Here We Go Magic :: Daytrotter, Laundromatinee, Tour w/ Grizzly Bear

Here We Go Magic have had a fairly successful year so far. In addition to playing numerous venues around Austin during SXSW (including a WOXY session), they've spent the month of May making the rounds on Daytrotter and MOKB's Laundromatinee series.

Currently on tour with blog darlings Grizzly Bear, they'll both be joining us again here in Austin on June 16th at The Parish. We hope you have your tickets, cause this ones been SOLD OUT since early May! Great news though, both bands will be back to play this year's Austin City Limits Festival.

Chairlift announce SXSW Dates

One of the acts we are excited to see at this years SXSW is Chairlift. I didn't run out and buy an iPod Nano when their track Bruises was featured as the song in that campaign but it was still nice to see them getting the "Apple" treatment. The band will be touring with everyone this year but most importantly (at least to us) is the announcement of SXSW showcases. You can check out a full list of tour dates at their official site and check out their recent Daytrotter session.

The Parish will play host to The Walkmen this October (c'mon did you really think it would be any other month?) here in Austin. Tickets info should be announced in the near future.

They also recorded a Daytrotter session last week which you can listen to/download the songs here.
