  3. SXSW 2013: The music stories to watch

    On the final night of the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, last year, a young folk-rock trio from Denver took the makeshift stage at a church a few blocks away from the main action down on 6th Street. The church was about half full, providing enough room for the band members to run the aisles, stand on benches and play music from a debut album they had yet to release.

    Alanna Simone and Carolyn Radlo are two talented and creative artists based in Pasadena who collaborate on producing socially and politically provocative video art. They also happen to be mother and daughter, a fact they are reticent to admit when first meeting them. “I always refer to my mother as Carolyn when I talk about the work,” smiles Simone. “Being mother and daughter usually comes up much later in the conversation.”
