Mister Ex-Guided By Voices
1) ROBERT POLLARD @ SXSW
for those of you lucky enough to be heading out to Austin this week, Must Destroy / Merge recording artiste, former Guided By Voices frontman / somgwriter / genius, and all 'round awesome guy, ROBERT POLLARD will be performing two shows towards the end of the event.
firstly, the Merge / Sub-Pop Party @ Pok-E-Jo's 1603 W.5th Street (1pm - 6pm)
Bob's onstage at 5pm
free entry
next, the Merge SxSW Showcase @ Antone's 213 W.5th St.
Bob's onstage at 1am.
free to badges / wristbands etc. capacity permitting.
as the chances of Bob and band making it over to the UK / Europe anytime soon are looking very slim indeed, this could be your only opportunity to see it.
(anyone who was lucky enough to witness GBV in live action knows exactly why its worth the effort)
Must Destroy will be out there (well, one of us at least), so drop a line on ian@mustdestroymusic.com if there's any further questions re; the above.
Robert Pollard's first post-GBV solo album 'From A Compund Eye' is in stores now on Must Destroy (Merge in the U.S)

Martha Wainwright
Martha returns to SxSw after a wonderful and successful year. She joins Snow Patrol at Stubb's on Friday at 1am to sing the song she's done with them on their new album (which sounds grander and more Reindeer Section than anything on their last record) and then she plays her own show at Eternal on Saturday at 11pm.

This Years Novelty
12 Year Old Australian garage rock?
No, not a band that have been chugga-chugging for 12 aimless years, but a band with an average age of 12.
They're called The Flairz and they sound wise beyond their years. And everyone loves kids.

The party, named Absolute Debauchery is a guaranteed way to kick your ass on the festival’s first night. Featuring performances from Gogol Bordello, ¡Drowned in Sound does SXSW - prologues and warnings
The hangover is a horizon away and the wolves are begging me to play in the traffic. Drowned in Sound (or in less pretentious first person DiS Founder Sean Adams) is currently looking for its passport and wondering where the time will come to wash festering underwear in the next 9 days amongst checking out nearly 3000 bands to try to work out who to see. We realise we're not alone.
The idea of this blog is simple. We're gonna give away what we think is worth seeing and collate together the very best information regarding parties and showcases from the floods of information currently hitting the web. If you recommend other stuff, just say. If you're in a band and think we might like you, then maybe drop us an email. Bare in mind DiS is the label that discoveredand kicked-started the Kaiser Chiefs career and Martha Wainwright and has a roster that boasts canadian rock sensation Metric and some might say the most beautiful band in Europe, some say the world, Jeniferever. So the bar is set rather, unnaturally, high. We mostly heart (and recommend thing in red) things that sound like Elliott Smith backed by Spirtualized, or Cat Power fronting Explosions in the Sky or The Shins atop a messy mountain of Les Savy Fav fans and Radio Dept's fuzzy feedback. Despite that we're not afraid of hooks and chaos. We're excited about seeing pirate ship sinkers Man, Man - if that helps at all?
Enough meandering introduction. We'll get on with updates tomorrow. Or biw,
For more goto http://www.drownedinsound.com or http://www.disrecords.com or even Sean's personal myspace http://www.myspace.com/disboy .
And there's a DiS podcast that you can subscribe to by searching iTunes for "Drowned in Sound" or goto http://www.drownedinsound.com/radio we're doing a special SXSW preview show for your trip there next week.
