MP3: Modern Drift

Efterklang, a band we’ve written about before, has a bunch of SXSW shows coming up this week. To celebrate their festival appearance, we’ve got a sweet giveaway that honestly I’d rather keep myself… but we love you readers so we’re gonna do it anyway!

One lucky person will get a vinyl test pressing of the band’s new album Magic Chairs, a copy of the CD, stickers, and whatever else Beggars finds in their warehouse. To enter the contest, send a blank e-mail to contest@donewaiting.com with the subject line: Efterklang. A winner will randomly be chosen by the end of the week.

Now that my wife has completed her 52 Weeks of Baking project, she’s just launched a brand new blog: The Brooklyn Baker. Featuring reviews of New York bakeries, adventures in her own baking, and getting to know Brooklyn. Check it out and maybe even become a fan of Facebook.

Thanks.

Regularly scheduled programming to resume.

Full schedule here. In partnership with WOXY.

Y’all remember David Cobb, don’t ya? David’s Houston Calling column was a staple of the Donewaiting site for a few years before it outgrew this site and spun off to it’s own domain (houstoncalling.net). David’s got the advantage of living in the same state as SXSW and while it’s not exactly a short bike ride from Houston to Austin, he’s still a lot closer to the mayhem than the rest of the DW staff. David has spent the last month interviewing bands appearing at SXSW that he likes (for houstoncalling.net) and bands that he was assigned to cover (for spinner.com). In case you missed out on any of these great interviews, here they are:

• Yppah
• The Damnwells
• Midlake
• David Garza
• Ceeplus Bad Knives
• Rival Schools
• Tacks, The Boy Disaster
• Two Star Symphony
• Little Black Dress
• Scott H Biram
• Iron Age
• Waco Brothers
• The Golden Filter
• 1001 Nights Orchestra

MP3: Harmony To My Heartbeat

You may know Sally Seltmann as New Buffalo. Or maybe you’ve heard this little song she cowrote and Feist sang, “1234.” Now she’s releasing her first album under her own name on Arts & Crafts.

Sally’s got three shows during SXSW. Be sure to make it out to one of her shows if you can. (more…)

Who isn’t a fan of some old-school Sci-Fi footage, chicken suits, Humpty-Dumpty and a giant drag queen? Enjoy this quirky video from Chicago-based Skybox. (You may recognize the song from a 2009 iPod commercial.) They’ll be playing a handful of times in Austin including an official showcase on 3/18 at the Wave Rooftop. More info after the jump.

My inbox wins. I give up. I am selling it on eBay and creating a new account. So many new emails. I’ll try to parse through them for a SXSW update tonight, but in the meantime I figured I’d open up a discussion for people to post info, questions, comments, and other insults.

This is a Stalley video for his song S.T.A.L.L.E.Y. off the upcoming Ski Beatz Mixtape, 24 Hour Karate School which also features Mos Def, the Cool Kids, Jay Electronica, Curren$y, Jim Jones,Nicole Wray and more, out March 30th. This video has various people rocking Stalley’s trademark beard.

No he isn’t from Philly.

Stalley is from Massillon. Thinks about that for a second. He has already dropped a jazzhop mixtape called Mad Stalley:The Autobiography that would make Scott Storch beg to rejoin the Organix Roots and not be funny and has a bunch of projects with whose who in modern Low End Theory land on deck.

But he isn’t from Philly or Queens.
Fucking Massillon.

Stalley is performing in Austin for South By Southwest this year:

March 18-SXSW Urb Magazine Showcase Light Bar,

March 19-SXSW  Last Rights Showcase Firehouse Lounge .

March 20-SXSW Kenny Dorham’s Backyard.

For this interview, we talked Massillon sports, Hip Hop, Islam, Ohio weather, Jamaica, J-Rawls, and mainly how the fuck someone goes from small-town Ohio to being Dame Dash’s latest discovery. You should read it. He is from Massillon and is in a rap group with Mos Def, Curren$y, and Jay Electronica called Central Edge Territory.

Have you been to Massillon?

ME:We are in Columbus, which is close to Massillon. I know you got you’re thing going on in Cleveland with Terry Urban and them. But I’m going to try to get Columbus up to speed. You grew up in Massilon your whole life?

Stalley:I grew up in Massillon until High School  I left Massillon when I went away to college That’s when I left.

So you played for the Massillon basketball team. Sports is big up there uh?

Yeah. Football is huge. As everyone in Ohio usually knows. If they do know about Massillon that’s what they know is football (more…)

Our site has always been about listing events. It’s up to you to put your schedules together. But checking out the new SCHED* Artist Discovery feature will help you find new music as well as create a schedule during SXSW.

My bro Aaron helped put together the Comedy Central event. Details here.

Looks like Todd P is doing shows in Austin after all.

Time for a bunch of shows. (more…)

More SXSW updates later, I am home sick and a little out of it.
