Playing Under the Radar's First SXSW 2013 Party, Wednesday, March 13 at Flamingo Cantina

Mar 06, 2013 Big Black Delta By Laura Studarus

On March 13 Under the Radar will host the first of three free day parties. Leading up to the event we’re letting you know about each artist playing. Today we’re spotlighting Big Black Delta. In a previous post we gave you the basic party details of the party: The party happens from 12:00-6:00 PM at the Flamingo Cantina at 6th and Red River (515 E. 6th Street, Austin, TX 78701). All events are free and open to the public—no RSVPs or badges are required. Come early for free beer courtesy of Sapporo. SHURE and MailChimp are also sponsoring the event.

Los Angeles’ Big Black Delta (a.k.a. Jon Bates) is a gentlemen and a scholar offstage and an animal in the spotlight. With a performance style somewhere between David Bowie and an uncaged tiger, two dueling drummers, and a pocket full of melodic—yet hard hitting—songs, it’s difficult to pin him down. Not that we’d dare try.

Check out a few Big Black Delta songs below. You can also read our Q&A with him here, or check out the mixtape he made for Under the Radar here. Big Black Delta plays at 12:45 PM on Wednesday, March 13.
