I was tired of listening to bands’ sound checks, tired of standing around, tired of low-quality beer, and just tired period. Admittedly, it was not a great headspace. Thankfully, it did not last long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearing a jangly racket coming from Trailer Space Records, we decided to drop in and see who was playing. It turned out to be none other than Oakland/Sacramento’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/ggreenband\">G. Green\u003c/a>, whose sloppy DIY punk felt, in that moment of ambivalence, reinvigorating. A few songs from the band felt like a fine way to end the South By experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we continued walking, we heard poppy sounds emerging from a lot where WNYU was hosting a party. By chance, the closing set by indie-pop charmers \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/tennisinc\">Tennis\u003c/a> was still going, and we seized the chance to catch a delightful batch of songs by a band that had slipped through my fingers all week long. Alaina Moore said that they had played a lot of shows during the week, but that as far as audiences went, we were the best. I don’t know if she says that to all of the audiences, but the entire experience felt like an important reminder about the serendipity that seems pervasive during SXSW. It turns out it’s easy to lose perspective when you spend four days in a fog of loud music and cheap beer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve been going to Austin annually for South by Southwest for eight or nine years now. I remain as, if not more, confused now about its actual function, relevance, and value to the artists performing, but the simple truth remains as accurate as when I first started attending: it’s a listener’s delight, even if the listener ends up with sore feet and a desire to embrace temperance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South by Southwest is also an absurdity, a creature that should not exist. The South By experience is at times reminiscent of a buffet and a zoo, with all of the attendant positives and negatives that might be drawn from either comparison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan id=\"more-49425\">\u003c/span>I saw around sixty bands last week, sometimes for five minutes, sometimes for an hour, and in a variety of settings and sound conditions. Given all of the variables, the one constant that emerged was that the most successful performers seemed to be the ones who took everything in stride, accepting the idea that playing twenty minutes of songs in the back lot of a dive bar when you can’t hear anything on stage, and when people are more interested in free moonshine and planning their next destination than listening to music, could qualify under any reasonable definition of the word “concert.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That idea of taking it all in stride and powering through may explain why some of the strongest sets I saw involved veteran performers’ newest projects. Not one but two Vivian Girls-related bands left strong positive impressions. \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/pages/La-Sera/101114383282113\">La Sera\u003c/a>‘s sublime surf-inspired rock was delightfully louder and more rounded than I had previously suspected, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coasting/169976749731201\">Coasting\u003c/a> delivered full-bore pop nuggets that offered plenty of guilt for missing the band’s recent full length. Similarly noisy pop came from \u003ca href=\"http://japandroids.com/\">Japandroids\u003c/a>, who tested songs from a forthcoming release that planted the band firmly within the school of loud and fast. The duo’s effort to cram as many songs into their set as possible left a heady buzz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ccenter>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"//u.s.kqed.net/2012/03/20/FrankieRose1.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Frankie Rose\u003cbr>\u003c/center>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/HelloBleached\">Bleached\u003c/a>‘s strong, harmony-driven show in the Mohawk’s small interior lodge room on Thursday called to mind seeing the Dum Dum Girls in the same room a few years prior. And speaking of (former) Dum Dum Girls, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/frankierosemusic\">Frankie Rose\u003c/a> and her band’s Wednesday afternoon Brooklyn Vegan party appearance delivered sharp renditions of gauzy pop songs from \u003cem>Interstellar\u003c/em>, one of my favorite records of the year to date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ccenter>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"//u.s.kqed.net/2012/03/20/lowerdens.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Lower Dens\u003cbr>\u003c/center>\n\u003cp>While the lowest-fi projects might be best equipped to adapt to SXSW’s frequently poor sound conditions, the subtleties of \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/lowerdens\">Lower Dens\u003c/a>‘ layered mood-rock worked at Pitchfork’s day party, suggesting that the band’s second album will be a dynamic leap forward from their already strong first album. An attention to dynamics also aided \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/CavemanBand\">Caveman\u003c/a>‘s percussive, synth-layered pop songs, which felt ideally suited to the warm Thursday early evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ccenter>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"//u.s.kqed.net/2012/03/20/Caveman590x4421.