Ghislain Poirier
I was asked to perform at the Ninja Tune showcases to support Ghislain Poirier.
There was The Canadian BBQ Bash 3/13, then the actual showcase at club Elysium 3/14.

Ghislain's riddims never fail to excite the people when we play out. Although SXSW is more of an Indie Rock festival, even the sparse crowd of hipsters seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves.


Anyway, I also rocked with Megasoid, was very impressed with Cadence Weapon, got to meet people from various distributors, promoters and had an AWKWARD azz conversation with a Lady from MTV:

"Zulu This is Julie"

"HI! :o)
......................Hi ........................ um... ok...
is this your girlfriend?..... Did you organize this event? Distributor? Radio.........? Video....? Bouncer? Fighter Pilot?"

{{What kind of intro is that? That, my friends is a bad set-up.}}
Love uno still... You too Julie :o)


Megasoid

While so many respected journalists have struggled to accurately describe the Megasoid sound... here's another failed attempt:

The combination of Hip-Hop artist Sixtoo, and Wolf Parade's Hadji Baraka, is known as Megasoid. Their sound is a Hip-Hop / Turbo crunk hybrid, vagely reminiscent of Neptunes / Timbaland synth lines... only injected with HGH. (the worst description of all.lol)

Megasoid has just dropped their mixtape entitled Tank Thong, which features the ZULU collaboration "Student Riot"

Media...
Honestly, so many cameras were there... I figured there would be lots of things to post.. ... I guess we'll see after a while.


Video of Frikstailers (from a Party crew named ZIZEK) spinning a remix from the Acappellas project! I didn't even know they were at SXSW! Well It is very much appreciateddd..

The Pack A.D.

Also I exchanged lots of CDs with artists. This was my favorite one of the bunch... (which means listened to it several times, and loaded to i-pod)

I would describe their sound as kind of an updated turn on Janis Joplin-styled, Blues vocals. The backing music is electric guitar and drum driven. (my descriptions probably piss artists off.lol, but they are just my humble opinion)
