Chris Lowe, bass player for Austin band Dexter Freebish, said he would classify the band’s music as a modern compilation. “I would call it prock, which is pop-rrxk. ’ he said. The band has been together for three years and Lowe said the music festival should help the lesser-known bands in the long run. “It’s a good opportunity to come out and support some bands that aren’t huge yet, but will be soon,” he said. Drill Team, however, will be coming into the festival with its new album released only two days ago. "U's about the Michael Longsaid Drill Team rec South by Southwes “We had a great about 300 to 400 p Both bands c Fitzwilly’s starting' p.m. and Drill Tear pain of love’! .
