SXSW 2015: K-Pop Night Out Official Showcase Reservations Are Now Open

On March 19, Epik High and Crayon Pop will headline the official South by Southwest (SXSW) showcase K-Pop Night Out at Elysium in Austin, Texas.

The event is presented by KOCCA, the Korea Creative Content Agency. K-Pop Night Out is in its third year. The showcase brings Korean pop and rock to the forefront of SXSW programming.

Included in the lineup for K-Pop Night Out is Hitchhiker, the moniker for K-pop producer Choi Jin Woo. Hitchhiker’s production credits include EXO’s “My Lady” and the Girls’ Generation hit “Hoot.” He received attention in 2014 for his eye-catching video “11” which was accompanied by a club banger dubstep track.

Husband-wife duo EE, who have extensively worked within the creative process of K-Pop music videos, will deliver their unique style of performance art at the showcase.

The Barberettes, a 1960s inspired girl group trio, will bring pinup style to the Korean pop show.

Korean rock acts Eastern Sidekick and Asian Chairshot will kick off the thrilling night of music.
