I’m
happy to bring my list of the hottest buzz acts of SXSW Music Festival back to DMW again for 2011 (this year it takes place March 15-20). I took a sampling mainly exposing the newer artists, rather than highlight the tried and true. Combing through the several hundreds of bands at this year’s SXSW was a real challenge. I say that just because the selection of official shows is incredible. No wonder being ‘official’ this year was a difficult task – Celebrating 25 years they picked the creme! With that said – here’s my "Sick 65"!
