SXSW FEATURED: ROCKFOUR



This is kind of a repost from April, but since all of our mp3's are screwed up prior to December, and it is relevant, I see no harm in reposting these songs. The plight of RockFour at South By Southwest is sort of a depressing one. Imagine being a 60's influenced psyche band from Israel, and traveling all the way to Austin, Texas to play a 45 minute set at SXSW, but when you arrive, the club (in this case, the Continental Club) you are playing is completely isolated from the rest the city. Couple that with the poor decision to sandwich the band in between 4 Country acts, specifically Pam Tillis & Ian Moore, and you have a rather depressing scenario on your hands.

Fortunately for RockFour, their music will be worth crossing the river for. After spending years on the American Guitar Pop label, Rainbow Quartz, RockFour are releasing their new record, "Memories of the Never-Happened," through Israeli Label Earsay Records, it should be interesting to hear. The songs posted below are from their 2004 release, "Nationwide."

RockFour will be fighting for attention Friday March 14th at the Continental Club (1315 S Congress Ave) at 10:00PM.
