Surf City Sit Out SXSW & Prep New Music Insteadnew

For an upcoming band, the commercial and numerical growth of SXSW isn't necessarily a beneficial one. The likelihood of catching someone's ear naturally diminishes when there's greater competition. So instead of enduring the rigmarole of a 24-hour flight from Auckland just to play Austin, Surf City is touching down in the U.S. to kick off a short tour, during which the band will hopefully scrounge together enough cash to fund an extended stay in New York City so they can record more music.

Gogol Bordello: Just Gypsies Passing Throughnew

The great danger of Gogol Bordello's music is that it resonates with rootless Americans, searching for identity and fairly blasé about grammar ourselves. Amidst the good-time atmosphere of their songs, listeners find themselves drawn into a message they might otherwise have dismissed as hippie BS.