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Caveman\u003cbr>\u003c/center>\n\u003cp>A similar highlight, perhaps the highlight of the festival for me, was a chance to see \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/thedjangos\">Django Django\u003c/a>, a London art-pop band making its first appearance in the U.S. Other than the lack of stateside touring, I am befuddled by the curious expressions I get when I rave about their album, which successfully walks a tightrope balancing synth-driven weirdness and uber-catchy melodies; surely it’s only a matter of time before they get more well-deserved attention here. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though SXSW is nominally about discovering new music (and does anyone even believe that anymore?) three veterans rank among my festival highlights. I’d been familiar with \u003ca href=\"http://www.rsteviemoore.com/\">R. Stevie Moore\u003c/a>‘s work since Ariel Pink started championing the outsider cult hero, but his Saturday afternoon set of affable, left-of-center art-rock was a testament to the relative meaning of terms like “weirdo,” leaving the focus primarily on the thoroughly enjoyable music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ccenter>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"//u.s.kqed.net/2012/03/20/FutureoftheLeft450.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Future of the Left\u003cbr>\u003c/center>\n\u003cp>No more obvious stamp of approval exists than the demand for one more song after the conclusion of a band’s set, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/futureoftheleft\">Future of the Left\u003c/a>, to their credit, held their ground on stage until the venue acquiesced. The quartet rocked, sardonic yet intense, and I plan to revisit their back catalog (and forthcoming album) soon. Similarly, the MOG party once again provided my annual chance to reevaluate a hip-hop artist I’d unfairly dismissed. Last year, it was Big Boi’s “all hits, yes there are a lot of hits” set; this year, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/TheRoots\">The Roots\u003c/a> delivered a master class in why they are one of the tightest performing acts in any genre, even if their taste in rock and roll covers needs some quality control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But rather than end a report on new music from SXSW with the conclusion that, “Hey, The Roots are a pretty great live band,” I’ll offer a bunch of other groups I quite enjoyed, and one experience I didn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the positive side:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/deafheaven\">Deafheaven\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/umemusic\">Ume\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/FreeEnergy\">Free Energy\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/purityringmusic\">Purity Ring\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/tychomusic\">Tycho\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/zjzjzj\">Zola Jesus\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/123land\">1,2,3\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eleanorfriedberger.com\">Eleanor Friedberger\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/gardensandvilla\">Gardens & Villa\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/chadvalleymusic\">Chad Valley\u003c/a>, and numerous others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the downright unpleasant side:\u003c/strong> trying a few of Taco Bell’s Doritos-shelled tacos.

I was tired of listening to bands’ sound checks, tired of standing around, tired of low-quality beer, and just tired period. Admittedly, it was not a great headspace. Thankfully, it did not last long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearing a jangly racket coming from Trailer Space Records, we decided to drop in and see who was playing. It turned out to be none other than Oakland/Sacramento’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/ggreenband\">G. Green\u003c/a>, whose sloppy DIY punk felt, in that moment of ambivalence, reinvigorating. A few songs from the band felt like a fine way to end the South By experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we continued walking, we heard poppy sounds emerging from a lot where WNYU was hosting a party. By chance, the closing set by indie-pop charmers \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/tennisinc\">Tennis\u003c/a> was still going, and we seized the chance to catch a delightful batch of songs by a band that had slipped through my fingers all week long. Alaina Moore said that they had played a lot of shows during the week, but that as far as audiences went, we were the best. I don’t know if she says that to all of the audiences, but the entire experience felt like an important reminder about the serendipity that seems pervasive during SXSW. It turns out it’s easy to lose perspective when you spend four days in a fog of loud music and cheap beer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I remain as, if not more, confused now about its actual function, relevance, and value to the artists performing, but the simple truth remains as accurate as when I first started attending: it’s a listener’s delight, even if the listener ends up with sore feet and a desire to embrace temperance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South by Southwest is also an absurdity, a creature that should not exist. The South By experience is at times reminiscent of a buffet and a zoo, with all of the attendant positives and negatives that might be drawn from either comparison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan id=\"more-49425\">\u003c/span>I saw around sixty bands last week, sometimes for five minutes, sometimes for an hour, and in a variety of settings and sound conditions. Given all of the variables, the one constant that emerged was that the most successful performers seemed to be the ones who took everything in stride, accepting the idea that playing twenty minutes of songs in the back lot of a dive bar when you can’t hear anything on stage, and when people are more interested in free moonshine and planning their next destination than listening to music, could qualify under any reasonable definition of the word “concert.