More Chicago Acts on the 2012 SXSW Music Festival List
Checking in again on SXSW's showcase acts, it seems Chicago is making more headway with the latest announcements.
In addition to previously announced Musikanto and the mis-placed Mahogany, Chicago-based Gold Motel, Chrissy Murderbot and U.S. Girls will be performing at the 2012 SXSW Music Festival.
Here's a rundown of other performers from the region so far:
BoDeans (Now listed as being in Milwaukee instead of Waukesha, as they were last year)
Cheap Girls (Lansing, MI)
Circuit des Yeux (Lafayette, IN)
Diplomats of Solid Sound (Iowa City, IA)
Tammar (Bloomington, IN)
Wet Hair (Iowa City, IA)
Again, it's very early in the announcement process -- only three rounds so far -- so it's nice to see that at least a few Chicago and regional bands are in the mix already. Stay tuned in early 2012 for what's sure to be a longer list.
