIP green room to see them live at the day party. First Aid Kit at Hypemachine
Warpaint 2:00 p.m. Inside
Warpaint is an LA based experimental rock band consisting of Jenny Lee Lindberg (vocals/bassist), Emily Kokal (vocals/guitar), Theresa Wayman (vocals/guitar) and Stella Mozgawa (drums/keyboards). They've been Hollywood darlings for a while (Actress Shannyn Sossamon was the original drummer), but since their CMJ performance last year they've exploded. Their debut LP, Exquisite Corpse, was released on Manimal Vinyl and mixed by John Frusciante. They've signed to Rough Trade. Currently on tour with musical siblings Akron/Family (last year's Gonna Gonna Get Down headliners) the band is definitely one to watch in 2010. [Warpaint at Hypemachine]
Body Language 2:45 p.m. Inside
Body Language are another wildly talented Brooklyn-based group that for some odd reason remains unsigned. The group has been around since 2008, playing music that is influenced by everyone from the Beach Boys to St. Vincent. They've swapped remixes with Toro y Moi and will tour with Zero 7 in 2010. We're really excited to have them on the bill! [Body Language at Hypemachine]
Julianna Barwick 11:45 a.m. Inside
Brooklyn-based but Louisiana raised, Julianna Barwick makes dreamy electronic pop music that tends to hypnotize her listeners. Known for her exquisite recordings and her unique live show, Barwick is posed to become the new darling of indie rock in 2010. The New York Times said of her show, "Her ethereal multi-tracked harmonies have the devotional quality of gospel choirs, and the oddball allure of Bjork or Yoko Ono." Her latest EP, Florine earned a rave review (and an 8.2) on Pitchfork. [Julianna Barwick at Hypemachine]
Yukon Blonde 12:40 p.m. Outside
Yukon Blonde is a name you might not have heard of - yet. Yukon Blonde is Jeff Innes, Brandon Scott, Adam Newton, and Graham Jones make up this group, performing gentle folk tunes in the vein of Fleetwood Mac and Crosy, Stills and Nash (oh, and Fleet Foxes). These Canadian gents have opened for the likes of Ladyhawk, The Constantines, Jon-Rae Fletcher, Magnolia Electric Co, Black Mountain, and Women, but we predict bigger things for them very soon. Their debut full-length, out now on Nevado Records, is a beautiful collection of dreamy harmony, melodic ecstasy and layered perfection. Their live show will undoubtedly be something to behold. [Yukon Blonde at Hypemachine]
Dan Black 2:10 p.m. Outside
UK electro-pop artist Dan Black is a special gem in the pop landscape. A former member of The Servant, Black is also known as a sometimes vocalist for Italian group Planet Funk. If you've heard his stuff, you're familiar with his breakout hit "HYPNTZ", a mashup of Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize" and Rihanna's "Umbrella". His latest full-length, UN, was released February 16, 2010. The lead single, "Symphonies", was iTunes single of the week. [Dan Black at Hypemachine]
MyNameisJohnMichael 1:25 p.m. Outside
In 2007, New Orleanian John Michael Rouchell decided that in 2008, he was going to write and record one song per week under the moniker MyNameIsJohnMichael. It didn't take long for the solo project to balloon into a group effort. The show is now a six-man affair, featuring songs from Rouchell's solo days as well as new songs composed with the group. The band was nominated for a Big Easy award in 2009. Though they're unsigned for the moment, we predict that will change very soon. [MyNameisJohnMichael at Hypemachine]
Anni Rossi 12:30 p.m. Inside
She's in Chicago now, but she grew up in Minnesota, and at the ripe young age of 23, Rossi is one of the most versatile and interesting performers in indie music today. After signing to 4AD in 2008, she went into Steve Albini's Electrical Audio to record Rockwell. Her live set prominently features the viola, with drums and cello accents at times. She's toured with the Ting Tings, Camera Obscura and Headlights, and she was recently chosen by Matt Groening to perform at the edition of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival he is curating in May 2010 in Minehead, England. [Anni Rossi at Hypemachine]
All Get Out Noon Outside
South Carolina natives All Get Out are a very young band, one that we're happy to be supporting so early in the game. They've got a full-length in the works for 2010 and a stellar Daytrotter session under their belts so far. We have no doubt their set at our day party will spark interest from many, so be sure to arrive early!
