March was a busy month for KEXP as we were gearing up for and attending South By SouthWest Music Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas. And let’s face it, most of the bands we love here at KEXP were doing the same thing. In addition to SXSW, we also had to take care of our Spring Pledge Drive. Somehow, we managed to squeeze in some quality performances from brilliant artists.
In March we enjoyed the following talents: Brooklyn indie-rockers Bear Hands, Seattle chamber pop band Grand Hallway, Portland folk singer/songwriter Laura Veirs, Seattle’s Christopher Mansfield as Fences, Seattle alt-country/folk artist Rocky Votolato, folk/pop artist Devendra Banhart, Seattle Rock Orchestra performed a tribute to David Bowie (with some special guests including David Terry of Aqueduct), inter-continental DJ Matias Aguayo, Norwegian alt-rock group Serena-Maneesh, Brooklyn experimental duo High Places, Seattle indie-rockers silOHs, indie-folk collaborators Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore, and indie-punkers from New Jersey Titus Andronicus.
Our volunteer photographers do a great job each and every in-studio performance. These galleries exemplify their skill in capturing the energy and character of each band or artist that comes to play live on-the-air. Please click on [more] to see the entire gallery of each performance.

Hi there,
Do you have any photos from the Rat City Brass in-studio -- March 26? Would love to see how you fit that big ol’ band in your performance space. Thanks!
