SXSW 2008: A few more bands confirmed
A few more bands have confirmed for SXSW:
Buzz band of the moment Vampire Weekend is playing. A demo version of their debut album, the final version of which is due in January on XL records, may make some critics’ year-end list for ‘07, a bit like Pavement’s “Slanted and Enchanted” did back in ‘91.
The Breeders, whom you’ll recall from quite a run there during the Clinton administration (and a comeback album called “Title TK,” which is a joke only journalists will get, which indicates the band knows its remaining fanbase quite well indeed.)
Neo-shoegazer buzz band A Place to Bury Strangers
Danish pop types the Ravonettes
Heavy psych-rock revivalists Black Mountain
British indie darlings/ Sex Pistols warm-up act the Cribs
Look for a showcase from the completely excellent Ohio label Columbus Discount .
