Now Introducing Film School

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Film School, hailing from California, is an almost stereotypically perfect band for the morning after a long night. You could play the entirety of Brilliant Career, their first album, straight through; staring at the ceiling, watching the room grow brighter around you, trying to remember the details of the night before. Their atmospheric, sometimes psychedelic indie rock sound (think Interpol) is best listened to late at night or early in the morning, and if you need a break from the insanity of SXSW, this is a band to check out. Here’s Lectric, and for live chilling out purposes, they’re at Beauty Bar on the 13th, Mohawk on the 15th.

Digitalism at SXSW

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Digitalism has a style that defies immediate description, but someone at Wikipedia said it best: ‘Digitalism is pioneering the electro-punk and indie dance movements.’ Not what you’d think of as traditional electronic or dance at all, that question factor they bring to the music is what makes it so catchy; it may possibly even get the blasé Austin hipster masses dancing. If you can catch their DJ set at Pangaea Saturday night, make every effort to do so; the dance floor should be packed and moving. To give you some idea of how much fun it’s going to be, download I Want I Want, a track from Idealism, and check out their MySpace for more.

Interview with Filmmakers Joe Swanberg and Greta Gerwig

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Joe and Greta sat down with us early this morning and chatted a little about their recent projects and the SXSW Film Festival. These busy-as-bees filmmakers are back at SXSW, uuuh-gain.  Joe is here for the fourth time in four years, premiering four different films including LOL, Kissing on the Mouth, Hannah Takes the Stairs and now Nights and Weekends, which he co-created with Greta. Greta’s previous work includes LOL and Hannah Takes the Stairs working directly with Joe, as well as Nights and Weekends, where she garners co-writing and co-directing credits.  As if that weren’t enough, she’s in a total of four films at SXSW this year, including Baghead and Yeast.