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That idea of taking it all in stride and powering through may explain why some of the strongest sets I saw involved veteran performers’ newest projects. Not one but two Vivian Girls-related bands left strong positive impressions. \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/pages/La-Sera/101114383282113\">La Sera\u003c/a>‘s sublime surf-inspired rock was delightfully louder and more rounded than I had previously suspected, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coasting/169976749731201\">Coasting\u003c/a> delivered full-bore pop nuggets that offered plenty of guilt for missing the band’s recent full length. Similarly noisy pop came from \u003ca href=\"http://japandroids.com/\">Japandroids\u003c/a>, who tested songs from a forthcoming release that planted the band firmly within the school of loud and fast. The duo’s effort to cram as many songs into their set as possible left a heady buzz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ccenter>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"//u.s.kqed.net/2012/03/20/FrankieRose1.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Frankie Rose\u003cbr>\u003c/center>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/HelloBleached\">Bleached\u003c/a>‘s strong, harmony-driven show in the Mohawk’s small interior lodge room on Thursday called to mind seeing the Dum Dum Girls in the same room a few years prior. And speaking of (former) Dum Dum Girls, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/frankierosemusic\">Frankie Rose\u003c/a> and her band’s Wednesday afternoon Brooklyn Vegan party appearance delivered sharp renditions of gauzy pop songs from \u003cem>Interstellar\u003c/em>, one of my favorite records of the year to date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ccenter>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"//u.s.kqed.net/2012/03/20/lowerdens.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Lower Dens\u003cbr>\u003c/center>\n\u003cp>While the lowest-fi projects might be best equipped to adapt to SXSW’s frequently poor sound conditions, the subtleties of \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/lowerdens\">Lower Dens\u003c/a>‘ layered mood-rock worked at Pitchfork’s day party, suggesting that the band’s second album will be a dynamic leap forward from their already strong first album. An attention to dynamics also aided \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/CavemanBand\">Caveman\u003c/a>‘s percussive, synth-layered pop songs, which felt ideally suited to the warm Thursday early evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ccenter>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"//u.s.kqed.net/2012/03/20/Caveman590x4421.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Caveman\u003cbr>\u003c/center>\n\u003cp>A similar highlight, perhaps the highlight of the festival for me, was a chance to see \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/thedjangos\">Django Django\u003c/a>, a London art-pop band making its first appearance in the U.S. Other than the lack of stateside touring, I am befuddled by the curious expressions I get when I rave about their album, which successfully walks a tightrope balancing synth-driven weirdness and uber-catchy melodies; surely it’s only a matter of time before they get more well-deserved attention here. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though SXSW is nominally about discovering new music (and does anyone even believe that anymore?) three veterans rank among my festival highlights. I’d been familiar with \u003ca href=\"http://www.rsteviemoore.com/\">R. Stevie Moore\u003c/a>‘s work since Ariel Pink started championing the outsider cult hero, but his Saturday afternoon set of affable, left-of-center art-rock was a testament to the relative meaning of terms like “weirdo,” leaving the focus primarily on the thoroughly enjoyable music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003ccenter>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"//u.s.kqed.net/2012/03/20/FutureoftheLeft450.jpg\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\" alt=\"\">\u003cbr>Future of the Left\u003cbr>\u003c/center>\n\u003cp>No more obvious stamp of approval exists than the demand for one more song after the conclusion of a band’s set, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/futureoftheleft\">Future of the Left\u003c/a>, to their credit, held their ground on stage until the venue acquiesced. The quartet rocked, sardonic yet intense, and I plan to revisit their back catalog (and forthcoming album) soon. Similarly, the MOG party once again provided my annual chance to reevaluate a hip-hop artist I’d unfairly dismissed. Last year, it was Big Boi’s “all hits, yes there are a lot of hits” set; this year, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/TheRoots\">The Roots\u003c/a> delivered a master class in why they are one of the tightest performing acts in any genre, even if their taste in rock and roll covers needs some quality control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But rather than end a report on new music from SXSW with the conclusion that, “Hey, The Roots are a pretty great live band,” I’ll offer a bunch of other groups I quite enjoyed, and one experience I didn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the positive side:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/deafheaven\">Deafheaven\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/umemusic\">Ume\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/FreeEnergy\">Free Energy\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/purityringmusic\">Purity Ring\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/tychomusic\">Tycho\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/zjzjzj\">Zola Jesus\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/123land\">1,2,3\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eleanorfriedberger.com\">Eleanor Friedberger\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/gardensandvilla\">Gardens & Villa\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/chadvalleymusic\">Chad Valley\u003c/a>, and numerous others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Awww. Talk about cute overload. “Don’t Move” is such a bright, hypnotic track that, even on a recent flight that was delayed several hours, I couldn’t help but smile the crying baby and the rude stewardess and the arm rest thief away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TtL3AyBHP0&version=3&hl=en_US&showinfo=0&rel=0]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Trust: “Candy Walls”\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspiration for Trust’s debut, which was mixed by Mikey Apples of Crystal Castles, was “nostalgia, lust, and erotomania.” The word sexy doesn’t really cut it in describing this slow-techno, cold-wave track or its respective music video. One YouTube user sums it quite nicely: “He is very attractive. I want to have sex with him.” And, if you must know, I may or may not have written this to a friend who invited me to see them live: “I think my heart just tramped off with a bindle, never to return. That was just too much darling cuteness to handle. His over-sized shorts and kitten tee! Her tangled horse hair and shades! Life on the road Kerouac style! If I go to this concert with you, you’re going to have to give me a lecture on why rape is not an acceptable form of expression. Can you do that for me?” Trust is bringing the lust to the Rickshaw Stop on April 12, 2012. \u003ca href=\"http://www.rickshawstop.com/event/100553/\">Get yourself some tickets!\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mO9MzATrqo&version=3&hl=en_US&showinfo=0&rel=0]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Labyrinth Ear: “Humble Bones”\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labyrinth Ear’s “Humble Bones,” the closing track off their self-released EP \u003ci>Apparitions\u003c/i>, fits right into my deepest REM dreams, the unconscious adventures I take to unicorn sanctuaries and down the canals of ancient Venice. The boy/girl duo from London have crafted quite the synth-pop ear worm here, one that begs to be sung, as my neighbors and anyone I bike past can attest. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOpkr8uNWpk&version=3&hl=en_US&showinfo=0&rel=0]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Perfume Genius: “Hood”\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perfume Genius, a.k.a. Mike Hadreas, began this musical project when he moved from the bustle of New York to the calm isolation of his mother’s home in Everett, WA. The piano-driven music that has resulted is equal parts tender, heartbreaking, and poetic. Beyond the recognition he’s recently gotten for his beautiful sophomore effort \u003ci>Put Your Back N 2 It\u003c/i>, Perfume Genius also received some attention after YouTube banned one of his videos for not being “family safe” because it featured two men embracing. It’s going to take a lot more than latent homophobia to hold this guy down. He’s here! He’s queer! Get used to it!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnexkG4RrtA&version=3&hl=en_US&showinfo=0&rel=0]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Niki and the Dove: “DJ, Ease My Mind”\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sweden just won’t quit sending over musicians to invade and conquer my ear drums. Since my first CD (Ace of Base’s \u003ci>The Sign\u003c/i> — don’t hate) to The Cardigans to Robyn to Jens Lekman to Lykki Li to Fever Ray…(you get the picture), I’ve fallen for one Swede after another. And it continues with Niki and the Dove’s “DJ, Ease My Mind,” which is about the wave of bliss that crashes over you every time the DJ plays your song. Here’s hoping I hear this one on some dance floor out there tout de suite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiwcUdX7XMw&version=3&hl=en_US&showinfo=0&rel=0]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Sleigh Bells: “Comeback Kid”\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/arts/music/article.jsp?essid=29565\">Back when Sleigh Bells’ debut album was released\u003c/a>, I wrote: “Sometimes your ears need a good pummeling, something raw and shredded to blaze through your ear canal. And Sleigh Bells will give it to you (and have the courtesy to leave some scar tissue to remember it by).” A few years later and they’re still my go-to band for all things brash. “Comeback Kid” doesn’t exactly misbehave on the level of their earlier work, but it has won me over regardless. And the music video is just as good: Alexis Krauss jumping on a bed clutching a rifle with an innocent smile smeared on her face and Derek Miller giving a nod to \u003ci>The Breakfast Club\u003c/i>. These two sure know the way to my heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuvWc3ToDHg&version=3&hl=en_US&showinfo=0&rel=0]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>BONUS: Beach House: “Myth”\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/arts/music/article.jsp?essid=27493\">Everything I said about my fellow Baltimorians back in 2010 still stands\u003c/a>.

