We’re so excited to announce our annual SXSW showcase! Come celebrate with us at Parkside (corner of E. 6th St. & San Jacinto) on Tuesday, March 12th at 7pm. (RSVP here)
We’ve recruited some of our favorite bands: El Sportivo & The Blooz, NO, Hands, QUITAPENAS, Strange Names and Doe Paoro. Go on, listen to some of the great songs they’ve released.

“If you consider yourself not just a listener but also a connoisseur of authenticity in music, you’re definitely going to want to keep your ear to the ground for Daron Hollowell and his crew,” writes Andrew Poitras of Diffuser.fm.
Moody Sweet Song for Winter
If you like Beachhouse or Mazzy Star, then this track, “Clover”, by El Sportivo & The Blooz should be sitting in your iPod for those melancholic beautiful days… Download this song for free here: El Sportivo (download MP3).
"Waking World" Video Premiere!
El Sportivo & The Blooz “Waking World” from Black/White Iris Music on Vimeo.
We’re excited to announce the premiere of the video for “Waking World”, directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada (Doomsday Entertainment).
“Fitting with the lap steel licks and country undercurrent of the latest from our pals El Sportivo & the Blooz, the cinematic interpretation of “Waking World” is a four-minute modern Western that takes on a magically surreal twist at the end.”
Head on over to Interview Magazine to read the full article and stream the video (again).

Brooklyn band El Sportivo & The Blooz will release their debut album, Nights & Weekends, next week (2/26) via White Iris, the label that gave us early tastes of Best Coast, Guards and FIDLAR. As the band’s name implies, they’ve got a dusty, bluesy rock sound and we’ve got the premiere of the album’s lead track, “Breaks My Heart,” which you can stream below.
The band will play a record release show in NYC on February 27 at Pianos which is also part of the last week of Cascading Slopes and Ludwig Persik’s residence there. Rumors and Twin Wave also play and advance tickets are available.
