If you've been following my progress through SxSW's alphabet you'll know what I'm aiming for here. Rather than write about each band - which is how I started and quickly realised was time-sapping folly - I'm picking out the ones worth mentioning either because they have potential to give good show, sound great on recordings or have to be deftly avoided lest you suffer their awful, amateurish shtick. Behold then, G - the seventh letter of the alphabet and the artists that ride within her.
Gadarene (www.myspace.com/gadarenemusic)
Elegant folk-strewn and fiddle led instrumentals.
Gay Witch Abortion (www.myspace.com/gaywitchabortion)
LISTEN JUST FOR THE NAME. Noisy two piece intent on doing lo-fi Lightning Bolt with less skillz and more controversy.
Geeks (www.myspace.com/thexgeeks)
Probably isn't these guys but Korean hardcore punk is brilliant, even if it is generic.
Get Back Guinozzi! (www.myspace.com/getbackguinozzi)
Female fronted duo that get round cutsey by spewing velvet pop adorned with velcro - it attaches itself to your ears while listening through its odd soaring nature.
