Being There is a four piece band from London, gearing up for a big 2013. If you’re a fan of Dinosaur Jr, Yuck, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and the like, you’ll dig the hazy alt-rock these guys are putting out. Being There will release it’s debut album Breaking Away on January 29, here in the US. In the meantime, check out the video for “The Radio” (my personal favorite), then head on over to bandcamp for more tracks. And if you happen to be in the UK, catch a show with the Shinies.
The first wave of invited acts schedule to perform at the 27th edition of the SXSW Music Festival have been announced. This list only scratches the surface of what is sure to be yet another impressive lineup. Check out the complete list here, but a few of the highlights include — alt-J, Atlas Genius, Haim, He’s My Brother She’s My Sister, Holy Esque, Humans, The Postelles, Said The Whale, San Cisco, and Why?. SXSW will take place this year March 12-17 in Austin, TX.
