This week, we’re back in Austin, TX, broadcasting live from Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop during SXSW. You might recall stellar performances in years past from artists like Charles Bradley, The Joy Formidable, The Head and the Heart, and Of Monsters and Men. This year, we present 19 more bands, including both new discoveries and long-time favorites. You’ll hear Billy Bragg, Robin Hitchcock and The Zombies joined by Parquet Courts, Palma Violets and Wild Cub. Check out the fantastic lineup below, which includes Thurston Moore’s new project, Chelsea Light Moving, and a reunion of 80′s Austin guitar rock heroes True Believers.
Tune in to KEXP from 9:30AM Seattle time through 6PM, Wednesday through Friday, and then on Saturday, from 2PM to 6PM. We’ll be posting photos after each set, so keep checking back here on on the KEXP blog.
