Countless hours of preparation, but on Wednesday the day of our showcase has finally arrived. We had a blast! Big thanks to everybody who could come out. Check out a few photos below – our full coverage will be up soon. Follow us along for more impressions on Twitter or[…]
Tuesday was a day that felt like it had 100 hours. That Austrian lunch with Leyya, wasn’t it a week ago? That’s SXSW, so do more things on a day than usually in a week and still miss most of the festival. We’re still lagging on seeing live music, but[…]
Coming from the North East Coast, experiencing a few days of early spring in Texas has almost as much allure as the some 2,000 we can see here at SXSW. The Austin weather doesn’t make it easy though: we were greeted with chilly wind albeit under a glorious blue sky.[…]
Welcoming GIRL SKIN to the Official glamglare SXSW Showcase feels like going full circle, because I remember vividly when I first listened to GIRL SKIN’s songs on SoundCloud, being completely enthralled, and consequently trying to book them for an upcoming glamglare show. Literally in the air, Sid confirmed his participation[…]
A little less than two years ago, we wrote about I Am Snow Angel, the solo project of New York artist Julie Kathryn that “her brand of electronic music is airy and effortless, and her vocals enter your mind like a whisper in a dream”, which still holds true, and so[…]
Pretty City are the only SXSW alumni on our showcase, having played the festival in 2016 for the first time, and returning again this year for a second time.

As long time fans of Blonde Maze, aka Amanda Steckler, we were also delighted to feature her at some of our New York shows, and are thrilled to welcome[…]
With six acts on our Official SXSW Showcase, only one will be absolutely new to us: the fabulous Emme Woods, who is making the trip over the pond from Glasgow, Scotland together with her four band members Jamie Logie (guitar), Neil McKenzie (trumpet, bass), Katie Doyle (keys) and Gary Gilmour (drums). Listening to[…]
In July 2016, I heard about The Lulls for the very first time and was immediately taken by their laid back, intelligent but also delicate sound. We premiered “Bruise”, the first single from their debut album “Island of Daughters, and at some point, Rutger Rosenborg and Ryan Miller mentioned that[…]
Gimme me relentless drumming, bold bass lines, fierce guitars and bone dry vocals, especially after a week filled with a lot of sweet pop and well, love. Nothing against love but there are times when it has to be well made post punk, the exciting kind! “José Tries To Leave”[…]
