Hickoids - "Fruit Fly": SXSW 2013 Showcasing Artist

It's 2013 and the Hickoids have been raising hell off and on for parts of four decades now. Reinvigorated and slimmed down to a touring act featuring original members Davy Jones (guitar) and Jeff Smith (vocals), Rice Moorehead holding down bass duties for several years now, and fresh blood Tom "Tony" Trusnovic and Lance "Slopoke" Farley both with the band for about a year now on guitar and drums repectively. Multi-instrumentalist Scott Lutz occasionally graces the stage for regional shows and records with the band.

Haley Bonar - "Silver Zephyrs": SXSW 2013 Showcasing Artist

My name is Haley Bonar (rhymes with Daily Honor), I am a 29 year old singer/songwriter who resides in the lovely village of Saint Paul, MN. Since I can remember, I have been writing songs and singing. I grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota and was blessed with creative parents and younger siblings who I could direct in our games, theatrics, and dances. In my senior year of high school I recorded and self released my first batch of songs on a self-titled album, my graduation gift from my parents.

Lord Buffalo - "Your Days Are Numbered": SXSW 2013 Showcasing Artist

Lord Buffalo is a five piece band from Austin, TX. Lord Buffalo sounds like boots on gravel at night, or trains howling or waking up with your jeans on. Lord Buffalo specializes in dark folk that often explodes into trembling yowls, canyon echos, great plains field noise, southern gothic admonitions and psychedelic gray matter.

Often compared to Nick Cave, Woven Hand or the creep who got your sister pregnant, Lord Buffalo is known for stomping, intense live shows and for always having river mud under their fingernails.

SXSW Music is excited to announce a late-breaking interview with Top Dawg Entertainment hip hop star Kendrick Lamar on Thursday March 14th. Hailing from Compton California, Kendrick Lamar has revitalized the West Coast rap scene and the hip-hop game. Making his start in 2003, K.Dot released a string of mixtapes and two acclaimed independent albums, 2010's Overly Dedicated and 2011's Section.80. The turning point of his career came when the MC inked with Aftermath's legendary Dr. Dre to release his 2012 album, good kid, m.A.A.d. city, which many have already labeled a classic. Kendrick will be joined in conversation with Rap Radar's Elliott Wilson to discuss his journey, success, work ethic and fame.
