Girl Germs Episode 3 – SXSW Recap
Girl Germs went all the way to Texas, and all we brought you was this lousy podcast. Wait, just kidding, it’s good—we swear!
Dana again made the trek to Austin this March, leaving Anna behind to suffer in the snow and cold (sorry, girl) in order to partake in the 25th annual South by Southwest music festival. There were celebrity sightings and there was BBQ. There were circus freaks and there was novelty candy. But most importantly, there was music. Lots of music.
In this episode of Girl Germs, you’ll hear Dana interview a plethora of Girl Germs artists: locals Is/Is, New Jersey rockers Screaming Females (who visited GG and performed an in-studio session for us back in our Radio K days), GG faves Puro Instinct and Portland singer/songwriter Shelley Short (who is in town at the Triple Rock Sunday, April 10), plus a very special appearance by October’s Honorary Lady. We then play some up-and-coming artists Dana saw at this year’s SXSW who we predict are going to be pretty big deals in the next year. Two out of five of them are Canadian—what the what?!
