The Barbarettes are coming to Texas, Glen Check heading to Singapore

[jeliza]

Five Korean indie bands will fly to Austin, Texas, in March to take to the stages of the South by SouthWest Music Festival, according to the state-run Korea Creative Content Agency.

The Barberettes, [su:m], EE, Asian Chairshot and Eastern Sidekick were handpicked by SXSW director James Minor during the Seoul International Music Fair, or MU:CON, hosted by the KOCCA from Oct. 6-8 in Itaewon, Seoul.


(Barbarettes at MU:CON)

At the annual MU:CON, which brought in international music scouts from around the world, six more local acts won the chance to showcase their music at three other major music festivals ― France’s MIDEM, Singapore’s Music Matters and Canadian Music Week. They include IDIOTAPE and Glen Check, both invited to the Singaporean fair; Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio and Loro’s, both invited to the French festival.

Three renowned music producers, who participated in the Seoul event, also chose one team apiece to work with.

Rodaidh McDonald, a producer at the U.K.-based independent music label XL Recordings, chose local crossover band Jambinai and will produce the band’s digital single, the KOCCA said. Similarly, Tony Maserati who has worked with Beyonce and Usher will pair up with Sultan of the Disco, while Jimmy Douglass, famous for working with Snoop Dogg and Justin Timberlake, will work with the Solutions.

Awww, I love them! (My sisters (who are twins) and I sing in a similar style so I've been fans for awhile. Sadly they're not coming close enough for me to attend, but I hope that they're successful at SXSW!

Aw, I skimmed the article too quickly and thought all of the artists were going to hit up all the festivals. Got my hopes up for a second there.
I did some snooping, because this article skipped over who's coming to Canadian Music Week, and if my basic hangul skills are right, then I'm seeing in this article (http://m.news.naver.com/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=106&oid=001&aid=0007186562): "Illionaire" & "Verbal Jint" beside CMW. Ahhh! I hope it's true. (please bring Beenzino with you, dok2.)

I'm so excited they are getting the attention they deserve. SXSW is a great opportunity for them to showcase their talents. If they're ever on the east coast, I will definitely try to catch their show.

So that means Glen Check coming over to SG next year May 2015? Damn it's so far away that I'd probably forget.
