SXSW and Gorillaz content on Babelgum's schedules
By Ben Cardew
A NEW INTERNET TV PLATFORM is marking its launch with exclusive live content from SXSW and concerts from acts including Franz Ferdinand.
The flash-driven Babelgum site is screening 22 live performances from the recent Texas festival, in addition to concerts from Kaiser Chiefs and Stereophonics as it celebrates moving out of an extensive beta testing phase.
Babelgum held a two-day music event at SXSW - in tandem with New York record store Other Music - featuring 22 acts including A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Efterklang and Pete And The Pirates.
All were filmed for Babelgum's music channel and highlights of each of the acts will be streamed from the site, with a single track from each act available for the Babelgum iPhone app.
The move follows news of the site's Gorillaz exclusive, in which it will be premiering Bananaz, a film documenting the people behind the cartoon band, on April 20.
