SXSW’s Eighth Artist List

South by Southwest added 144 new acts this morning, among them R&B breakouts Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Houston hip-hop legend Bun B, and “Chill Bill” rapper Rob Stone. The mid-March megaconference commences less than one month from now.

Today’s edition of the weekly SXSW band announcement, bringing the tally to roughly 1,500 of what will soon be around 2,000 acts, also includes Stones Throw Records tastemaker Peanut Butter Wolf, 4 Non Blondes’ singer Linda Perry, budding Chicago rapper Kweku Collins, rootsy songwriting scion Lilly Hyatt, Nashville garage-punk faves Pujol, and bounce rapper Vockah Redu.

Other new notables stack up guitar phenom Kaki King, acoustic emos Dashboard Confessional, “Bartender Song” hitmakers Rehab, Aussie dance trio Cut Copy, experimental beatmaker Mndsgn, folk-pop singer Matt Costa, and Wstrn, the London pop/rap trio that hit it big with 2017’s “In2” before member Akelle Charles was jailed for assault.

Speaking of international acts, SXSW currently seeks volunteers for its International Artist Home Share Program, which exchanges wristbands for locals becoming an international crash pad during the festival. Beds are at a premium during the conference, and the long-running arrangement remains a genuinely communal way to make new friends from faraway lands.

Music programmers also added 24 Austin-area acts to the talent pool, including big names Ray Wylie Hubbard, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Ghostland Observatory, Bright Light Social Hour, and recent Austin transplant Abhi the Nomad.

Also on deck from ATX: Anastasia, Casey JaNissa, Chronophage, Country Cousins, Cuyo, David Garza, Eric Inglehart II, the Gary, J-Nice the Kingdom Builder, Joshua Bowie, KannKasso, Khali Haat, Omenihu, Shunetra Kicheon, Son Fjord B2B Daetron Vargas, Supraman, Tje Austin, Uncle Lucius, and Ustad Ghulam Farid Nizami.
