News SXSW (loves PDX)

So the full list of SXSW bands has been released. It’s a little dizzying to look at such a long list—it’s even worse in person with a half dozen Lone Stars in your belly—of performers, but this year’s festival looks pretty impressive.

Included in this endless parade of performing acts are a whole lot of Portland bands.

They are (in alphabetical order):
A Weather / Blitzen Trapper / The Blow / The Builders and The Butchers / Castanets / Eat Skull / Laura Gibson / The Helio Sequence / Kaddisfly / Lifesavas / Little Claw / New Bloods / Old Time Relijun / Panther / Red Fang / Sleep / To Live and Die in LA / Valet / White Rainbow / YACHT / Larry Yes

This is more than last year (I believe it was 17 last year), and there just might be more local bands added as the festival draws closer.

Comments

Don't forget Ohmega Watts! For some reason he is listed as being from New York.

Oh, and To Live and Die in LA have actually been living in LA for like a year. Oh well...
