SXSW Watchlist: Fergus and Geronimo
We all know what a great music scene Austin has, but SXSW gives us all a chance to support our Texas brethren, and we’re here to do our part by highlighting Denton’s Fergus and Geronimo. Primarily the work of Andrew Savage and Jason Kelly, the group expands to a raucous foursome for live purposes. You might find them in the same line as The Strange Boys, though I’ll definitely have to give it to this group for their vocal qualities over our Austin compatriots. If you want to get a head start on the band, you will be happy to know that they currently have three 7 inches up for grabs, all of which feature the band’s traditional American garage sound. After seeing them open for The Dutchess and the Duke earlier this year, I found that they are the sort of band you can get behind every single night. Fergus and Geronimo have several shows during SXSW, one being at the Woodsist showcase, so be sure to catch hold of them now, as they’ll be a hot ticket for the rest of the year.
