You might not get a deep-fried Mars Bar in Austin, but you will get the soundtrack. Full list below, aye. ]]> http://showburner.com/sxsw/scottish-bands-at-sxsw-2010-the-view-are-out-codeine-velvet-club-mull-historical-society-young-fathers-are-in Enormous Band List Of Doom just keeps on getting bigger, and from a quick whizz down the list, I can see that ever-such-nice-boys Athlete, as well as Ian MacLagan & The Bump Band (he was in the Small Faces, y'know) have been added to the British SXSW contingent.]]> http://showburner.com/sxsw/ian-maclagan-and-athlete-confirm-as-list-keeps-swelling Fanfarlo are to play at Californian radio station KCRW's evening showcase on Weds, 17 Mar, representing Britain alongside a globe-spanning line-up including Ozomatli, Mike Snow, Choir Of Young Believers, Soko and Fitz And The Tantrums.]]> http://showburner.com/sxsw/fanfarlo-sxsw-showcase-confirmed live on sxsw.com, but this is the list of British bands playing SXSW 2010 that we've got together so far. Let us know if you hear of anyone we've missed - there's probably loads, since there's no longer an easy-to-scan list sorted by country yet. Latest scan through it shows up Stricken City, Pulled Apart By Horses and Marina And The Diamonds all added to the Brit-list. There's also a Twitter list we've put together of showcasing Brits that you can follow here.]]> http://showburner.com/sxsw/british-bands-at-sxsw-2010-as-at-20th-jan The Pop Cop, there have clearly been some late nights and some square eyes as they've gone through Google and listed all the Scottish bands they could find on Bandcamp. I'd taken my eye off Bandcamp, but on the back of this list it looks like it's getting some traction from bands (Frightened Rabbit, Meursault, Amanda Palmer for example), and I've got all my fingers and toes tied up in knots this continues, because - just like everyone else - I'm flat-out sick of linking to them simply by default. The Pop Cop's got the scoop though, so have a nose around, tell bands about it, tell your friends about it and encourage it. It's just better that way.]]> http://showburner.com/blog/pop-cop-goes-google-eyed-doing-the-rest-of-us-a-favour-with-bandcamp-trawl Come On Gang! shows. I stumbled across them by total accident a while back, and since I really, really liked them back then, I think I might now be getting a bit snow-blind and maternal when it comes to trying to be objective and all that guff. Essentially, I'm worried I might have completely crossed the line between "Hey, here's a band I like, and here are the reasons why" over into "I'm a total fucking slavering fanboy and they can do no wrong anymore". That said, I've been in an absolutely towering fucking temper all day long, with less tolerance than normal for dumbness, inconvenience or, in particular, people not living up to expectations. So, if something can cheer me up today, there's probably an awful lot good about it - and I've just got back from the Come On Gang! show at Sneaky Pete's and I'm grinning like a bit of an idiot.]]> http://showburner.com/blog/live/come-on-gang-sneaky-petes-edinburgh-16th-jan spelled it out to me, clearly neither do lots of other writers either.]]> http://showburner.com/blog/five-stars-superb-a-triumph-thatll-be-five-hundred-quid-please Allo Darlin' spared the time to talk to us.]]> http://showburner.com/sxsw/sxsw-preview-allo-darlin Lightspeed Champion dressed as Elvis doing “Devil In Disguise” (pictured), there's another video for the same song as was posted a few months ago from Maps, Adam Green's gone video mental (third in a week), and Julian Casablancas' video for “The 11th Dimension” features daft headgear but – fairly importantly, I reckon – no actual sound.
