NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Interscope Records) - About the time you were picking out a Halloween costume some punk booked the last downtown Austin hotel room for SxSW '07. This same person has already filed their taxes. If like us you lack unhuman prescience and will be crashing in a Hare Krishna's tent out by the airport, make sure this year's trip to TX is worth it by not missing any of the bands below. (Even if you have the Yellow Rose penthouse suite at the Driskill catch these shows with the kids, and please offer us a couch). Put a star next to everything:

THE PIPETTES
Go Polkadot! Go Motown, Stax and Philly Soul! Go The Pipettes! Exuberant harmonies from singers with really cool names like RiotBecki, Rosay, and Gwenno come from the latest U.K. indie pop chart sensation The Pipettes. The trio's debut album, We Are The Pipettes, comes out June on Cherrytree/Interscope. In the meantime look for their take on Valley of the Dolls and catch them at SXSW, where they will most definitely be looking out for you. They heard that you bite. https://www.thepipettes.co.uk (Photo: https://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070306/AQTU101)

MICKEY AVALON
Who's got "a slick, languid flow and uproarious rhymes about pansexual, drug-addled adventures as a Hollywood slime bucket" Why, it's Mickey Avalon as Blender nailed him. Avalon's self-titled debut has been getting tons of attention thanks to the request line-jamming new single, "Jane Fonda." The Los Angeles glam rapper recently shot a video for the track which somehow pays homage to Soul Train and sleaze in one fell swoop. Avalon will spend the next few months on the road throughout the US and Australia, with stops at SXSW and The Bamboozle. https://www.mickeyavalon.com.
