SXSW Accelerates Into Weekly Artist Lists

With South by Southwest Music week just 54 days away, the festival now shifts to weekly talent announcements. Today’s batch adds 111 emerging acts to the stack, including Seattle grunge-psych trio Naked Giants, Scottland pop twosome Saint Phnx, and Austin’s primal garage-punk blues duo Ghost Wolves.

Also checking in for the annual gathering of up-and-coming artists: irresistible electro-pop from Christchurch’s Yumi Zouma, modern harpist Lara Somogyi, Richmond indie outfit Camp Howard, melancholic singer-songwriter-punk Justus Proffit, and promising Aussie outfit Lazy Eyes.

Meanwhile, SXSW continues bolstering its homegrown roster with Van Mary, Billy King & the Bad Bad Bad, Monte Warden & the Dangerous Few, Curtis McMurtry, and Lolita Lynne. Also hailing from the 512: Arya, Austin Basham, Beat Root Revival, the Blowies, Bourbonnais, Chief Cleopatra, Christine Renner, the Cuckoos, Deanna Wheeler, Jay Wile, Lil Ke, Lug, Nemegata, Rattletree, Robot Jones, Sheridan Reed, and She Sir.
