Daily Music - The Austin Chronicle

“Cops can’t stop the rock!” So declared Partner’s Lucy Niles at Sahara Lounge on Tuesday afternoon after permit problems forced She Shreds magazine’s day party to relocate from Kinda Tropical following Shamir’s set. The scramble meant shortened set times and cancellations, but the packed Eastside soul shack thrummed with the triumph of pulling it off.

SXSW Music Review: RVG

People play music and form bands for all kinds of reasons: fame, fortune, sex. The primary compulsion remains self-expression, of course, the need to say something through art, even if no one who hears or understands what that something may be.

SXSW Music Review: Pussy Riot

It felt like chaos, a mental mugging. The first of two official SXSW showcases from Muscovites Pussy Riot, Tuesday evening at the old Emo’s on the corner of Sixth and Red River (now the Main and Main II), staged a political protest more so than a musical performance.

SXSW Music Review: Discover Denton Showcase

No secret Denton’s musical impact far outweighs the relative size of the North Texas college town, but Monday’s opening night SXSW showcase packed the inside of Sidewinder with something to prove.
