Young Man announces dates for SXSW

Young Man has received some internet love for his warm bedroom pop so far, with even Bradford Cox giving them a nod of approval.  Makes sense considering their tracks sound like they could have been recorded in a cozy attic or crawlspace, albeit with a window and some light.  Fresh off releasing Boy EP on Frenchkiss, Young Man intends to make the rounds at SXSW this year and has announced the date, time, and location of those shows (how nice!).  Not a minute wasted from the announcement, AOL Spinner included Young Man on its “Top 100 acts at SXSW 2011.”

Looks like everyone is telling you to go check them out.

Young Man SXSW dates:

Wednesday, March 16 – Official Frenchkiss SXSW Showcase At The Parish – Austin, TX
Thursday, March 17 – 1pm Set – Piano’s Party at Club 1808 – Austin, TX
Thursday, March 17 – 430pm Set – IGIF Presents Floating Fest At Lovejoy’s – Austin, TX

Friday, March 18 – 5pm Set – Sophistic Arts Party At Red Fez – Austin, TX
Saturday, March 19 – 545pm Set – Chess Club/Neon Gold SXSW Showcase At The Music Gym – Austin, TX
