This is PART TWO of SXSW 2014 Preview for the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, starting next week.
I believe this may be the last of the SXSW previews... there may be a last-minute third article, if I get enough announcements sent to me. Otherwise late entries will always be posted on news.weheartmusic.com.
ASTRALWERKS
astralwerks.com
Of all the showcases I've seen this week, the big winner for me was: Astralwerks official label showcase at SXSW 2014 on March 12 at the Parish (214 E 6th St, Austin).
I can't speak for the other bands, but I've seen the Kooks at the Metro in Chicago in 2007, and, in my opinion, probably the biggest star on the lineup so far. Again, this is early, so more artists may be added or taken out closer to March 12th.
You can find more details about Astralwerks at SXSW on astralwerks.com/sxswparty.
Finalized set times & full artist will be announced soon. So far, these artists are confirmed:
