Tijuana Panthers were one of our stand-out bands from SXSW, not that we weren’t big fans before, and their playful videos are a fine example why.
It’s always funny watching people dance. The track’s not too bad either.
With a cold front landing on Austin, nevermind a little more unwanted rain, the SXSW crowd were a little taken a-back on the final day, but that didn’t mean the line-up was any less impressive, just the outdoor stages were a little more empty.

And they use a theremin.. ’nuff said. Check them out here.
Here’s the new video to Two Door Cinema Club’s next single. I like the bit when Sam gets his guitar stolen.
