SXSW 2017 2017-03-14

Hippo Campus Minneapolis MN

4.17 4.30 Four young fellas creating upbeat indie pop similar to Vampire Weekend. Bonus points for having 'hippo' in their name.

Quiet Company Austin TX

4.14 2.90 Dynamic indie rock that cleverly bounces between pop melodies and an edgier rock sound.

Yip Deceiver Athens GA

4.14 2.30 Fun and danceable electro pop with some occasional falsetto male vocals

Chrome Sparks Pittsburgh PA

4.00 1.51 Producer/Drummer/DJ who puts out some robotic groove jams.

Open Mike Eagle Los Angeles CA

4.00 3.85 Hip-hop with a variety of styles. Rap lyrics are clever and topical.

Roosevelt Colgne GERMANY

4.00 4.40 Danceable electronica indie pop with male vocals

Emily Wolfe Austin TX

4.00 2.70 Folksy singer/songwriter with a nice vocal range

The Family Crest San Francisco CA

4.00 3.40 Big and dramatic orchestral indie rock with powerful moments that rise and then fall to just the singer and his guitar.

Night Drive Austin TX

4.00 2.20 Very synthy and danceable electro pop, and likely a direct time machine to the '80's.

Betty Who New York NY

4.00 1.95 Synth-pop with somewhat airy female vocals from a girl from Australia. It ventures pretty far into the pop-zone at times which might be off-putting for some.
