Waxahatchee @ Stubb's

Pitchfork Fest just announced their final 2013 lineup and not surprisingly it contains Waxahatchee whose amazing 2013 album they so wisely chose to champion.

As mentioned, Waxahatchee was just in Austin for some SXSW shows. Our own Andrew Sacher caught her at Holy Mountain and wrote:

Easily one of the most anticipated artists at this year's SXSW is Waxahatchee, whose new album, Cerulean Salt, just hit shelves and is driving a lot of people wild. And her live show lives up too. She played full band and stuck to the more rock-oriented songs and rock versions of softer tunes, and at least in the front of the room, the crowd was completely zoned in. "I loved Waxahatchee!" I excitedly said to someone at the show. "Yeah, everyone does," was her response. It's true.

Pictures in this post are from Waxahatchee's SXSW-Wednesday night NPR showcase at Stubb's (the one Nick Cave & Yeah Yeah Yeahs also played).

As also mentioned, Waxahatchee will be back in Austin in June for Chaos in Tejas for a show at The North Door on June 2nd with Iceage, Total Control, and Lower. That is definitely not a show to miss and tickets are still on sale.

"Yeah Yeah Yeahs will play the NPR Music's SXSW Showcase at Stubbs on March 13th, 2013. The official showcase will be available to audiences worldwide through live broadcasts on NPR member stations across the country and a video stream at NPR Music. Joining Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the bill is Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, who will open the evening with a special set.

Dates in Dallas and the surrounding area right around SXSW indicated it, but now we have confirmation that Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will indeed perform at the Austin festival. Look for the boys to hit Stubb's on March 13th as part of the NPR Showcase with more artists still TBA.

In addition, Cave will make another public appearance the day before:

On Tuesday, 12th March, in conjunction with his SXSW performance, SXSW Film and Music will host Nick Cave in Conversation with New York based author Larry Ratso Sloman. Sloman's numerous collaborators include Howard Stern, David Blaine, magic historian William Kalush and Anthony Kiedis of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, with whom he worked on the memoir Scar Tissue. Sloman also wrote an account of Bob Dylan's 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour, On the Road with Bob Dylan, and penned Reefer Madness, a history of marijuana use in the United States

Keep an eye on SXSW's site for more details.

Updated tour dates and a video for the latest new song to emerge, "Jubilee Street", are below.
