Last month, prior to their appearance at SXSW 2013, we gave away Scanners‘ ‘Control’ in this mp3 of the day and more post. The song featured on the the ‘Mexico’ EP, and now you can grab the mp3 of the title track here.
Scanners will be making a couple high-profile appearances at SXSW next week, so it’s perfect timing that the four-piece are offering up their track ‘Control’ from their new EP ‘Mexico’, out this week on Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak label. Grab it below. Also below is the video for title track ‘Mexico’, as well as a list of all their SXSW appearances below for your convenience.
SXSW 2013 appearances:
Wednesday 13th March – Dim Mak Showcase, 418 E. 6th Str, time TBA
Thursday 14th March – Soho Lounge, 217 E. 6th Street, 10 PM
Saturday 16th March – Beautiful Buzz / Deli Radio, Brew Exchange, 706 E. 6th Street, 6:50 PM
The folks at SXSW decided to make my life more complicated in adding more bands last Thursday (10/01/2013) to their officially showcasing list. Since I’d already published my pop and pop hybrid UK act list last Tuesday, I decided it wouldn’t be fair to leave anyone out, so here is an addendum…
Camera Obscura – I couldn’t be happier that Traceyanne Campbell and company are heading back to these shores, after only seeing them once – in 2009 – in support of ‘My Maudlin Career’, which still rates highly on my favourite albums of all time. Sterling songwriting that tickles the heartstrings? Yes, please.
Frightened Rabbit – Scottish indie rock band that started out as a cult favourite in Britain but are now pretty much household names in America, selling out increasingly larger venues on every successive North American tour. The group from Selkirk is showing everyone how it’s done – with great songs and loads of hard work.
Catch all of our previous coverage on Frightened Rabbit here.
Lovelife – whatever to became to Viva Brother? Singer Leonard Newell and former Mirrors member Ally Young have reconvened to this poppier duo.
Scanners – eclectic alt-pop band from London already beloved by America and the UK for all the times their songs that have already been used in television spots.
