The first batch of bands for SXSW, the large music industry trade show, conference and festival every year in Austin Texas, have been announced. Unlike my Coachella post earlier this week, the list comes straight form SXSW.com so we know it is right (but subject to change).
This year’s line up has a number of Arizona bands who will be officially showcasing. Dear and the Headlights (Tempe, who are also playing Coachella), Golden Boots (Tucson), The Love Me Nots (Phoenix), Miniature Tigers (Phoenix, who continue their sting of huge show announcements), and The Silos (Flagstaff) will all be there.
The Medic Droid are listed however they have since broken up. Hopefully more Arizona acts will take that their place.
Read on to see the full announced list.
