By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 27 February 2012
British Music Abroad has announced the acts it will be supporting at South By Southwest this year, which include D/R/U/G/S, Fiction and Django Django.
A joint venture between the PRS For Music Foundation, UK Trade & Investment, Arts Council England and British Underground, British Music Abroad has been providing financial assistance to UK acts invited to play at SxSW since 2006.
Confirming this year’s supported acts, Laura Whitticase, who runs British Music Abroad at the PRS For Music Foundation, told CMU: “With the changing shape of the music industry, it’s important for artists to have access to alternative support networks which help them to develop as professionals on the international stage. We’re proud to be working with our British Music Abroad partners to provide this much needed resource and I look forward to seeing all of the acts we’ve funded showcase their talent at SxSW”.
The full list of artists supported this year are: Bear’s Den, D/R/U/G/S, Django Django, Dutch Uncles, Fiction, Future of the Left, Ghosting Season, Hatcham Social, Kindness, Kwes, Quantic & Alice Russell featuring The Combo Barbaro, Skindred, Slow Club, Spectrals, Spycatcher, The Defiled, Treetop Flyers and Vondelpark.
