Shout Out Louds @ SXSW: Howl Howl

Following a slew of impressive acts at The Mohawk, Shout Out Louds performed a thrilling set on Day 1 of SXSW 2008. Headlining the outdoor stage of The Austinst party, Stockholm's finest ran through a smattering of tunes from their latest LP, Our Ill Wills. It was a no-fuss half-hour attack which was not only endearing but also gleeful. My only bone to pick would be the blaring omission of 'The Comeback'! Photo courtesy of Miss Katie Kramer.

Shout Out Louds & Johnossi @ Bowery: After The Jump Jump

Last Thursday, After The Jump dj'd the sold-out Shout Out Louds concert at Bowery Ballroom. Despite some technical difficulties, it was awesome being up in that balcony djing a show we were all so excited to see. It was a bit surreal and daunting actually.


It was a Stockholm-centric night and I got the syndrome. Second band of the night, Johnossi, was a welcome surprise before Shout Out Louds. Totally fresh and rocking and not too bad on the eyes either. Bands from Sweden sometimes remind me of a cool breeze on a humid day. They remind you that it all isn't tepid.


Speaking of a fresh breeze. The Shout Out Louds, oh aren't they lovely? 'The Comeback' is such a brilliant song that if you bought a ticket to the show just to see that, you probably wouldn't be disappointed. The band is taking a tour around the South and hitting LA before jumping back over to Scandinavia. Make sure and check them out before they leave the country and the American visa Nazis don't let em back in.

After The Jump Contest Announcement!

ATJ has teamed up with the killer people over at Tankfarm to help sponsor the Shout Out Louds at Bowery Ballroom tomorrow night. To help celebrate, we have a slew of prizes to give-away.

The 1st person to e-mail me will receive 2 tickets to tomorrow night's sold out show, a Tankfarm tour t-shirt and a copy of the Future Sounds CD featuring Calvin Harris, Johnossi and of course, Shout Out Louds.

Two runners up will receive a copy of Future Sounds.

A few of your favourite After the Jumpers will be djing the Bowery Ballroom show, so make sure to stop by the basement and say hello where Pat Pop Tarts, Jeff K and D, Chris Battering Room and Cameron and Abbey will be spinning all night long.

After the show, head over to Lolita Bar on Broome where ATJ will also be presenting the official after-party. The Riot City djs will be keeping the party pumping, don't miss it.

This is, of course, a teaser for fans until the September 11 release of their second full-length, Our Ill Wills, also on Merge. The svelte quintet plans to preview the new material live, and will kick things off in New York.

"Our new albums sounds [like] a rolling wave across the ocean, from the Baltic Seathrough the Caribbean Sea and out on the Pacific Ocean—it's like a map of music," says singer Adam Olenius of Our Ill Wills. "But without [Swedish Island] Åland because it's a strange island and I don't know how it sounds over there."

As for the EP, it will include a cover of the Pogues' "Streams of Whiskey" featuring the Essex Green, along with remixes of the titular single by Kleerup and Russian Futurists. For fans who don't live in California and New York, don't despair—a full US tour is in the works, tentatively scheduled for October/November.*
