SXSW Preview: Third Round Of Bands Analyzed

Posted on

Another day, another round of bands announced for this year’s edition of SXSW and your friendly neighbourhood Panic Manual is here to tell you who we think is of interest.  This is who we are.  This is what we do.  On to the bands:

Ash – A Panic Manual favourite.  They will rock out.  They will be a lot of fun.  That is all.

Camera Obscura – Glasgow’s finest.  Tracyanne Campbell and co. are ready to charm us all with their lovely indie pop.

Prince Paul – Occasionally also known as Chest Rockwell, this is the man behind such gems as Gravediggaz, Handsome Boy Modelling School, and the first few De La Soul albums.  Why would you not want to go see him?

Skid Row – Yes, you heard right.  Skid. Freakin’. Row.  Sure, Sebastian Bach may be conspicuously absent, but still … 18 and Life?  Youth Gone Wild?  I Remember You?  Yes, please.

TOY – Psych-heavy, shoegazey indie rock from London.

Chad Valley – Another Panic Manual fave, Hugo Manual’s one man electronic solo project looks like it may even eclipse his other gig fronting Jonquil.  Catchy and trippy. 

Vampire Weekend – Hey look!  They’re back.  It seems like a long time since the band unleashed their sophomore effort Contra on the public, but I guess they did have to deal with that cover art lawsuit thing.  So yeah, they’re back.  Rejoice.  Or don’t.  It’s really up to you I suppose.
