Channel 4 will be transmitting a 30 minute programme at 12.05 on Saturday April 16th, featuring the Island Records' event at this year's South By South West music conference in Austin, Texas.

Nine Black Alps, Bell X1, and Dogs are filmed performing live at the Island Records party at the Velvet Spade club. The event, which is compered by XFM's John Kennedy, includes live performances, backstage interviews with the artists, a bizarre appearance from Billy Idol and lots of Americans (say no more).

Hmmm...

Now all they need is a program which shows the 100's of DECENT bands that were at SXSW.

Oh yeah, it's still Tummy Touch. Tho he has signed to Island, technically... and for quite a lot of money.

I suppose Bell X1 and Dogs are regarded as underachievers on the Island roster so I can see why they're getting the exposure but I would have thought it'd make sense to have someone of a higher profile like Vek to entice people to bother watching in the first place.
