Hometown:
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada

SXSW Show Times:
Mar 20 8:00P - Treasure Island - Music Gorilla Showcase
Mar 20 11:00P - Mi Casa Cantina

What do like most about playing at SXSW?
It's a tie between the margarita machine at the Canadian house and seeing cool bands we would not normally get to see.

Are you out promoting anything?
We've got a new album called Territory and have recently ventured into the animated world with our new music video for a tune called Noisemaker. 

Are there any bands or musicians that you are looking forward to checking out?
I'm hoping we can catch The dBs. 

What are the challenges in playing at SXSW?
Due to the intense heat it becomes tempting to wear shorts while playing.  We learned early on however that shorts on stage are unacceptable. Having said that, if it's hot enough...

Do you have any survival tips?
Do not wear sunscreen.

Are you more "stick around, check out music and enjoy the scene" or "play as many shows as possible then get out"?
Definitely the former. When's that Magnetic Fields documentary showing? Wouldn't mind seeing that.

Any additional comments?
Come to our showcase. The drive from Prince Edward Island may near kill us but we still give it our all.

Mar 20 8:00P - The WAVE - SXSW OFFICIAL SHOWCASE

What do like most about playing at SXSW?
AUSTIN!  In our trips to SXSW we have become acquainted with the city and fell in love.  It's our home away from home.  Also - the energy around the festival is like nothing else.  I always tell people that if they come to SXSW, they had better plan to return every year.  It's a one of a kind experience.

Are you out promoting anything?
TRANSFER will be in support of their brand new full length album, FUTURE SELVES and will be releasing the first video installment for the song, 'GET SOME REST' - shot in Austin with a native cast and crew, produced and directed by Laura Wallgren.  

Are there any bands or musicians that you are looking forward to checking out?
Looking forward to checking out Bear Hands, The Black and White Years, Band of Horses, Band of Skulls...pretty much all bands that start with the letter B

What are the challenges in playing at SXSW?
Time management, parking and sobriety

Do you have any survival tips?
Drink water, rest when you can

Are you more "stick around, check out music and enjoy the scene" or "play as many shows as possible then get out"?
We always head to SXSW with ambition to cruise around and enjoy the scene...but wind up adopting the mentality of soldiers at war with the elements.  It seems like right when you think you are free to just hang out, another show presents itself and it's off to the races.  All part of the excitement but it normally takes us about 3-4 days to recover/de-tox from the whole thing.

Any additional comments?
TRANSFER is thrilled to take part in the SXSW festival this year.  Come check it out!!

Are there any bands or musicians that you are looking forward to checking out?
I don’t know what the hell is going on. I’m sure I’ll find out when I get there.

What are the challenges in playing at SXSW?
Getting in to the country.

Do you have any survival tips?
Take insulin, check blood sugar level regularly, stay away from large doormen.

Are you more "stick around, check out music and enjoy the scene" or "play as many shows as possible then get out"?
Do as much as possible and then get out!

Any additional comments?
