Day 4 of the six day SXSW 2018 music festival and we’re past the halfway point. Standouts were Elise Trouw, Gordi and Amy Shark. I also covered Amy Shark when she was in Seattle in early March. The Queensland, Australia singer-songwriter won 2 ARIA awards last year, and graced the cover of ELLE Australia‘s May ’18 issue as part of the publication’s rising stars cover editions. Fellow Australian, Gordi, released her second album with Jagjaguwar; American artist Trouw has her own label, Goober Records, where she released her debut in ’17.

Mitski

Little Big show hosted the wonderful Mitski at the Neptune in the spring of ’17. She’s totally cool. An incredible songwriter and lyricist, Mitski will tour America again this year, with Europe shows also arranged. Some of her dates will find her opening for Lorde, giving her some extra exposure to new fans. For the Seattle April ’17 date, she had Steady Holiday and Kadhja Bonet open.

Video: Cheat Codes’ “No Promises”

Song: “No Promises”
Artist: Cheat Codes featuring Demi Lovato
Why You Want to Watch: Directed by Hannah Lux Davis, who has roots in Bellevue, Washington (a local !!!!!), Cheat Codes’ “No Promises” video features Demi Lovato. I like the apocalyptic visuals and muted neons.
