Artist applications for the 2017 South by Southwest Music Festival are still open through October 24, but the festival went ahead and dropped the first list of artists playing the festival. It goes heavy on the locals. Synth duo Survive, who are suddenly low-level famous for their standout work on the “Stranger Things” soundtrack, jump out as the buzziest name. Also representing Austin at the festival is our Austin360 Artist of the Month for September, Tameca Jones, alongside hard grinding afrobeat project Hard Proof, singer-songwriter Adam Torres and EMG and Psiplay, KUTX DJ Elizabeth McQueen’s electronic music project.
