About Under the Radar: Under the Radar is an internationally distributed indie music print magazine and website that’s independently published by husband-and-wife team Mark and Wendy Redfern. This December it will celebrate its 15th anniversary. Under the Radar has been hosting events at SXSW for a decade. Artists to perform at Under the Radar‘s SXSW events in previous years include Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes, Charli XCX, Future Islands, of Montreal, Camera Obscura, Atlas Sound, Reggie Watts, The Drums, DIIV, Richard Hawley, Chairlift, Django Django, Deerhoof, Mew, and many others.

About Sapporo: Sapporo, the original Japanese beer, is giving away ice-cold bottles of their Sapporo Premium beer. With a rich gold color and refined bitterness, Sapporo Premium delivers an amazingly crisp, perfectly balanced taste and a smooth finish.

About Gretsch Guitars: With roots in the past while maintaining an eye to the future-from the cavernous clubs of Liverpool to the mainstage headliner at Coachella, Gretsch has been the voice of inspiration, personal expression, and musical invention. It’s no accident that the sound of a Gretsch has been heard loud and proud on some of the most pivotal recordings ever created. The instrument of choice for musical revolutionaries due to their rich, full sound, smooth playability, and boldly classic visual style, Gretsch and rock ‘n’ roll have been-and always will be-inseparable partners.

About Polyvinyl Records: Polyvinyl, the long running Champaign-Urbana, Illinois based record label, is one of the sponsors of the Thursday day party. Matt Lunsford and Darcie Knight Lunsford founded the label, starting it as a fanzine called Polyvinyl Press in 1994 and transforming into a record label by 1996. Their artist Pillar Point are playing the Thursday event and other artists on the label include of Montreal, Alvvays, Deerhoof, The Dodos, Japandroids, Wampire, and Xiu Xiu.

About Kanine Records: Kanine Records was founded in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York in 2002 by Lio and Kay Kanine while hanging out at their favorite bar, Daddy’s Bar. The idea in the beginning was simple. They just wanted to share some of the amazing bands playing around them with the world. With that idea in mind, their first release was NY: The Next Wave, a compilation of unsigned acts from Brooklyn/NYC that had been playing their club nights for the last couple of years. The response was a billion times bigger than both Kay and Lio expected and quickly earned them some worldwide recognition. Renown and success followed quickly, as the label released the critically acclaimed debut albums by Grizzly Bear, Chairlift, and Surfer Blood. Aside from their uncanny ability to discover amazing unknown bands, what distinguishes Kay and Lio from their peers is a unique combination of integrity and passion for music.

Throughout the years the label has released more astonishing albums from great bands including; Braids, Eternal Summers, Young Prisms, The Blow, Royal Baths, Pepper Rabbit, Splashh, Beverly, Flowers, Bleeding Rainbow, The Depreciation Guild, and many more to come. Their artists Hockey Dad and Fear of Men are performing at the Wednesday day party, which they are sponsoring.

About Chromatic Publicity: With offices in Brooklyn, New York, and Austin, Texas, Chromatic was co-founded by Amanda Pitts and Hector A. Silva, who represent more than 30 artists, including Modest Mouse, The Thermals, Julien Baker, Mothers, Girls Names, Cursive, Wild Cub, and many others. Chromatic was founded with one driving objective: to work side by side with creative and talented artists in whom the partners believe. Chromatic offers a spectrum of services, including artist representation across all media, strategic consulting, and publicity content production. Collaborating with close professional contacts, Chromatic works with network and local television programs, national and regional magazines, newspapers, public radio, and online media to promote album campaigns, tours, and performances to create awareness and drive sales for established, as well as up-and-coming, musicians.
