South by Southwest does a great job of letting attendees (and everybody else) do some homework before the shows and preview tracks by showcased bands. Here are a bunch of our faves.
• The Asteroid #4 – “These Flowers of Ours” (web, sxsw)
• Black Lips – “O Katrina!” (web, sxsw)
• The Dollyrots – “My Best Friend’s Hot” (web, sxsw)
• Earlimart – “Face Down In The Right Town” (web, sxsw)
• The Evaporators – “You Got Me Into This, Now You Get Me Out!” (web, sxsw)
Listen to the rest after the jump…
“Break-Out Town” by Tokyo Sex Destruction from Le Red Soul Comunnitte. More Dim Mak mp3s.
Like everyone who cares about real rock and roll, Glorious Noise loves the MC5. When it comes to good old sloppy punk rock, the MC5 pretty much wrote the book. Or at least one of the early chapters. So when we missed the American leg of the first reunion tour of the surviving members (Wayne Kramer, Dennis Thompson and Michael Davis), we were disappointed. There was no other recourse than to fly to Europe to catch one of those dates. You gotta do what you gotta do.
