Each year, hundreds of artists descend on Austin, Texas for South By Southwest, transforming the city into a sprawling metropolis dedicated solely to music as bands leak out from every packed bar, street corner, and venue they can find. But with a proposed 2,000 performers gracing over 100 stages from all edges of the globe attending SXSW 2014, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the selection of offer. But don’t fret, rather than drown in the sea of choices, why not smoothly navigate the ocean of music on offer with our selection of handpicked artists? From 60s garage sounds from The Netherlands to Costa Rican shoegazers and a healthy chunk of the record-breaking contingent of Aussie acts flying the flag at the annual music industry conference – there’s something for every music taste.
