Apr 05, 2008 – AUSTIN, Texas--Whether you missed the South by Southwest Music Festival (SXSW) this year in Austin, Texas, or just can’t get enough of the emerging talent that besieged the city from March 12 -16, Blastro Networks’ sites Roxwel (www.roxwel.com) and Blastro (www.blastro.com) have a whole host of exclusive interviews and live footage from the festival, the beginnings of which have just been released.
Toby Ryan gets upfront and Uncut with Moby, master of the dance-track circuit, on his new album Last Night, mobygratis.com and his penchant for a good time. The interview also splices in outtakes from his performance at the uber-exclusive Playboy party and definitely should not be missed:

101x In Studio (
http://www.roxwel.com/show/101xinstudio.html) features Ryan at the radio station’s SXSW home-base at Buffalo Billiards, downtown watering hole and musician hotspot. Austin-based Boombox and Kissinger and Nashville rockers American Bang get comfortable and talk about their new albums and videos, label exposure and, well, hangovers, an all too common topic of conversation among festival attendees and performers alike.
Sounds Under Radio, another local Austin band, performs an unusual acoustic set on Sixth Street and talks with Roxwel about the last six weeks of touring, their SXSW “anniversary,”
and Vampire Weekend, the much-hyped New York punk rock band that took the Austin club scene by storm (stay tuned for their Roxwel interview). Check out the Sounds Under Radio Artist Commentary here: http://www.roxwel.com/player/sxswsoundsunderradio.html.
Wrapping up part one of Blastro Networks’ SXSW content is a whole slew of interviews with Hot 93.3’s Deuce (http://www.blastro.com/show/hot933instudio.html), who brings you local flavor and some of the hottest Texas hip-hop and rap artists on the scene. Featured artists include: Fab 5 Freddy, Nacim, Aztek & Papa Chuck, PLA & DJ Knowledge, J Kapone, Chalie Boy, East 35 and ten others.
