Bands like 'supergroup' Wild Flag, Montréal's Karkwa and summery-sounding Polock were among the SXSW highlights for The Alternate Side's Alisa Ali, who recaps her personal adventures at the festival. (...)
Karkwa is an indie band from Montréal. How did I not know about them? I love Canadian bands! Oh, and I found out that they won the 2010 Polaris Music Prize. I should be ashamed of myself for being so ignorant and I am. No longer since I just discovered them at SXSW. They put on an absolutely captivating show at the Canada Showcase which was held in a tent across from the convention center. They sing in French and even though I didn't understand a word of their lyrics, I was still enthralled. One song can go from quietly melodic to loud and heavy rock. There are complicated arrangements but well-organized sound.
