Sounds From Spain announces SXSW 2010 line-up; Los Planetas, Amaral, Huecco, Tom Cary, The Unfinished Sympathy & Nudozurdo to perform at this year's SXSW Music Festival March 17-18 in Austin, Texas.

SXSW's Sounds From Spain showcases, will take place Wednesday, March 17th at 7:30 p.m., at Encore Patio, 611 Red River St., and Thursday, March 18th at 4:30 p.m., at Brush Square Park East Tent.

Both showcases will feature all six artists, and the March 18 event will have all the atmosphere of an outdoor festival, with authentic cuisine and drink - paella, gazpacho, sangria, Spanish beer and wine.

Headlining is Amaral, the transcendent pop-rock duo comprising Eva Amaral and Juan Aguirre. Known for such Latin pop hits as "Sin Ti No Soy Nada" and "El Universo Sobre Mi," this group recently released an acclaimed live album, La Barrera del Sonido, on EMI Music.

Deftly mastering what he calls "impossible fusions" of musical styles, Warner Music Latina artist Huecco brings a fascinating mix of flamenco, hip-hop and other sounds to his very personal songs.
The five-man group Los Planetas mixes psychedelia and high concept into their organic rock sound. A legend in Spanish alternative music, they're promoting their new studio album Una Opera Egipcia.

Founded in 2001, Nudozurdo is an indie foursome whose atmospheric rock and hypnotic sound invite us to get lost in the music.

Based in the multilingual city of Barcelona, The Unfinished Sympathy performs sharp, hook-filled guitar rock in English. Their new album is titled Avida Dollars, an anagram of Salvador Dali's name which his critics used as a pejorative, as they accused him of "selling out" for fortune in the Americas.

Tom Cary is not a person but a young foursome from Malaga. Also performing in English, this band mixes blues, punk and emo for a show that's never boring.


All of these artists will be available for interviews before and during SXSW 2010.

Don't miss this rare chance to see six of Spain's most sought-after alternative artists - together in two super showcases!
