The Heatwave
The Heatwave are about to take Austin by storm this week. The London-based dancehall crew (and long-time authors of our Cockney & Yardie column) brings the best island sounds with them whenever they’re on the ones and twos—their Hot Wuk series is one of London’s “maddest” bashments for a reason. Check them out at the LargeUp showcase on Wednesday afternoon, then at their own official showcase at The 512 Bar later that night. If you’re Wednesday is all booked up, they’re playing a total of five parties around SXSW., so you’ll have ample opportunities to catch the UK’s number one bashment sound,—Natalie Weiner
