Lewis Del Mar is an experimental acoustic pop duo from Queens, New York. Lead vocalist Danny Miller (right) and drummer/producer Max Harwood (left) released their debut album Lewis Del Mar this past October. At SXSW, they were joined by a keyboardist, guitarist and bassist to round out their incredibly powerful live set. Miller’s eccentric stage presence makes their show a must-see. After a Live on King Street appearance in Madison last summer, the band is returning to Madison for a show on May 2 at High Noon. –Morgan Winston

Cosigns from major artists are an invaluable way to garner attention from massive audiences. Maggie Rogers is one of the latest to receive the praise of a star in the music industry—when Pharrell stumbled across her last year, her videos went viral. This led her to release an EP of folk-inspired synth-pop with a tinge of tropical bliss. The way she melds such abstract sounds into an immersive scene so seamlessly is a testament to her vision as a musician. –Logan Rude

The Japanese House at the Radio Day Stage.
21 year-old brit Amber Bain graced the Austin Convention Center stage timidly, holding her guitar upside down to fit her left-handedness. Her presence creates a sense of uncertainty as to what will come and what sounds will soon fill the room. What follows is unexpected and melodically surreal: an otherworldly, synthetically trippy, beautiful sound that creates the sense of floating in a calming pool of water. Some songs keep your feet tapping, others have you swaying from side to side in a reflective state. Altogether, it is a strangely pleasant experience that ties in sounds of the past and future to surface a fascinating collective whole. –Ben Golden
Hoops at Cheer Up Charlie's during SXSW 2017.
Hoops is a four-piece from Bloomington, Indiana with Drew (vocals, guitar), Kevin (vocals, bass), Keagan (vocals, keys, guitar) and James (drums). I met up with the band after their performance at FADER on March 15 for some portraits and was able to go to their set at Cheer Up Charlie’s on March 17. Their debut album, Routines, is set to be released on May 5, and the band will be going on their first headlining U.S. tour this summer. –Morgan Winston
Minnesota-based group Hippo Campus made their second SXSW appearance this year, fresh off the release of their debut album, Landmark, on Feb. 24. Jake (vocals/guitar), Nathan (vocals/guitar), Whistler (drums/vocals) and Zach (bass) met at the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists and began playing together as a band in 2013. I was able to attend a performance at The Blackheart on March 16 and at the Radio Day Stage in the convention center on March 17. These shows cemented my opinion that this is a group that has absolutely perfected their live show. After a full U.S. tour, the band will be returning to Madison on April 8 at the Majestic Theatre. –Morgan Winston

GGOOLLDD performing at Mohawk during the first day of SXSW Music Festival.
False Advertising is a three-piece alternative rock band from Manchester, England. The band, comprised of Jen (vocals, guitar, drums), Chris (vocals, guitar, drums) and Josh (bass), pride themselves on being a DIY band and have gotten a lot of attention from BBC6 Music. I was able to meet up with the band Stateside for portraits before their set at BD Riley’s. During their performance, their high-paced songs commanded attention from those passing by on 6th St. Halfway through the set, Jen and Chris swapped positions to attain a different sound and energy. It is safe to say that these three extremely talented musicians have a lot ahead of them. –Morgan Winston
Zach Sutton of Hippo Campus performs at The Blackheart.
Also representing Wisconsin is GGOOLLDD, a synth-pop band based out of Milwaukee. Never before in my life have I had so much raw, uninhibited, energetic fun from simply watching a band perform. Their high energy shows mixed with extremely danceable instrumentals layered under passionate vocals make them a force to be reckoned with. Synths play a leading role in the band’s sound which is so infectious, you won’t be able to stop dancing along. –Logan Rude
