Check out this new video of our very own Dad Rocks! performing “Downaging” for KEXP radio, live from the Ace Hotel in NYC.

The video – shot during CMJ Music Marathon – is in classic Dad Rocks style, touching, perplexing and brimming with folk-mastery.

If you were lucky enough to see their awesome performances at SXSW you’ll know exactly what we mean!

Downaging can be found with a bunch of other Dad Rocks! tracks on their latest album – Mount Modern.

You can purchase Mount Modern here: http://papergardenrecords.com/shop/dad-rocks/

SXSW 2011 was phenomenal for Paper Garden & The Lovely Hearts Club. This year, we are going even bigger and better – setting up a Paper Garden fort for 4 full days. Showcasing 30+ bands over the first 3 days (3/14, 3/15, 3/16) and a featuring unique solar-panel sound installation called Sun Boxes & more surprises TBA on our recovery/hangover day (3/18), we have established a solid week of events featuring extraordinary talent from across the world. On top of the diverse and exciting group of bands that Paper Garden is bringing in directly, we are also partnering with three of our favorite music blogs for each day (Pigeons & Planes, My Old Kentucky Blog, The Wild Honey Pie) to co-curate some of today’s most buzz-worthy acts across all genres.

In addition to the musical talent, we have partnered up with some amazing sponsors this year. Moniker Guitars will be present again this year, giving away some custom guitar-related goodies, Thinglink will be demonstrating the launch of their new Facebook Tabs (check out an example HERE), Threads For Thought will be doing a raffle/giveaway of their sustainable and environmentally friendly clothing, Ralph & Charlies is hooking us up with some delicious AND healthy juices and to hydrate everyone even further in the heat of Austin, Vitamin Water will be supplying product throughout the week.
