| Brooklyn's The Antlers (shown here at NYC's RiverRocks festival last summer) will be webcast live on March 17th. |
SXSW is in full swing, and you can get a lot of content online. NPR Music hosted its first
live webcasts from SXSW 2011 today, and a couple are already archived for download (by the Smith Westerns and the oddly named, yet catchy, band known as Yuck). Others you can stream online, including Raphael Saadiq and electronic musician James Blake.
Thursday the 17th NPR Music will start webcasting at 1:30 p.m. Eastern, but I'll be checking in later on to listen to three acts I'm interested in: the new band
Wild Flag at 3:30 (featuring Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss from Sleater-Kinney and Mary Timony from Helium), the Welsh group
The Joy Formidable at 4:15, and
The Antlers at 5:00.
For people like me who enjoy alternative Latin music, NPR Music's Alt.Latino blog takes a look at some of the
new Latin musicians who are playing SXSW.
There are plenty of Canadian bands at South by Southwest, and
CBC Radio 3 is doing some live audio webcasts. You can find those and the
network's other SXSW coverage here. And check out their
SXSW preview podcast, which spotlights some of the Canadians performing in Austin this week, with tunes by
Jenn Grant, Said the Whale, and Oh Susanna.
For more international coverage of the goings-on in Austin, check the British newspaper
The Guardian's
SXSW section.
