Elle Exxe is a Scottish singer, songwriter and producer, who creates delicious pop songs, performed with verve! While we already totally enjoyed her live show last year for Mondo.NYC (review here), we were blown away by experiencing her live with a full band! Linda Harrison, who goes by Elle Exxe,[…]
Knowing, that Canada is home to a lot of fantastic acts and some who we like very much, we didn’t want to miss the Canadian Blast at Swan Dive. Without having chosen a particular band, we simply went there Friday afternoon, when Toronto-based Casper Skulls just started their set. I absolutely loved them from[…]
Italian musician Ema Drei, who goes by Giungla (Italian for ‘jungle’), released an excellent EP “Camo” (Apple Music | Spotify) last year and three of its four songs ended up to be our Song Pick of the Day. That is why we were more than excited when Giungla not only signed up for[…]

We started the day at Brush Park, where two day parties took place: The Aussie BBQ, which showcases Australian artists every year and the Sounds Of Spain party. After a quick visit to the first one, we hung out a little at the Spanish party, where they serve delicious paella.[…]
Time to get serious at SXSW (and have some fun too): for breakfast, we went to Rainey Street to see Norwegian producer Coucheron at the Paradigm Talent Agency Cookout. He does catchy energetic dance songs, albeit currently without a live singer. After that we were caught in surprise by Australian[…]
