SXSW Picks 2 Click: Austin acts cutting through the din

Seven Samurai

Let's take stock, shall we? In the last three years, as part of the Chronicle's annual SXSW Picks 2 Clicks roundup – local acts we feel deserving of national exposure – our Music team has profiled Shakey Graves, OBN IIIs, Dana Falconberry, and East Cameron Folkcore, to name just four. Too bad nothing ever became of those acts. Check back in a year to calculate our 2015 batting average.
