Hooton Tennis Club, Mercury Rev and White Lung are some of the names to have jumped out at us from the 215 acts newly confirmed for next year’s South By Southwest Festival.
The Austin music showcase runs across a week every March, and already has the likes of Crystal Castles, Yuck and Autobahn booked for next year.
As mentioned, armed with their 2015 debut album ‘Highest Point In Cliff Town‘ Hooton Tennis Club are sure to be a highlight round these parts after our review of the LP concluded:
“Wherever it is Hooton Tennis Club are coming from, be it the chip shop or the Prom, slouchy ambivalence is as much an ingredient of their chemistry as the gang mentality and close shouldered borrowing of urban folklore.”
“What in the world can they get done? Well, y’see boys, they wanna have fun. Boys just wanna have fun.”
