South By Southwest 2009

Wavves

On the right is the band Wavves. It's a one-man lo-fi garage punk band out of San Diego. Haven’t heard of them? Neither had I. But this past week they were just one of hundreds of groups that performed at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. It’s the premier festival for bands to get discovered as the next big thing.

Our producer Avishay Artsy was there and joins us with his recap.
