Jeremy Peruski writesMusic in Pictures: DC vs. Austin CHIRP Sponsored Showcase @ SXSW 03/15/13
This is the last South by Southwest post, I promise. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share with you some awesome photos I took @ Side Bar in Austin, Texas during CHIRP's sponsored showcase at SXSW. There were two stages during this day showcase featuring Austin bands on the outside stage and DC bands on the inside stage. Through out the day I ran back and forth between the outdoor stage and the indoor stage so I could capture all the action! Here is what I have for you...

Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesRediscovering Our Record Collections: “Homogenic” by Björk
When Pitchfork Media announced earlier this year that Björk Guðmundsdóttir would be performing at this summer’s annual music festival, I scratched my head a little. Not because it would be weird to have Bjork there – I was trying to figure out why she hasn’t performed there yet. If there were ever a music event and an artist made for each other, these two would be it: eclectic, reveling in their originality, and possessing the kind of persona that invites obsessive behavior from fans.

Kelsey Phillips writesDon’t Miss CHIRP Night at The Whistler with Les Racquet and Hemmingbirds!
Need an excuse to exceed your average $3 tallboy budget? Head over to the Whistler on April 8th and enjoy some absurdly delicious cocktails with the added bonus of some good live music. This month's CHIRP night at the Whistler features Brooklyn trio Les Racquet, who are sure pleasure us with some rockin' three-part vocal harmonies, as well as the home town indie rock quintet Hemmingbirds.
If that isn't enough to hook you, CHIRP DJs will be playing after the sets, accompanying a raffle with some gnarly prizes. If you're gonna drop a few extra bucks on some yummy cocktails, why not do it with good people and good music, all the while supporting your local community-based radio station? AND there's no cover! This, my friends, is an offer you can't refuse (unless you're under 21, since this is a 21+ event; sorry kids!).
