With the SXSW festival getting under way in Austin Texas, some fine French acts are carrying the standard.
Bureauexport has an event- France Rocks Austin 2012- at the festival, presenting some of France's finest to an influential crowd.
SXSW has increasingly become a key event in the US music market, particularly for foreign acts aiming to establish a reputation in America.
Featuring at the France Rocks Austin 2012 event are The Octopus Project, College, Housee de Racket, Anoraak, Yan Wagner, Rodrigues, Hindi Zahra, Doldrums, the Two and Gush.
Yelle are also at the event with a DJ set.
Other French acts like Yuksek are playing other events during the course of the event.
An interesting set of acts, some very well known in France and others less so, all getting a chance to get better known across the water.
BureauExport has made a dowloadable sampler available, featuring tracks by Hindi Zahra, Yuksek, Yelle and others, so that even if you can't get to the event, you can still check out some of France's finest new sounds.
