46 Antipodean artists are locked in to perform at Austin’s prestigious South by Southwest Music festival And Conferences, joining over 2000 bands from more than 50 countries. Among those tapped are such luminaries as Angus and Julia Stone, Gossling and The Preatures. However, the Western Australian contingent is a bit on the thin side, with only The Chevelles and The Growl making the grade. Although more than 20 additional invited Australian performers have yet to confirm their acceptance and it’s entirely possible that more local acts will be on the final roster, the ratio does seem a bit off kilter to us. Still, top marks to The Chevelles, The Growl and all the other Aussie and New Zealand acts, who will no doubt leave the environs of Austin looking like a bad day at Lone Pine.
