LFC003: Channel Cairo – ‘Elephants’

April 26th, 2011 • News

We’re delighted to announce the addition of the wonderful Channel Cairo to our singles label roster, where they’ll join Ice Black Birds and The Collectable Few.

First seen at Laissez Faire Club opening the second night of our fourth birthday shows at The Macbeth in January, it was clear this lot are onto something special – which is why we’ve jumped on board, and will be putting out a newly recorded version of their dreamy, haunting number ‘Elephants’ on 8 August (check out the video of the demo version below).

It’ll be the band’s debut single, and will see the light of day on the usual formats – limited edition 7″ vinyl (500 copies), which will be available directly from us and all good independent stores, as well as digital download (iTunes included).

A single launch party with special guests will be announced shortly around that date – stay tuned for another announcement. However, in the meantime, you’re able to catch the band at the following London shows, one of which is with The Collectable Few this Thursday evening at The Borderline:

Thu, 28 April: The Borderline w/ The Collectable Few
Mon, 16 May: The Social w/ Bravestation Deep Sea Arcade (LFC night) TICKETS
Tue, 24 May: Hoxton Square Bar Kitchen w/ Wave Machines To Kill A King

SXSW Tour Part 3… Austin

How do I describe SXSW this year? RethinkPopMusic hosted 3 showcases, booked 11 local Austin bands and all the shows were FREE for ALL! Can any other label, booking agency or media outlet say that? NOPE! We also saw our largest and most enthusiastic crowds to date… without free booze!

I actually had some time on Tuesday and Wednesday to check out a few bands before our SXSW actually started. So we set out on a loosely organized meander through Austin stopping at a few predetermined destinations and then did some impromptu street walking. To my amazement, $15 – $20 covers were almost the status quo for folks sans badge, though the venues were EMPTY!!!

Now these were not marquee acts, but up-and-comers with a bit of buzz. But why alienate potential fans? I understand that the venue probably prison raped you with the rental price, but this is where the whole system is flawed. Venues would much rather have hundreds of people there buying drinks enjoying the music and becoming potential return clientele. But you assholes host showcases with nothing but electro-pop bands from out of town in hopes that some asshat (including me) with a blog writes a glowing review. This is why you fail and have turned SXSW into something ugly. What about the locals?!

Alright, being critical of others is not our thing at RethinkPopMusic and honestly why would we want to share our common sense? I also realize that if you’re reading this you’re probably just saying: “Who the hell are you?”

RethinkPopMusic’s first showcase at SXSW was Friday afternoon at Fado’s for our third consecutive year. We were pleasantly surprised with the enthusiasm of the crowd and all the bands really rolled up their sleeves to make it a success (we had to rotate 4 different drum kits throughout the showcase). Since this blog is all about Austin the following locals played: Elaine Greer, The Eastern Sea, Zorch and The Sour Notes.

The Eastern Sea:

Immediately following Fado’s we relocated to The Belmont less than a block away in a mad scramble (Fado’s ended at 8pm and The Belmont started at 8pm) . The attendance exceeded all expectations thanks to Whalers, Sunset, Little Lo, Follow That Bird and The Sour Notes.

Littel Lo:

Saturday night we hosted our last showcase at Chupacabra Cantina for the second year. We featured Superlite Bike, The Handshake and Marmalakes

As you can see, you don’t necessarily need big write ups and overly hyped bands to enjoy SXSW, just don’t shit on the locals. Thanks to Keith and staff at Fado’s, Katie and staff at The Belmont and Jason (expert power napper) and staff at Chupacabra Cantina your continued support is invaluable. Last and CERTAINLY not least, this year was only a success because of all the incredibly hard work of Jared from The Sour Notes… thank you!
