Among the many foreign bands stopping in NYC on their way to or from SXSW this year are Norwegian duo Tomorrow We Move to Hawaii. Their new EP, Still Life, is squelchy electropop that is both hummable and danceable. You can stream a couple cuts from it, plus a couple other singles, below.

TWMTH play Cake Shop tonight (3/7) and the Trash Bar in Williamsburg on Sunday (3/10) with Deaf Echo and Kiddo. The duo then head to Texas to duke it out for the many festival-goers and drunk springbreakers' attention. All tour dates are listed below.

Paws at Cake Shop - 3/6/13 (via BrooklynVegan Instagram)

Scottish trio PAWS brought their raucous pop punk to the US this week, having touched down in NYC for shows at Glasslands on Tuesday (3/5) and Cake Shop last night (3/6). I caught their set in the low-ceiling, dimly lit basement of Cake Shop last night and they're just as upbeat and energetic at their shows as they are on Cokefloat!, their debut album, which came out last year. They played a bunch of choice cuts from that album like "Sore Tummy," "Catherine 1956," and "Bloodline," in addition to material off of their new cassette (if you were at the show, did you pick one up?) and an amped up cover of Big Deal's "Chair." It was a super fun show and you'll have one more chance to catch the band in NYC when they play Shea Stadium on Saturday (3/9) with Lost Boy? and Lame Drivers. A picture of PAWS' setlist from last night is below.

PAWS are also making their way down to Austin for SXSW, and while they're there, they'll play a BrooklynVegan day party on Thursday, March 14 at The Main and The Jr. (aka 603 Red River St aka the old Emo's location). They play The Jr stage with Parenthetical Girls, Jacco Gardner, and more TBA. PAWS are on at 3 PM and like all of our day parties, this one is 100% FREE with RSVP.

Updated PAWS dates are listed, along with last night's setlist and a stream of their cassette, below...

Following an early live outing from Prince Innocence, she effortlessly commands the attention of the jostling room, her performance is completely natural, professional and expressive. Bounding around the small stage in a brilliantly baggy t-shirt, proudly brandishing the Chess Club Records crest, she is a bundle of frenetic energy, an energy which translates into the music she produces so succinctly. The opening to 'Maiden' blasts out early in the set; its crystal clear guitar riff, rumbling bass synth and manufactured drums are a potent song-writing weapon used to full effect.

With another twinkling opening hook that summons an almost Yuletide feeling, latest track 'Glass' comes flying out next and is a definite highlight. "What a pleasant sensation!" is belted out at the top-end of her powerful range, confirming how prolific a chorus-creator MØ is as. The aforementioned 'Pilgrim' and the closing 'Crazy For You' are equally impressive; the former making use of the fidgeting monochrome projection behind, showing playful, immaculately timed visuals of vintage horn sections and swing dancing. - [The Line of Best Fit]

With only three released tracks to her name, Danish singer Karen Marie Ørsted -- you can call her MØ -- is already garnering a lot of attention and comparisons to other female electronic artists who shall remain nameless. You can stream all those songs below. MØ is in NYC as we speak playing a couple shows here before heading to SXSW. She's at Santos tonight (3/7) for a FREE Popshop party with Watch the Duck; and will play Glasslands on Friday with Alpine and White Prism (tickets). All tour dates are listed below.

Some in NYC may have caught her during CMJ 2012. She was here with a film crew and you can watch a short documentary about her CMJ below.

Jacco Gardner at Death by Audio - 3/2/13 (via BrooklynVegan Instagram)

Psychedelic pop visionary Jacco Gardner is on a tour now, which just hit NYC last weekend (3/2) at Death by Audio. If you like the harpsichord-y baroque psych found on his album Cabinet of Curisoties, you'll like his live show too -- he and his band pull off that sound almost flawlessly, from the groovy, flowing basslines to the three-part harmonies. It was hands-down the best-sounding show I've ever seen at Death by Audio. It was an impressive set.

