Featuring a 25' x 14' x 8' multi-dimensional, shape shifting 3-D art installation, Tobin clearly has an

Ayoe Angelica, first and foremost, a serious singer. Raised in a very musical family, 23-year-old Ayoe has been nourishing her artsy bug since she was just a kid. The Denmark-based singer calls Ethiopia her second home, and some proceeds from her first album I Am Amazed were funneled to relief

While most countries of the world are trying to leave behind any contributions to disco and 80s pop, Parisian producer Breakbot is unearthing these relic sounds and turning them into dance floor gold (yes, I can call it that, just listen to it). Breakbot doesn’t have the glamorous image of other

A slightly more desperately depressed Tegan and Sara By the time I reached the Galaxy Backyard to catch An Horse, I was on my 6th show of the day. Seeing six shows at SXSW feels more like seeing 16 when you factor in walking/biking/crawling across town from venue to venue to reach a show which,...
