Warner Music is hosting a three-day live music residency March 12-14 at South By Southwest (location is The Belmont Austin). It's the "The Warner Sound Captured by Nikon" showcase. Surfer Blood, Blondfire and The Wild Feathers are all on the bill and will also be playing a handful of other shows and events throughout the week. See below for more info and full schedules.

Surfer Blood
West Palm Beach rock band Surfer Blood are gearing up for the June 11th release of its Warner Bros. Records debut, Pythons. Pythons is the follow-up to Surfer Blood's critically-acclaimed debut album Astro Coast, which earned spots on "best of" lists from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Filter, Paste, NME and the BBC. NPR's Bob Boilen called Astro Coast his "favorite album of 2010" and declared Surfer Blood to be "America's best new pop band."
