Anglophiles that we are, one of Panic Manual’s consistent faves over all our years of attending SXSW has been the British Music Embassy.
And today, we get our first details about this year’s lineup at the Embassy’s new home at Cedar Street Courtyard. With names such as Beabadoobie, The Murder Capital, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Bang Bang Romeo, Steam Down, Orielles, Arlo Parks, Knucks, Aaron Smith, and Self Esteem, it offers up a decent cross section of British music.
Of the names announced so far, one that stands out in particular is the previously unannounced Jehnny Beth, who’ll be showcasing songs off of her upcoming solo debut, To Love Is to Live, at the festival. The Savages singer always puts on an impressive live show, putting her all into each performance, and her appearance at SXSW promises to be no less intense.
Check out the video for “I’m The Man,” the first single off To Love Is to Live, below.
Jehnny Beth plays Cedar Street Courtyard at 11:00pm on Wednesday, March 18.
