For an upcoming band, the commercial and numerical growth of SXSW isn't necessarily a beneficial one. The likelihood of catching someone's ear naturally diminishes when there's greater competition. So instead of enduring the rigmarole of a 24-hour flight from Auckland just to play Austin, Surf City is touching down in the U.S. to kick off a short tour, during which the band will hopefully scrounge together enough cash to fund an extended stay in New York City so they can record more music.

Through Being Coolnew
If even McDonald's is making fun of hipsters now, the pretentious shits who live to be in the know about the latest band, boutique or blog — and, more importantly, to make sure everybody else knows they're in the know — are officially just this side of irrelevant.

Better Off Led: Mockstars Are the New Rockstarsnew
Ironically, through performing the music of Led Zeppelin, almost-famous Paul Sinclair is closer than ever to grasping rock 'n' roll's elusive brass ring. He's gone from rockstar to mockstar and back again. And in this day and age at least, the difference is becoming more and more slight.

Introducing the Artist Formerly Known as Steph Hayesnew

As Hayes starts to play, the physical changes from seven months of hormone replacement therapy are noticeable. In more ways than one, Stephan Hayes is a new man.
