SXSW:
(Austin, Texas)

The wildly popular K-Pop Night Out returns to SXSW for its fourth year, with KOCCA (Korea Creative Content Agency) bringing yet another diverse showcase of Korean music to The Belmont (305 W 6th St) on Wednesday, March 16. This year’s lineup includes R&B singer/producers Zion.T with The Session and DEAN, IDM/minimal house producer Haihm, K-Pop girl group Mamamoo, synth indie-rockers Love X Stereo, heavy metal worshippers/glam metal Victim Mentality, and more to be announced.

Love X Stereo will also be playing in the Culture Collide shows at SXSW on th 18th

Seoulsonic returns to The Majestic (419-B E 6th St) on Friday, March 18 for their seventh annual SXSW showcase with the breezy electro-pop of Neon Bunny, female post-rock trio Guten Birds, the Brit-pop embracing Bye Bye Badman, atmospheric electronic rock act HEO, reggae band Windy City, and electro-pop producer WYM.

(the SXSW picture above includes Big Phony, but doesn't say where he will be playing.)

CAAMfest in San Franscisco is hosting "Directions in Sound: Korean Showcase" with Big Phony, Love X Stereo, HEO and WYM on March 11th; tickets are still available.

---

Love X Stereo has turned to crowdfunding to make their new album -- their pledgemusic campaign has 13 days left and has not yet made goal.

Big Phony's Kickstarter just successfully ended, and given that it also worked for Stellar and Laboum, I suspect we'll be seeing a lot more of it from the indies/smaller companies.

Omona, are any of you going?

omggg i hope i can make the 18th for seoulsonic! not only neon bunny but wym too?? and then to top it off bye bye badman ugh it's too good to be true tbh. bye bye badman's album was one of the best last year, can't even count how many times i've listened to it. it'd be awesome if they played some of their old stuff too, i'd prolly cry if i get to hear panda bear & swiming pool live.
