SXSW’s Sixth Artist List

South by Southwest now slots in just six weeks away, their massive mosaic of music programming coming into focus incrementally. Today’s announcement adds another 102 artists, including grunge-pop favorites Bully and Baltimore indie duo Wye Oak.

This week’s talent dish brings the running Music conference total to roughly 1,281 of what will ultimately be around 2,000 showcasers. Kentucky’s White Reaper, whose white-hot power-pop is equally informed by garage punk and stadium rock, has punched their ticket to SXSW following a big splash at ACL Fest and extensive touring with Spoon. Their local guitarist, Hunter Thompson, takes on double duties since he’s also performing with Dryspell, an intriguing spin-off from Austin’s Tamarron, whose debut EP drops right before the festival.

Other notables on the sixth SXSW list are Milwaukee hip-hop iconoclast WebsterX, Strokes’ guitarist Albert Hammond Jr., piano-pounding boogie rockers Low Cut Connie, and emotive Dallas rapper T.Y.E., who gets in your head by compelling you into his.

The conference also continues to stack on homegrown talent, including superfast stoner rock trio American Sharks, rapper/songwriter Kydd Jones, honky-tonk rocker Jesse Dayton, freak blues specialists Churchwood, art-folk anthemists Calliope Musicals, and ambient Americana soothsayers Knife in the Water.

Other 512ers on deck: Beat Root Revival, Brainwavve, Buck Meek, the Bvtcher, Crocodile Tears, Death of a Dream, Devras Plexi, Fort Never, Inflatable Robot, Royal Forest, Sass, Small Houses, and Temple of Angels.
