The majority of their selections impressed, especially “Chlorine” and “Peaches,” but their aforementioned nine-minute anthem is what really roped in a proper swath of devotees, eliciting fists and screams and dozens of bouncing Chucks. Everyone’s an overachiever at SXSW - you have to be, you just have to be - but getting that sort of response at such an early hour and after two sloppy nights of drinking and what have you … well, it’s a pretty good sign, nonetheless. Together, the Pennsylvania rockers hit the Hype Hotel early on Thursday afternoon to assemble a swift half-hour of their alternative crunchy rock. Let’s talk about “Young Blood” for a second: It’s the penultimate track on The Districts’ debut album, A Flourish and a Spoil, and their most talked-about cut from what’s typically a humid, aggressive, and heartful set. The Districts - CoSigns IV at Hype Hotel - 1:00 p.m. Whatever genre aspects she dipped into, it was all a beautiful way to start a beautiful day. While that song, which she partially sang to a Godzilla toy, showcased what some are calling the Disney Princess quality of her voice, she displayed a soulful, folkier tonality on songs like “My Baby Don’t Understand Me”. He fit in as smooth as Prass’ vocals, smiling at his new bandmates as he played along. She introduced her band like a sultry lounge singer during “It Is You”, noting that they had just met her new guitarist two days prior. Without a horn section, the set was lacking the fullness of an album laid down in Richmond’s Spacebomb Records, but the three-piece band on hand provided just enough gentle support for Prass to deliver renditions of the tracks from her self-titled debut with even more delicacy. Her set of delightful soul sounds was a sweet way to kick off the third day of SXSW as the Austin heat crept in through the clouds. Natalie Prass began her career as the keyboardist for Jenny Lewis, so it makes sense that she started her show sitting at the keys. Natalie Prass - CoSigns IV at Hype Hotel - 12:00 p.m.
