SXSW

So we all know the South X Southwest Film and Music Festival is the shiznit, so I'd just like to do a shout-out to my favorite band playing this year: Monokino. This electronic trio hails from Holland and Beijing producing a unique sound that is playful and smart at the same moment. Right now they are the rage in Holland, Germany and China showing the broad diversity and catchiness of their beats. I think its something like a cross between Franz Ferdinand, The Darkness, and Vampire Weekend. Cute and kitschy, check it out on the sxsw.com website ^_^
