This week, most of the entertainment world looks to Austin, Texas to see what's coming next in music, film and culture. Whether it's the week of SXSW, or any random Thursday night, Austin is known as the "Live Music Capitol of the World." But as the city continues to develop, it has led to tensions between artists and the city around them.

Winter's Bone Musicians Play A Truck Stop

By Kevin Keller at 10:00 AM on March 11, 2011

Paste already hailed Winter's Bone as the #3 Best Film of 2010. Now, we're excited about the musicians featured in the film as well.

Click below to watch Tedi May and his fellow musicians play a song at a truck stop on their way to Los Angeles.

By Kevin Keller at 9:30 AM on March 11, 2011

Holcombe Waller's new song "Hardliners" seems to perfectly balance pop hooks with dark instrumentation and backing vocals to create a song that is equal parts "catchy" and "haunting." The video features dancer/choreographer Miguel Gutierrez and was directed by Daniel Fickle of Two Penguins Productions. read more

By Kevin Keller at 12:00 PM on March 8, 2011

Any decent financial consultant will tell you that having a band with seven members is not an efficient business strategy. Then again, if you're thinking about fiscal solvency while listening to the Portland-based mega-band AgesandAges, do we ever feel sorry for you. Watch the new video for "So So Freely" and enjoy a moment of joyous musical abandonment. read more

Video Premiere - The Making of Paleface's One Big Party

By Kevin Keller at 12:00 PM on March 3, 2011

Calling Paleface's music "folk" feels a bit like calling a bar brawl "a disagreement." Technically it might be correct, but the word feels inadequate.

Watch the new Bill Antonucci (of Duke Street) documentary chronicling the making of the recently-released record, One Big Party, and you'll see what we mean. read more

Video Premiere: Yellowbirds - "The Rest of My Life"

By Kevin Keller at 12:00 PM on March 1, 2011

This video is awesome for three reasons. 1. It features the lovely song "The Rest of My Life" from the new record The Color, by Yellowbirds (aka Sam Cohen). 2. The video was handmade by Cohen using stop-motion animation, and it looks really cool. 3. Thanks to frenetic bright flashing colors throughout, this video could be played in order to defend oneself from any would-be attackers who happen to be epileptic. Watch and enjoy! read more

Video Premiere: Adele on "I'll Be Waiting" and "He Wont Go"

By Kevin Keller at 3:52 PM on February 11, 2011

We don't need to tell you that Adele is pretty great. But you might need a "heads up" that the
British singer songwriter will be releasing her sophomore album February 22nd on Columbia/ XL Records. To celebrate the release, Adele is offering "21 Days of Adele" to countdown the release. Today's video offers some insight into two songs from the upcoming record.

Check out the exclusive premiere of the video “Mach Bach” from New Orleans-based Empress Hotel.Lucky for everyone, PETA doesn’t care much about balloons, because 1,500 of them were harmed during the making of this video. Balloon cruelty activists are welcomed to send angry letters to the video’s director, Drew Stubbs. Hache Haratta of the band explains “we had a bunch of leftover balloons from the [New Year’s] holiday, not to mention we all really, really like latex and glitter so we said fuck it, let’s make this our music video.” In addition to popping an insane number of balloons, Empress... read more

Suckers Play A Parking Lot

By Kevin Keller at 2:00 PM on February 10, 2011

It’s no secret that Paste likes asking musicians to perform in rather strange places. We’ve had the Avett Brothers play the skybuckets in Jackson Hole, Chairlift play the Bonnaroo Ferris Wheel and Madi Diaz play a rooftop pool in Austin, Texas. This time, we got a little less creative, and asked Suckers to play the parking lot outside of The Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. Maybe Paste deserves a “C-” for originality with this one, but Suckers deserve an “A” for awesome. embedVideo("http://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/video/2011/02/suckers_getsyourbody.flv", 1, 614, 347, false); ... read more
