Last year, Norwegian art-rockers 120 Days made a huge splash at SXSW. This year, the label that put them on the map is returning to SXSW for an entire night of ground breaking music.
Smalltown Supersound was started by Joakim Haugland in Oslo, Norway in the mid-90’s and is known as a visionary label that is not afraid to take a chance on new sounds. From jazz to rock to electronic beats, the label covers a wide spectrum of sounds. We are happy to announce that this year SXSW will present an entire night, curated by Haugland and featuring artists from his home country and beyond.
Kim Hiorthøy, Lindstrom, Tussle, Bjorn Torske, Arp and KXP will all share the stage for a night of way out beats and futuristic sounds.
