SXSW 2009: Music Festival, Part 4

Selection for Day 4 (March 21). This is the last part in the SXSW 2009 series.


Explosions in the Sky

Post-rock outfit Explosions in the Sky hails from Austin, Texas -- The Live Music Capital of the World and the birthplace of SXSW. These guys have been around for about 10 years now, and I heard their live shows are fantastic.

Explosions in the Sky - Welcome, Ghosts



Voxtrot

Voxtrot is another relatively well-known Austin indie-rock band. Their song "Kid Gloves" has a tight melody and pretty interesting lyrics (is frontman Ramesh telling someone to f-off or something)?

Voxtrot - Kid Gloves




Say Hi

Say Hi, formerly Say Hi to Your Mom, is Eric Elbogen's project. He plays lo-fi pop music, and tours with a roster of friends.
