A day after making the huge announcement that FBI Director James Comey would be speaking at the conference, SXSW Music Festival 2017 has announced another round of showcasing artists. This announcement focuses more on smaller, up-and-coming acts, with no attention-grabbing names. Pacific Northwest indie rock group Deep Sea Diver, UK electro-pop duo Let’s Eat Grandma and Pennsylvania tech-death outfit Rivers of Nihil and many others will join a lineup of acts that includes previously-announced performers like Kate Nash, Spoon, Modern English and Minus the Bear.
Deep Sea Diver is the project of Jessica Dobson, who spent time as a member of The Shins before branching out on her own. She released the band’s sophomore LP, Secrets, in 2016, and it is a solid batch of eclectic and engaging alternative rock. Meanwhile, childhood friends Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth of Let’s Eat Grandma took the underground pop world by storm with their debut I, Gemini, which was also released last year. Rivers of Nihil have been steadily chugging along and building a devoted fanbase with two full-length albums and a pair of EPs to their name.
SXSW 2017 will take place from March 10-19 and as always, will take place on the streets and neighborhoods around downtown Austin, TX. However, the music portion of the multimedia festival does not kick off until the 13th. The first few days of the conference will feature the Interactive Festival and the Film Festival.
