SXSW Music Review: Omar Apollo

Born Omar Velasco to Mexican parents who clawed their way into the United States, it’s no surprise that the soulfully psychedelic R&B musician now going by Omar Apollo loses all inhibition while performing.

SXSW Music Review: Moritz Simon Geist/Daniel Brandt

If robots are coming to replace you, Moritz Simon Geist is a creative oracle. Five small bots set up like high-tech dioramas on stage at Seven Grand on Wednesday “played” techno with Geist at the helm tinkering, but maybe tomorrow they’ll play you like a fiddle.

SXSW Music Review: Byrke Lou

Algorhythmist Byrke Lou sparks live code into audio at interfacing crossroads that remained a visual mystery. Intending to project the real-time scrolls of her woman-machine interactions, the Berlin physicist met her match in technical difficulties. Germany Music Night host Christopher Schrag thus implored the audience to “feel the code.”

SXSW Music Review: Boy Better Know Collective

Boy Better Know, a grime collective from the United Kingdom best known for JME and Skepta, revels in solidarity. Headlining halfway across the world from his London home, Frisco (Deshane Cornwall) turned in a pungent, boisterous culmination to Tuesday night’s 13-act installation at Scratchouse.

SXSW Music Review: Husky Loops

Frantic mellow tantric came alive Tuesday night as Husky Loops activated a chunk of their slim but compact discography onstage at Seven Grand. The trio microdosed cross-sections of genre over twisting, tuning-fork arrangements.

SXSW Music Review: Vaarwell/The Fur

Tuesday evening proved difficult for Vaarwell and the Fur, freshman indie bands who traveled from overseas to Irish pub BD Riley’s, but both acts survived a typical SXSW trial by fire.

SXSW Music Review: Kokoko!

Tuesday night, as a mismatched crowd of SXSW Music nomads and Rico Nasty die-hards waited for Kokoko! at the old Emo’s – now Main and Main II – the collective high from Japanese grind punks Otoboke Beaver’s opening act soon waned into curious confusion. A filling room watched traditional guitars and drums being replaced with instruments made from trash.

Noname Makes a Name for Herself at Emo’s

Early on, Fatimah Warner fell for rhyme. Participation in Chicago’s slam poetry competitions soon turned into freestyle rap battles with her peers, eventually leading to her path crossing with that of Chance the Rapper. During her very first feature on his Acid Rap track “Lost,” Warner began making a name for herself.
