Lightspeed Champion

What better way to enjoy the live delights of Band of Horses, Laura Marling, Lightspeed Champion, The Panics, Sigur Ros, Devo, The Vines, The Presets, Cold War Kids (and many more) than to see them performing at Australia’s (and one of the world’s) great music festivals, Splendour In The Grass. The festival is located on the outskirts of Byron Bay, long-renowned for its incredible weather, great food, startlingly beautiful beaches and….er, dope. Stay tuned as the line-up additions will only get better and better.

We’re finally able to announce the line-up of our 2008 SXSW party! We’ve been beavering away for the past few months with our friends at Ground Control Touring and Harp Magazine to put together our best ever SXSW party. The Garden Party takes place in the grounds of the French Legation Museum – a quick hop, skip and a jump across  the I-35 from the main drag of 6th street – on Saturday March 15th, noon – 8pm. Get there early, grab some food, an ice cold beer, and kick back for a day of great new music.
