South by Southwest (SXSW), that massive music industry gathering that sees thousands of artists, industry folks and onlookers descend upon Austin, Texas, is over. Followers of this blog know that your humble narrator was along for the ride with Yibin, Sichuan native Baishui, to help bring his unique brand of prog-, goth-, experimental- and folk- (neo- and traditional) tinged rock to the Texan masses. A showcase, some parties and a fair bit of BBQ was taken in, and now, Baishui – the individual and the band he leads under his name – heads further afield. DC-, NYC- and San Francisco-based folks should take note…
Baishui creates a unique combination of traditional Sichuanese folk, experimental and cinematic soundscapes and post-rock. Fresh off a stint blowing minds at SXSW and across Austin, TX, Baishui rolls into Washington DC, New York City and San Francisco for gigs over the coming two weeks.
