We were excited to see ROXY ROCA mentioned in a SXSW 2013 wrap-up post on Dutch music blog KindaMuzik. None of us speak the language, so we don’t know what they said, but any time we see ROXY ROCA mentioned in the same paragraph as Charles Bradley and Charles Walker, we figure it’s got to be good.

We have been getting tons of messages asking when the tracks we recorded during SXSW at Big Orange Studio with Converse Rubber Tracks are going to be released. For now I’m afraid we’re going to have to ask you to please be patient! With any luck we’ll have an announcement on that in the coming months. Until then, here’s a little taste. Our good friend, trumpeter extraordinaire, and partner in crime D. Tiger Anaya just happened to have his video camera handy when Taye was goofing around during playback on a track we just laid down (“Can You Handle It?”). You can see engineer Aaron Bastinelli hard at work in the background. Enjoy!
Thanks to The Horn for this awesome SXSW Artist Spotlight featuring ROXY ROCA, including some great interview questions with Taye Cannon and Errol Siegel.
Those who say real soul music is dead clearly haven’t heard Roxy Roca. The Austin band has been tearing up the town with their voluptuous funk-infused soul music, and this year they will be hitting SXSW in hopes of spreading the musical gospel. Recently Neil Ferguson spoke with Roxy Roca’s charismatic lead vocalist Taye Cannon and guitarist Errol Siegel about the joys of being in an Austin soul band.

We had a blast serving as local ambassadors of funk by hosting the Knuckle Rumbler SXSW day party at Valhalla, aka Trunk Funk Vol 2 Hosted by ROXY ROCA. It was an all-day funk/soul party featuring sets from ROXY ROCA along with some truly outstanding bands from around the world, including Tyler Stenson (Portland, OR), Mike Love Duo (Honolulu, HI), The Pinstripes (Cincy, OH), Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics (Atlanta, GA), Rosco Bandana (Gulfport, MS), Monophonics (San Fran, CA), and Imam Baildi (Athens, Greece). Man, what a day!
Our good friend Edison Carter from Bitter Kitten Media sent us these cool photos from the party. Check out the bonus photo of Taye and Ruby Velle!