NYC has another chance to see him on the other side of SXSW on March 23 at Mercury Lounge with his Trouble in Mind labelmates, Mmoss (tickets). But before that show, as mentioned, he'll stop in Austin for SXSW, and his show schedule has been revealed. He's playing a ton of parties and showcases, like the Austin Psych Fest party, the Trouble in Mind party, two Panache shows, FADER Fort, and more.

He'll also play a BrooklynVegan day party on Thursday, March 14 at 603 Red River St. (the old Emo's location). He's on at noon on the same stage that Parenthetical Girls play later that day. The party is 100% FREE with RSVP and the rest of the lineup will be announced soon. The flyer for Jacco's SXSW schedule is below.

Updated dates are listed, along with the flyer and a Spotify stream of his debut album, Cabinet of Curiosities, below...

Parenthetical Girls in Chicago in 2012 (more by Sarah Frankie Linder)

As mentioned, Parenthetical Girls packed material from their five Privilege EPs into a 12-song album called Privilege, which is out now. If you were already keeping up and have all of the EPs, the album may be less necessary for you, but for anyone who's yet to approach them, the album's a great collection of the material they'd been putting out. You can stream the whole thing and watch the new-ish video for its track, "A Note to Self," below.

Parenthetical Girls kicked off their tour last night (3/6) in San Francisco and it will be coming to NYC later this month. But before that, the band will stop in Austin for SXSW, where they'll play a few shows, including a BrooklynVegan day party on Thursday, March 14 at 603 Red River St. (the old Emo's location). They're on at 3:45 PM and the show is 100% FREE with RSVP. Full lineup coming soon.

Updated dates are listed, along with the album stream and video, below...

As mentioned, Montreal's Valleys will release their new album, Are You Going To Stand There And Talk Weird All Night?, on April 30 via Kanine Records. The duo just released the video for first single, "Undream a Year," which finds singer Tillie Perks stuck in a dreamlike surreality from which she must escape. You can watch it below.

Valleys will play NYC tonight at Pianos with Praha Depart, Bowmont, Man Without Country (who play our official SXSW showcase), and Late Guest at the Party. Tickets are still available. The band then head to Texas for SXSW like 73% of all the bands in the world. After that the band join up with Fol Chen for a tour that hits NYC at Glasslands on April 4. Tickets are still available for that show as well. All tour dates -- including their SXSW schedule -- are listed below.

Robyn Hitchcock

Psychedelic pop veteran Robyn Hitchock released his new album, Love from London, this week (3/5), and to follow that, he's revealed his cover of Nick Drake's "Parasite," which will appear on the upcoming tribute album, Way to Blue: The Songs of Nick Drake, which will be out on April 16 via StorySound and also features covers by Vashti Bunyan, Scritti Politti's Green Gartside, Lisa Hannigan, Danny Thompson & Zoe Rahman, and more. You can listen to Robyn's cover of "Parasite" and check out the album artwork below.

Joe Boyd, Nick Drake's original producer, is also celebrating the album with two live tributes: one in Austin for SXSW at the Austin Convention Center (3/16), which Robyn Hitchcock is playing, and one in NYC on April 10 at Joe's Pub. Tickets for the NYC show are on sale now. The Nick Drake documentary, A Skin Too Few: the Days of Nick Drake, is also screening in NYC on April 13 at 14 at Nitehawk Cinema.

Robyn Hitchcock unfortunately won't be at the Joe's Pub show (he has his own NYC show on 4/26 though), but while he's in Austin for SXSW, he'll also be playing a BrooklynVegan day party on Wednesday, March 13 at 603 Red River St. (the old Emo's location). Robyn goes on at 5 PM and the show is 100% FREE with RSVP. Full lineup coming soon.

Updated dates are listed, along with the song stream and album art, below...

XXYYXX

The Underachievers

The 2013 BrooklynVegan official SXSW showcase (the one that isn't a metal show or a Red Cross Syria benefit) will take place on Friday, March 15 at Maggie Mae's Rooftop (323 E. 6th Street in Austin, TX). SXSW badges are welcome, and we'll also have some general admission tickets for sale at the door (come early!).

