SXSW :: South By SouthWest Announcements! News!!

FrontRunners (Caroline Suh) is one of the movie listed in the Cinematical Seven - I was glad to see this movie get even a tiny theatrical release this fall, after raving about it at SXSW back in March. But barely anyone saw it, and they missed out. A sly, subtle, observational documentary about a bunch of very smart, very interesting kids, it trains the limelight on the sort of people you don't normally see in the movies -- the people who eventually become our leaders.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have two upcoming NYC shows scheduled. The first is February 7th at Mercury Lounge which is also the first date of a tour the NYC band is going on with The Depreciation Guild. Cause CO-Motion! is also on the Manhattan bill and tickets are on sale. The second is March 13th at the Bell House which is the first date of a tour the band is playing on their way to SXSW.

Their self-titled album (pictured above) will be released in February 2009. Grab two tracks from it above. Check out a video, some pics from the show they played at MHOW with Bishop Allen in November, and all tour dates, below...

heck, i'm going to copy the article itself, why not copy and make the title post the same right?

Suicide Squeeze Records have announced their SXSW '09 showcase, including performances from These Arms Are Snakes, Past Lives, Human Highway, Cotton Jones, and The Coathangers.
