Aussies Head to SXSW
February 10, 2008 by lkatulka
A strong Aussie contingent will play this year’s South by Southwest Conference in Austin, Texas in March.
We’ll send big names like Paul Kelly, Old Man River, The Vines, and Ash Grunwald along with some hot up-comers including Kate Bradley and The Goodbye Horses, The Chevelles, Justice Yeldham, Naked on the Vague, and Xno Barbequex.
They’ll play as part of the diverse line up which includes Billy Bragg, Hanson, Dolly Parton, and Daryl Hall of Hall and Oates fame.
South by Southwest is one of America’s largest music festivals, with 1, 400 performers played all around Austin every spring. It’s an industry-based event, so it’s a great chance for our local artists to make international connections.
