SXSW continues - Radio Room yesterday, Sweden & Norway today + GZA to perform with the Black Lips

Passion Pit & The Wrens @ the BV party @ Radio Room - yesterday (3/19/2009)

Three down, one to go - by that I mean BrooklynVegan parties at SXSW this year. The pictures above come from yesterday's epic day party at Radio Room. Today, Friday March 20th, stop by Habana Calle for a six-hour, free taste of Norway and Sweden, and/or consider checking out the Dickies Battle of the Bands that Black Bubblegum is judging. If a Battle of the Bands is not your thing I understand, but now consider that they've announced that GZA, in addition to co-judging, will be also performing at the show WITH the Black Lips.

Passion Pit are so fucking bad, its like Of Montreal-lite with no imagination or musicianship. How in the world does anyone listen to this crap, or are people not even listening and just relying on the hype.

I agree with you. That sleepyhead song is terrible, and his voice sounds likes he's been castrated, in a bad way.

Can we seriously bring the heat against major-label bands? Why do we allow corporations to take what we already have--good, local music--and repackage it and sell it back to us? Haven't we come to the point where we realize that not only do bands no longer need major labels, we as listeners no longer need major labels? Yet bands continue to sign with them, and we continue to serve as unwitting (and unpaid) cogs in their publicity machine by buying and blogging.
