Just wanted to send a shout-out and congrats to our friends over at WOXY. They’re gearing up this week for the South by Southwest Music Festival in their new hometown of Austin, Texas. In addition to their first official showcase (which features bands like Bear in Heaven, Crystal Antlers and Cymbals Eat Guitars), they’ve also got a lot of other stuff going on like acts Live in the Lounge (including Sharon Jones, Frightened Rabbit, Surfer Blood, Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore and You, You’re Awesome to name a few), Music by the Slice (including These United States, Jukebox the Ghost, The Henry Clay People and Pomegranates to name a few), and Gonna Gonna Get Down V (including White Denim, Besnard Lakes, Royal Bangs and Warpaint to name a few).
On another note, I’d like to say congrats and good luck to all of the Cincinnati bands that are a part of this year’s SXSW Festival, like Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore, Bad Veins, The Seedy Seeds, Foxy Shazam, Pomegranates, Eat Sugar, You, You’re Awesome and The Harlequins.