The lineup this year, as you can see in the flyer below, leans toward the dancier side of things, with a headlining 1 AM set from Orlando downtempo artist XXYYXX, who was recently in NYC for two sold out shows at 285 Kent. Before him, there will be sets by 3421, who are bringing their live-band dubstep over to Austin all the way from Israel, a set by manic NYC rapper Mykki Blanco, electro-shoegazers Man Without Country, R&B-indebted producer Giraffage, Brainfeeder-affiliated rappers The Underachievers (whose free mixtape, Indigoism, is out now), the synth pop of Pictureplane, rapper/stripper/Grimes collaborator Brooke Candy, and finally, Zebra Katz, who you know best for "Ima Read.". Though (the show is in a week), it didn't all finally fall in place until last minute, this one was fun to put together.

--

--

To make it even more of a party, we'll have wearable "social lighting" available courtesy of Illuminode. The lights, which people will get to try on when they walk in the door, sync with the music (first come, first served on those, but you can always grab one when someone returns theirs too).

The show begins at 8 PM and as noted above is one of three official BrooklynVegan nighttime events at SXSW, including the one the same night with Omar Souleyman, Black Lips, Deer Tick, and more; and the official BrooklynVegan/Invisible Oranges metal showcase on Saturday (3/16) with Pallbearer, John Baizley (Baroness), and more. We also have four days of day parties (March 13-16, full lineups coming soon!).

As is usually the case with SXSW, many of the bands on our showcase are stopping by NYC for shows before and after SXSW also. As mentioned, 3421 plays Mercury Lounge on 3/20, Man Without Country plays Pianos (tonight, 3/7) and Knitting Factory (3/9), Giraffage plays 88 Palace on 3/9 with JETS. And Mykki Blanco and Pictureplane always have stuff going on in the area too.

See you in Austin.

Diamond Rings , who was here back in December, will open for synthpop pioneers OMD on their forthcoming tour, which includes a stop in NYC on July 17 at Terminal 5. Tickets are still available.

The Toronto musician will also be in Austin next week for SXSW, including the BrooklynVegan Day party on Friday (3/15) in the old Emo's space. If you've never seen Diamond Rings and his band live, you can check out video of them performing "Runaway Love" from last year's Free Dimensional, below.

All tour dates -- including SXSW appearances -- are listed below.

Austra has announced their sophomore album, Olympia, which will be released on June 18 via Domino. Unlike 2011's Feel it Break, which was made primarily by Katie Stelmanis alone, Olympia was a band effort with all instruments played live in the studio with no programming or loops used. Drummer Maya Postepski (also of TRUST), had a big hand in shaping the sound of the new album. "There is a major percussive element running through every song," says Stelmanis. "This is the album where we discovered rhythm." You can check out "Home" from Olympia below.

Austra, who was here recently opening for The xx, will be premiering Olympia material at SXSW next week, including a visit to our Saturday (3/16) day party at the old Emo's space. Austra have also announced a few American live dates around the release of the album, including one in NYC at Music Hall of Williamsburg on June 20. Tickets for that show go on sale today (3/7) at noon. All Austra tour dates are below.

As mentioned, His Clancyness are visiting from Bologna, Italy, stopping in NYC to play Glasslands on Sunday (3/10) before heading to Austin for SXSW. That show also features LODRO, Tweens and Basement Batman and tickets are still available. The band (featuring Jonathan Clancy of A Classic Education) have added another show while here: Saturday (3/9) at Cake Shop with Spires, Permanenent Collection (ex Young Prisms), and onetime Get Him Eat Him frontman, Matt LeMay.

You can stream some His Clancyness tracks and peruse a list of all tour dates, including the band's SXSW schedule, below.

Ski Lodge chillin' at Sound Bites Series 2012 (more by Jessica Amaya)

While Ski Lodge are still putting final touches on their debut album, the Brooklyn band will release a new single, "Just to Be Like You," via Dovecote on April 16. Much like the band's 2011 EP, the new single owes more than a little to early-'80s janglers Orange Juice and The Smiths. It's pretty darn catchy and you can stream it below.

