The RPMs Words & Photos: Elena Katrina Brighton’s The RPMs have not been shy in coming forward when it comes to getting people’s attention and getting where they want to be. They wanted to be at SXSW so here we found them. The band have been traipsing up and down the UK making fans and … Continue reading
SXSW With: Our Girl
Our Girl Words & Photos: Elena Katrina It’s OK to see a band you like more than once in a few weeks, it’s OK to see them 4 times in less than 3 weeks, I know this, because I’ve done it. I did it with Our Girl, though it wasn’t necessarily intentionally but if they’re … Continue reading
SXSW With: Only Girl
Only Girl Words & Photos: Elena Katrina I discovered Only Girl a few years back and I don’t really recall where or how, I just know that her vocal was mesmerising. Not long after I managed to see her play to a very small group of people at a very small and very wonderful independent … Continue reading
SXSW With: Breakfast Muff
Breakfast Muff Words and Photos: Elena Katrina I’ll be honest… I’ve never seen Breakfast Muff play live before, I don’t even know, truthfully still, if I’ve sat down and listened to them before now. I’ve seen their name on posters and I’ve heard them being talked about so I figured, when is best to get … Continue reading
SXSW With: Tijuana Bibles
Tijuana Bibles Words & Photos: Elena Katrina Sometimes bands can fall off your radar and throw themselves right back in when you least expect it. Not to say that I never thought Tijuana Bibles would be at SXSW but as they’d not been in my field of view for a while I was really happy … Continue reading
SXSW With: Pale Waves
Pale Waves Words & Photos: Elena Katrina Do you want to do something with Pale Waves at SXSW was the e-mail I had a few weeks ago. YES! Was my answer… then nothing, zip, nada. Then when chased “they’re not doing press”. NO. Not taking that as an answer because that’s not true. So when … Continue reading
SXSW With: Flyte
Flyte Words & Photos: Elena Katrina I’ve never interviewed a band at 11pm before, that I can recall, because that usually means they’ve already been on stage to play. Not this time though, with a hefty 12.20 set time 11pm seemed a reasonable time to meet up in Downtown Austin with Flyte ahead of their … Continue reading
SXSW With: Catholic Action
Catholic Action Words & Photos: Elena Katrina Imagine you are at a party and you meet a guy and you say hi and not much more. No big deal right? Then imagine you stand in line for 20 minutes later to see a band you reeeeaallly like and when you get in you head to … Continue reading
SXSW With: Francobollo
Francobollo Words and Photos: Elena Katrina Discovering new bands is my thing, even if I’m late to the party – and I’m late to the party with Francobollo. But last night I found myself watching them for the first time and wondering why the hell that was, because they are so great; engaging, slightly unhinged, … Continue reading
SXSW With: Wlydest
Wyldest I’ve not long stepped off the plane and already I find myself headed straight to where the action is. The British action at least. I’m stood in The British Music Embassy on Latitude 30 for my first ever SXSW and it occurs to me that this is the place I can catch up with … Continue reading

Yet here I … Continue reading
