SXSW 2013: Kodaline Share Their Top 5 ‘Can’t Miss’ Acts
We asked a number of bands performing at SXSW 2013 to give us their list of "can't miss" acts for this year's event. Irish band Kodaline offered up the five choices shown below.
Kodaline have earned praise from Perez Hilton, the Boston Globe, and the BBC. The four-man band consisting of Steve Garrigan, Mark Prendergast, Jason Boland, and Vinny May is releasing a debut U.S. single, 'All I Want,' available now on iTunes. In the meantime, the guys have four SXSW gigs lined up, two each on March 13 and 14.
Kodaline's list of "can't miss" acts for SXSW 2013 includes one of PopCrush's own Must-See SXSW Artists, plus a rock supergroup and three emerging acts. Check out their picks and their commentary.