Meanwhile, Ski Lodge will play NYC on Friday (3/8) at Muchmore's with Literature, The Hairs, and The Teen Age. That's a pretty good show, especially if your tastes lean towards indiepop. Immediately after, Ski Lodge hit the road heading for Austin and those four letters that I'm really tired of typing. After that fest, the band will join up with Chad Valley for some dates on the West Coast and Southwest. But Ski Lodge will be back in time for NYC Popfest at the end of May. All tour dates are listed below.

To quote SXSW:

SXSW is proud to announce an interview with Syrian artist and cult international legend Omar Souleyman on March 15th from 5-6pm in ACC room 16AB.

The show takes place at Long Center For The Performing Arts beginning at 9pm on Friday 3/15 after the Flaming Lips Auditorium Shores show.

The Soft Moon have just released a new video for "Insides" from last year's Zeros. The surreal black-and-white clip, directed by Jacqueline Castel, is a little Dali-esque. No melting clocks, but some doors are definitely in a fluid state. Trip out below.

They'll also be back in NYC for the 2013 Northside Festival on June 16 at 285 Kent. No word on other bands on the bill or tickets just yet, but all tour dates are listed below.

The Thermals in Austin in 2011 (more by Tim Griffin)

The Thermals are having a solid year so far with the vinyl reissues of their Sub Pop albums (out now), and signing to Saddle Creek for their new album, Desperate Ground, which from the sounds of its first single, "Born to Kill," is shaping up to be a good one. They've also got an expanding tour, which already includes a BrooklynVegan-presented show at 285 Kent on Thursday (3/7) with Hilly Eye and Habibi and another NYC-area date on Saturday (3/9) at Maxwell's with TEEN.

We're happy to announce that they'll stick around NYC for a third show in the area, which happens on Monday (3/11) at Ace Hotel as part of the Bowery Presents/Martin Guitar '5 at 5' series.

UMO/Foxygen @ Bowery Ballroom, 2/28/2013

There must be something about having the word Foxy in the name of your band (see Foxy Shazam) that has a requirement of the lead singer acting completely nuts on stage. The 5 piece indie rock band from Agoura Hills (shout out to my Cali peeps) played for just about an hour and their music has elements of folk, alternative and lots of psychedelia! Lead singer Sam France walked out on stage with a pimp jacket and Indiana Jones type stetson hat (which you can see a clearer picture of after the jump) and danced/freaked out all over the stage as distorted vocals came pouring out through his mic...

... It appeared that the crowd was there to see Foxygen based on the reaction to their music, but everyone stayed and loved UMO equally as much. They performed largely in the dark, though back lit by those candles that have little battery operated flames in them. - [According2G]

Foxygen hightailed it from Bowery immediately after their set to play a last-minute, late-night show at Pianos.

In related news, for those heading to Austin for SXSW Interactive or Film (or showing up early for the music portion), Seaport Music Fest, Panache Booking and Hot Burrito are putting on Bruise Cruise show on Lady Bird Lake with Milk Music, Fat Tony, The Blind Shake and Outer Minds. Details are here and the flyer is below...

Just your average Bonaparte show...

Maybe you caught Bonaparte's wild set at Mercury Lounge or SXSW last year. The Berlin-based party rockers prop-and-nudity-filled stage show is pretty hard to forget. Bonaparte are here again now and will be at SXSW and have a handfull of shows in NYC on either side of the Austin fest. Beforehand there are two solo sets "with Divas" from frontman Tobias Jundt: tonight (3/1) at Glasslands with Sami.The.Great and Birdcourage, then Tuesday (3/5) at Pianos with Corn Mo (tickets).

Then after SXSW, the full-band Bonaparte experience (also "with Divas") will hit with shows at Union Hall on March 18 with Tim Fite (tix) and Pianos on March 19 that's with Finland's K-X-P (tix). And Jundt will do one more "with Divas" solo set at Pianos on March 26, again with Tim Fite as well as The Everymen and Bedfellows (tix).

All dates are listed, along with videos and flyers, below.
