A couple of weeks ago we launched AKRadio, our new internet music player accessible via the link you see just below our logo. We started with a few Rafter cuts, but promised more content. We love to follow up on promises, and so, without further ado, here is a new playlist stocked with SXSW goodness. This carefully crafted playlist features artists from our upcoming Austin, TX showcase, who have generously provided some exclusive content accessible only on AKRadio.
We are also pleased to announce that our showcase is now sponsored by both Daytrotter and KTRU Houston. KTRU Houston will also be sponsoring our Unusual Animals Day Party. See the tour page for more details.
The playlist includes:
- Performances from My Brightest Diamond and Castanets for Daytrotter, a sponsor of our showcase (thanks Daytrotter!)
- A Castanets cover of “Like a Pen” by the ever-popular Scandinavaian band The Knife
- Shapes and Sizes provide an outtake from their forthcoming album “Split Lips, Winning Hips, A Shiner,” due May 22nd
- Rafter offers up the previously unreleased track "Yum Yum”
- A cover of a Baby Dee song from Austin’s Weird Weeds
- "Daemon Meeting," a previously unreleased track by K-Records artists Old Time Relijun
- A two song introduction to the up-and-coming Austin band The Field Guides (they've even penned a recent sidebar entry, which you can read here)
