SXSW Spotlight: The Kissaway Trail

While this week might be Spring Break for college kids bound for Cabo, it’s arguably the holiest week for music lovers—that’s right, it’s South By Southwest. To help prep for your SXSW experience, FILTER is bringing you a taste of the Austin festival’s must-see musicians each day this week in the form of excerpts, interviews, and even a tattoo giveaway. So take some time out from mapping your road-trip, rest those cowboy boots and brush up on SXSW’s top-tier performers.

For day three of SXSW week, we’re letting you in on an unusual freebie. The Kissaway Trail, a five-piece band from Denmark known for its lush and layered sound, has sketched a tattoo of a reverb pedal (the group’s favorite toy) exclusively for FILTER. Look inside FILTER’s latest Good Music Guide, rip out the page with the designated sketch—or print out the one below—and see if you can track down The Kissaway Trail as they roam the streets of Austin. Once you find them, a drink (and tattoo) will be on the band!

Hint: The Kissaway Trail will be performing at FILTER’s Showdown at Cedar Street March 18.
