This might actually be year 10 of SXSW for Kanines – we’re not really sure, bc/it’s all a blur. What we do know is the following. Jon Parales of the NY Times said “I was happy to get an infusion of roiling psychedelia from Royal Baths”. Spin best live photos includes OJ Xray Eyeballs & Zambri (thanks Ian!) and Gorilla vs Bear excellent polaroid series includes Zambri. Zambri also played the late, late nite, almost went ’til sunrise Stereogum party and Flavorpill/Heart Spade. Eternal Summers played on a roof and Young Prisms at NYU party, Cheer up Charlie’s and the Sound Garage. Xray Eyeballs even played on Sunday and everyone worked really hard as usual. Special thanks to Origami Vinyl, Etnies, Beauty Bar and Chairlift for our fun day party.
Of course Lio saw some new exciting acts we hope to be pimpin’ in the future as well as accidentally talking himself into the Snoop Dog Doritos party, making this the ultimate kanine sxsw!

“Shoegazey SF indie rockers Young Prisms‘ gauzy cut “Floating In Blue” gets a hazy, kaleidoscopically-colored video to match, something that looks like a very Young Prisms-specific iTunes visualizer or druggy screensaver. It’s a trip. Watch it below and grab the MP3 while you’re there.” Stereogum
Young Prisms played hometown’s Noise Pop – San Fran Weekly has the scoop and on tour now, dates below.
Digital single Four Hours (Away) now available at iTunes, eMusic, Amazon and streaming on Spotify!
This is the second single leaked from Young Prisms upcoming album “In Between” out Mar 27. It is a different sort of love song; it’s for those who are confused in love, or possibly hopelessly in love with the wrong person. We know you’re out there and feel for you. Read more about it at YoursTru.ly
You can grab the first single, dreamy Floating in Blue, over at Rcrdlbl.com. In Between just might be our most (unsuspectingly) romantic album yet.
