Brooklyn’s Paper Garden Records is very excited to announce its first ever official SXSW Showcase in Austin, TX to be held at the new and beautiful Swan Dive on Saturday, March 19th from 8pm-2am. Co-presented with our friends at Thinglink, Paper Garden’s showcase curates an audibly familiar tonality crafted with international artists. Featuring bands from Oslo, Copenhagen, Toronto, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, the showcase brings an international community of bands and fans alike under one roof for a first look at some of this year’s best up-and-coming acts.
Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson (Norway) will kick off the showcase with a dreamy post-rock sound that will ease you into indie-folk rockers, Little Tybee (Atlanta) who will be touring in support of their upcoming album “Humorous To Bees”. Alcoholic Faith Mission (Copenhagen) will be up next with an experimental indie-rock sound that has been highlighted by the likes of MTV and more as a “must-see at SXSW 2011″ and is flying over in support of their new album, “And The Running With Insanity EP”. After Alcoholic Faith Mission will be the electronic-based Golden Ages (Philadelphia) who will pave the way for the new-wave pop band, Freedom Or Death (Toronto). Army/Navy (Los Angeles) will headline the night with their feel-good indie-pop songs that will keep you dancing through the night.
This hand picked showcase will give SXSW patrons a chance to see these blossoming bands as they rise to the top of the canopy. Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 19th at Swan Dive. Register now, as your badge is your ticket to this and all other SXSW Music showcases.
In addition, ThingLink is bringing us an exciting new interactive SXSW experience. The free service acts as an interactive hot-spot for web images, posters, and e-flyers, allowing users to link directly to songs, band sites, purchase links, venues and more!

About our sponsor
Thinglink aims to change how billions of people interact with photos by transforming them into a surface for advertising, commerce, entertainment, search and social connection.
Thinglink technology lets businesses and consumers connect objects (the people, places and things within photos) to anywhere on the Internet. With photos constituting 20 per cent of web real estate, 500 billion photos online offer rich opportunities for in-image links to engaging user experiences that will revolutionize and transform how we interact with images.
Thinglink was founded in 2008 by Ulla-Maaria Engestrom, a Finnish technology entrepreneur and expert in social objects and long-tail markets. Thinglink is the second startup from the team that launched Jaiku, a micro-blogging site acquired Google. Thinglink has received early-stage funding from Europe-based Inventure and Lifeline Ventures.
As The Lovely Hearts Club’s first act, Freedom Or Death is proving to emerge as quickly as expected. With the likes of Wall Street Journal, AUX.TV, Explore Music and Toronto Star all championing the band, Freedom Or Death will make their second appearance ever in NYC on February 15 at Knitting Factory, playing with the Pitchfork-Forkcasted, Philadelphia-based Golden Ages.
Freedom Or Death released their EP a few months back, but continue to release new material on what seems like a weekly basis. Having already released remixes and covers of everyone from Nas to Pink, Freedom Or Death has an affinity with the studio. That won’t hold them back from touring, though, as they have shows lined up in Montreal and Toronto and will be performing at both CMW and SXSW in March!
Show Details
When: Tuesday, February 15th, doors at 8pm
Where: Brooklyn, NY @ Knitting Factory (361 Metropolitan Avenue)
Who: Freedom Or Death, Golden Ages & TBA

Every now and then when you turn the key for your mailbox, you find something extraordinary hidden amongst all those bills and coupons. For us, that gem came a few months ago in the form of a hand screened and hand numbered EP from Toronto group Freedom Or Death.
The duo met while working for a major label in Canada, both ultimately leaving their jobs to pursue careers as artists. Freedom Or Death took their first breath with an EP so honest and vital that it’s easy to proclaim the band as pinnacles in the new music industry. Fragments of the familiar contrast an eclectic assemblage of thoughtful lyrics, creating an atmospheric sound that is original and addictive.
In such a short existence, Freedom Or Death are already on the festival circuit, playing Pop Montreal this week and CMJ in mid October. Lovely Hearts Club has chosen to highlight the opening track to the EP, Lost in Dances, written to compliment the short film by Spike Jonze, ‘How They Get There’, featuring skateboarding legend, Mark Gonzalez.
