easy star all stars IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 Easy Star All-Stars
The East Star All-Stars are a collaboration of many different artists from the label who have come together to cover classic records, like Dark Side of the Moon, Ok Computer, and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club transforming them into deep dub and reggae grooves.  Their record, Dub Side of the Moon (2003), the complete reggae re-vision of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most successful reggae albums of the 21st century. It has spent over 5 years on Billboard’s Top Reggae Chart and Reggae Catalog Chart.

deer tick IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 Deer Tick
“War Elephant displays an astonishing level of complexity and lyrical depth in spite of its melodically simple facade. Maybe McCauley’s an older soul than he lets on.”
– Treble

Label: http://www.partisanrecords.com/

Artist: http://www.deertickmusic.com/
j tillman IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 J. Tillman
“Singer/songwriter J.Tillman’s music paints languid, sadly beautiful portraits of love and life on the margins with the moody depth of Nick Drake and the country-influenced textures of Ryan Adams.”
-Mark Deming, All Music Guide

Label: http://westernvinyl.com/

Artist: http://www.myspace.com/jtillman
we were promised IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 We Were Promised Jetpacks
“The phrase ‘guitar band’ covers a multitude of sinners in the pop battleground. We Were Promised Jetpacks, apart from having the best name in showbiz, meet all other requirements necessary to lift them above their peers. Their live sets rip along at breakneck pace but somehow deliver a mini-anthem in every tune, merging Postcard and C86 jangle with full-on alt.rock.”
- The List

Band: www.myspace.com/wewerepromisedjetpacks
blind pilot IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 Blind Pilot
“Sounds a lot like what James Mercer of The Shins would sound like if he recorded a solo, acoustic album. It’s quite wonderful”
-Paste Magazine

Label: http://www.expungedrecords.com/

Artist: http://blindpilotmusic.wordpress.com/
maus haus IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 maus haus
“Maus Haus combine a paranoid insomniac vibe with playful pop lines and cleverly cinematic lyrics that make them out to be the bastard child of Kraftwerk hanging with Captain Beefheart that would obviously have a video starring Simon Le Bon and the boys.  That is an admittedly nutso sentence, but it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what Maus Haus is – other than totally rad.”
-Christen Thomas, RCRD LBL

phenomenal handclap IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 The Phenomenal Handclap Band
Embassy Sound Productions’s Daniel Collás and Sean Marquand, two New York underground club DJs who became restless with the concept of playing other people’s music, began to focus on producing: The PHCB is their result. They are a supergroup comprised of a “who’s who” of the indie rock and underground soul scenes. Members of such diverse bands as TV on the Radio, L’Trimm, Calla, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Mooney Suzuki, and Sí Se all contribute their individual talents.
“New York’s answer to Broken Social Scene”

daestro IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 Deastro
“As synth-soaked electronic pop attacks the entire world, Detroit musicans have the distinct advantage of being surrounded by the click, whir and constant hum of factories and automobiles”
–Paste Magazine

Label: http://ghostly.com/

Artist: http://www.myspace.com/deastro
marching band IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 Marching Band
“I think what we have here is one of the dark horses of 2008, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Marching Band become one of the festival-circuit buzz bands next year. Girls room poster-worthy pop, indeed.”
–Other Music

Label: http://www.urbandlazar.com/

Artist: http://www.marchingband.se/index.php
theresa andersson IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 Theresa Andersson
Melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre; these are the traditional building blocks of pop music. Recorded in her kitchen, DIY indie-pop songstress Theresa Andersson plucked, picked and even tapped everything from violins to soda pop bottles to create her uniquely beautiful album alongside songwriter/producer Tobias Froberg (Peter Moren’s The Last Tycoon).

“Brokenness, resolve, loneliness and redemption pour from the belly deep grain in her vice. Recommended.”
– All Music Guide

Label: http://www.basinstreetrecords.com/

Artist: http://www.myspace.com/theresaanderssonmusic

ylabamba IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash 2009 Y La Bamba
“This is an astonishingly confident breakthrough with a precise scope in its angelical vocals and the revelatory lyricism which is evocative and religiously codified. With huge possibilities to succeed in the world music circuit, it’s also a charmingly catchy album that should be able to overpass its folk and break into the pastoral side of the melodramatic popular song.”

The second EP, Holland, showcases Zach’s latest bedroom-style recordings under his former moniker Realpeople.

“Feel. Love. Thinking. Of.”
Friendly Fire Recordings
Electronic : Indie
UPC: 844185024792
Territories: World		 With its effervescent guitars, mathematic loops and synthesizers, surging drums, and seemingly nomadic bass lines, Feel.Love.Thinking.Of., the second full-length from Canadian up-and-comers Faunts, is both more ambitious in its conception and more focused in its execution than anything the band has done before.

UPC: 751937345121
Territories: World ex-EU		 Six years since their last full release, Otis Fodder and Mildred Pitt return with the thrillingly fun I Have Hands on Illegal Art. Formed in 1992, The Bran Flakes have already put out 7 releases of zany mashups and poppy audio collages that are more likely to cop a riff from Evel Knievel than anything on the current radio dial.
