Rock Hotfox to travel to SXSW
Posted by Katherine Coplen @tremendouskat on Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 9:57 AM
In non-Super-Bowl-related-but-completely-awesome-news, we'd like to extend our congratulations to local art rockers Hotfox, who rallied their local support into voting them to the top of the JanSport-SonicBids Battle of the Bands. They've won the chance to perform at annual music, arts and tech festival South by Southwest in Austin, Tex.
Hotfox advanced to the final round in early January, competing against 49 other bands from around the nation. Their support helped them advance to a top ten round, where they were judged by a group of event sponsors.
They'll travel (all expenses paid!) to SXSW to perform in the JanSport SXSW Music Showcase in March. Cheers to local music on a national stage. Hotfox thanks A-Squared Productions, Musical Family Tree and many more for rallying behind their grassroots social media campaign.
You can listen to their latest work, You, Me, and the Monster. Keep your eye on NUVO for more SXSW coverage as we inch closer to the mega-festival's date!
