Head over to Minty Fresh and grab some free SXSW tracks!
It would seem that these Minty artists: We Are Standard, Beangrowers, Ezra Furman & The Harpoons, and White Shoes & The Couples Company are all going to be at that massive SXSW show. SXSW hasn't even happened yet, and I'm already sick of hearing about it, haha!
The funniest title among these four songs seems to be the Stone Roses-inspired song, "I Wanna be Ignored" by Ezra Furman & The Harpoons. The song is a fun little quick number with a lot of jangly guitars. Also note: clapping.
I don't know what We Are Standard normally sounds like, but their song, "On The Floor" suggests you rock and worship them.
I also really dug Beangrowers, the lyrics and singing is really good and you'd think they were American, but they're from Malta (a small country near Italy). I will have to get back to this band later, my main focus for today's post is for Indonesia's White Shoes & The Couples Company.
Rolling Stones and All Music Guide seems really smitten with this band, naming them "the best 25 bands on Myspace" and "25 most crushworthy bands of 2006", respectively.
I can see why, Aprilia Apsari's vocals is very sweet and the music is very indiepop.
The good news is that they're doing some rare US tour dates - so if you're in SF, please contact me.
