2011 SXSW Music Podcast No. 1: O'Death, Class Actress, The Dears
Six tracks including Ice Black Birds, Kokayi, Tristen in advance of Austin fest
Class Actress' Elizabeth Harper
While there's somewhere between 700 and 1,000 acts showing up in Austin for official South By Southwest showcases, a number excess of that is far more accurate. It's overwhelming, on purpose.
HitFix is heading down to the Texas capitol again this year, and it's my pleasure to help parse some of the clutter.
Each day leading up to March 16, SXSW Music's kick-off, I'll be posting a podcast featuring a handful of acts I'd recommend checking out.
Today (March 10) includes tracks from rockers Ice Black Birds, Nashville newcomer Tristen, dream-pop troupe Class Actress, Canadian imports The Dears, killer live act O'Death and Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist Kokayi.
SXSW runs March 16-20.
Here is the tracklist for HitFix 2011 SXSW Music Podcast No. 1:
Ice Black Birds, "22.22"
Class Actress, "Careful What You Say"
The Dears, "Blood"
O'Death, "Bugs"
Kokayi, "Nicotine"

OFF!, Parts and Labor and Ted Leo will all be performing at SXSW this year, and are worth your time much more than that weak hipster's definition of what passes as a rock band in 2011.
