Austin is all about live music, so we picked Autograf because they can make you dance using real instruments. Get ready for keytars, lasers, and their hits like “Sleepless in NYC”, “Dreams” and “You Might Be” which have a combined 10 million plays on Spotify. With pulsing Avicii-style synths, Autograf has done remixes for Lorde and Pharrell, and now they’re coming to light up TechCrunch’s party.
Mobley‘s soulful singing and crisp drumming give him an enveloping sound for just a one-man band. Part Frank Ocean, part Chet Faker, Mobley experiments with a range of genres to convey confidence and vulnerability. You’ll be humming him in your head the rest of the week.
MIEARS brings ghostly, hushed songwriting into the modern age with soaring voice, shimmering keyboards, and slick production. Dig Chvrches or Purity Ring? You’ll feel right at home with MIEARS, especially if you’re looking to vibe out more than rock out.
Glassio nails the sun-drenched, laid-back, never-too-serious attitude of Austin with their stylish, tropical house music. We expect the dance floor to bristle with electricity as their bassy anthems fill The Sidewinder. Put down the tacos for a second and prepare to move your feet.
