freebie- couldn't wait to share

We Are Enfant Terrible, the French trio that adorably and with gramatically-incorrect-enthusiasm defines their music as "an electro dance sound with indie rock and synthpop sounds and a touch of 8bit music", has a free download of their single "Filthy Love" on their site. Click here to get there. Be warned: their site is just as jumbled, energetic, and colorful as their music. Also, if you're going to SXSW this year, you'll have a chance to see them live.

ferocious few

I'm a fan of buskers, being that I know a few and have seen how much it means to them to even have a few onlookers toss a dollar their way. These buskers are a new discovery to me and soon to be discovered by many more people than the passers-by in their native city of San Francisco (especially since their appearance last year at SXSW). The Ferocious Few, a two man band a la The White Stripes or The Black Keys, have gained a following for their unique style of garage rock- subbing out the usual blues influence for a country/folk twang. The result is something like folk-punk. I'm not so good at naming genres...maybe because there are way too many already, so just listen and think happy thrash-punk-folk-rock thoughts.

Here's their music video for Loc'd Out, which chronicles a night of geurilla projections across the city set to their music. Rad.
