4AD to hold its first-ever SXSW
showcase
Artists: The Delgados, Pixies, Blonde
Redhead, The Mountain Goats,
Cocteau Twins, Beirut, Wolf & Cub
4AD will hold its first-ever South By
Southwest showcase this year.
The legendary label - home to Pixies and
Cocteau Twins back in t'day - will
present to the assembled industry
types a quite brilliant bill that DiS will
almost certainly be present for.
Providing our passports arrive in time,
that is.
The following acts play Austin, TX's Emo's venue on March 14:
Blonde Redhead (pictured)
Blonde Redhead's new album, 23, is due for release in April.
The Mountain Goats
AKA John Darnielle - Get Lonely is out now on the label.
Beirut
One of 2006's most-celebrated cross-over acts; Zach Condon's Gulag Orkestar received
DiS's seal of approval here.
Emma Pollock
Emma, formerly of The Delgados, is to release her debut album through 4AD later in
2007.
Wolf & Cub
These Australians release their Vessels debut in April; look out for a DiS review soon.
DiS will be providing you, dear reader, with as much SXSW news as possible in the lead
up to the world's greatest music conference. We'll be there, too, so expect coverage
both from the event and a considered review of the best of this year's acts.
A full list of confirmed bands appearing, so far, is available at the official SXSW website
- click here.
