[Watch] Jay-Z's SXSW American Express Sync Show
As you're all probably aware, the next week is a musical extravaganza in Austin, TX as thousands of music revellers and bands take to the streets for the worlds biggest music festival. To get things kicked off in style, Jay-Z performed a show in partnership with American Express and the entire show in turn was streamed online. Now Mr. Worldpremire.net has uploaded the entire show for us all to enjoy again and again. He blasts through a greatest hits set including "99 Problems", "Hard Knock Life" and "I'm a Hustler Baby". Part one is at the top with the remainder of the show being up for viewing after the jump.
[Watch] Breton - "Interference" (Official Video)
As London sonic and visual experimentalists Breton prep for their first shows in the US where they will make the rounds at SXSW before stopping in for their NYC debut the following Wednesday, the band has unveiled the video for their new single, "Interference", from their upcoming debut full length Other People's Problems, out on March 26th via Fat Cat. As with every one of their videos, "Interference" takes on a life of its very own, trailing a man throught his day, all the while only being able to see the back of his head. Very cleverly executed concept.
FatCat is offering some really great pre-order deals for Other People's Problems. I'm personally going to be grabbing the medium vinyl bundle for myself, so be sure to have a look at those. NYC fans, we'll have something for you tomorrow, so keep your eyes right here.
Extensive list of the bands US and Europe tour dates can be found after the jump.
[Download] Yukon Blonde - "Stairway"
I hope you're ready for a poptastic indie rock jam because Vancouver's Yukon Blonde is bringing forth the catchy awesomeness in the form of their single, "Stairway" from their upcoming full length release Tiger Talk, which is set for a March 20th release. As if they haven't been touring enough in the past year, clocking in a 62+ day North America, the band is prepping for a world wide tour, which includes appearances during SXSW.
If you're hardcore into "Stairway", the band will be releasing a 7" of the single on January 31st, so be on the lookout for that as well.

[Watch] Foster The People - "Houdini" (Live From The AOL Interface At SXSW)
Of all the bands I kept trying to see at SXSW but failed miserably at, Foster The People was one that I really REALLY wanted to catch live. When you hear an EP like theirs, you immediately thereafter hope that they can make that kinda energy happen live. Well, from the looks of this video of "Houdini" from Spinner's official SXSW showcase they can pull it off quite well in fact.
You can check the whole performance over on The Interface.
The band is also playing a messload of shows from now till July, so be sure to check them out if they're in your town.

[SXSW 2011] Watch: OFWGKTA at 'Mess With Texas'
For the hype surrounding Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All and their leader Tyler, The Creator they were never short of a crowd at SXSW in Austin, Texas last week. They even left after just 3 songs at their showcase with Billboard. However for the free event at Mess With Texas was a buzz as fans flocked to the sweaty indoor stage and with just 10 minutes left before the group were to hit the stage the announcement came that it had been moved to the outside stage and madness ensued as fans and people eager to see them meet the hype flocked to the other stage. On arrival to the stage signs with "Free Earl" weren't hard to spot and just a few minutes later Syd took to the stage to set up her headphones and beats.
