´óÏó´«Ã½ Introducing Showcase
The ´óÏó´«Ã½ Introducing team will be making their way out to Austin on Thursday March 13 for a special showcase hosted by Steve Lamacq. Steve has picked out five of his favourite new bands from the UK and US for the night, and brings 6 Music listeners the best moments on his show, which comes live from SXSW on March 14.
The line up includes hotly tipped Brooklyn band MGMT, Edward Larrikin’s new venture The Pan I Am, indie-electro duo I Was A Cub Scout, South London’s Florence And The Machine and New Hampshire four-piece Wild Light, fresh from their support slot on the Arcade Fire tour.
Those not lucky enough to make it can hear highlights across the following week on 6 Music, Radio 1 and Radio 2, while we’ll keep you up to date with the artists’ progress on this blog.
If you can’t wait until then, the good folk at ´óÏó´«Ã½ Introducing have some shiny new videos from some shiny new acts on their shiny new website, which I highly recommend you check out. Here’s one from their recent ´óÏó´«Ã½ Introducing night on Radio 1, featuring fellow SXSW 2008 act Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip.
Really looking forward to this show - not only for the chance to see what Ed Larrikin's up to these days, but because one of our listeners called Paddy has been bigging up Florence And The Machine - "You HAVE to see F.A.T.M!!! Wonderful In Every Way. Make you want to dance your socks off and grin ear to ear..."