Awww.

One YouTube user sums it quite nicely: “He is very attractive. I want to have sex with him.” And, if you must know, I may or may not have written this to a friend who invited me to see them live: “I think my heart just tramped off with a bindle, never to return. That was just too much darling cuteness to handle. His over-sized shorts and kitten tee! Her tangled horse hair and shades! Life on the road Kerouac style! If I go to this concert with you, you’re going to have to give me a lecture on why rape is not an acceptable form of expression. Can you do that for me?” Trust is bringing the lust to the Rickshaw Stop on April 12, 2012. \u003ca href=\"http://www.rickshawstop.com/event/100553/\">Get yourself some tickets!\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/3mO9MzATrqo'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/3mO9MzATrqo'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Labyrinth Ear: “Humble Bones”\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labyrinth Ear’s “Humble Bones,” the closing track off their self-released EP \u003ci>Apparitions\u003c/i>, fits right into my deepest REM dreams, the unconscious adventures I take to unicorn sanctuaries and down the canals of ancient Venice.

The piano-driven music that has resulted is equal parts tender, heartbreaking, and poetic. Beyond the recognition he’s recently gotten for his beautiful sophomore effort \u003ci>Put Your Back N 2 It\u003c/i>, Perfume Genius also received some attention after YouTube banned one of his videos for not being “family safe” because it featured two men embracing.

Since my first CD (Ace of Base’s \u003ci>The Sign\u003c/i> — don’t hate) to The Cardigans to Robyn to Jens Lekman to Lykki Li to Fever Ray…(you get the picture), I’ve fallen for one Swede after another. And it continues with Niki and the Dove’s “DJ, Ease My Mind,” which is about the wave of bliss that crashes over you every time the DJ plays your song. Here’s hoping I hear this one on some dance floor out there tout de suite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/YiwcUdX7XMw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/YiwcUdX7XMw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Sleigh Bells: “Comeback Kid”\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/arts/music/article.jsp?essid=29565\">Back when Sleigh Bells’ debut album was released\u003c/a>, I wrote: “Sometimes your ears need a good pummeling, something raw and shredded to blaze through your ear canal. And Sleigh Bells will give it to you (and have the courtesy to leave some scar tissue to remember it by).” A few years later and they’re still my go-to band for all things brash. “Comeback Kid” doesn’t exactly misbehave on the level of their earlier work, but it has won me over regardless. And the music video is just as good: Alexis Krauss jumping on a bed clutching a rifle with an innocent smile smeared on her face and Derek Miller giving a nod to \u003ci>The Breakfast Club\u003c/i>.

"content": "\u003cp>The annual insanity of this month’s South by Southwest festival means that a ton of artists are touring right now, and plenty of performers will be in SF in March en route to or returning from Austin. But while most of the acts included in this episode will be doing one or a dozen shows in bars and parking lots around the Texas capital, one of the benefits of living in the Bay Area is that you don’t need to go to Austin to see buzzed-about bands. Whether it’s the slinky electronica of Nicolas Jaar, the brainy guitar work of Dustin Wong, or the despondent pop of Perfume Genius, this month offers a multitude of opportunities to experience promising touring bands close to home.

But while most of the acts included in this episode will be doing one or a dozen shows in bars and parking lots around the Texas capital, one of the benefits of living in the Bay Area is that you don’t need to go to Austin to see buzzed-about bands. Whether it’s the slinky electronica of Nicolas Jaar, the brainy guitar work of Dustin Wong, or the despondent pop of Perfume Genius, this month offers a multitude of opportunities to experience promising touring bands close to home. On the local front, Ceremony is poised to break out with the release of \u003cem>Zoo\u003c/em>, while Chuck Prophet remains at the top of his game with \u003cem>Temple Beautiful\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enjoy the mix, then go see some shows!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cu>\u003cstrong>About the bands:\u003c/strong>\u003c/u>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ceremonyhc.com/\">Ceremony\u003c/a> (“Adult”), from Rohnert Park, releases its new album, \u003cem>Zoo\u003c/em>, on \u003ca href=\"http://www.matadorrecords.com/ceremony/\">Matador Records\u003c/a> on March 6.
