Scotland Rocks at South by Southwest

ArtWorks Scotland follows a clutch of Scottish acts including Unicorn Kid and Withered Hand to the 2011 South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas.

In March, 2,000 bands descended on Austin, Texas hoping to make a splash at the world's largest music festival - South by Southwest. Among those keen to launch their careers in the USA were a clutch of Scottish acts including Rachel Sermanni, Unicorn Kid, Withered Hand and Admiral Fallow.
