Whether you’re going to SXSW or not, we’ve got you covered.
Ahead of our SXSW Free For All showcases this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at Cheer Up Charlies, we made three playlists featuring day-by-day staff picks.
On Thursday, revisit the terrors and joys of adolescence with T-Rextasy’s campy ode to pimples, “The Zit Song,” and Sidney Gish’s phosphorescent romance tale, “Not But For You, Bunny.” On Friday, groove to Public Practice’s existential, math-rock jam, “Foundation,” and Flint Eastwood’s moody pop epic, “Queen.” And on Saturday, check out Miya Folick’s sugary synth banger, “Freak Out,” and Tiny Jag’s hypnotic rap vignette, “Plug Doll.”
See the full the playlists here, and RSVP to our showcases here.
