International Talent Including London’s Gold Panda, Paris’ The Bewitched Hands and San Francisco’s Weekend to Perform at Annual IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash
San Francisco, CA – February 8, 2011 – IODA, the global leader in digital distribution, marketing, and technology solutions for the independent music and film industry, today announced the details of its Annual IODA Opening Day Bash at the upcoming South by Southwest Conference and Festival (SXSW) in Austin, Texas. Over the last seven years, the concert has proven itself an essential showcase for some of the hottest acts of the year including Blind Pilot, The Black Angels, Deer Tick, Bear in Heaven, Sleepy Sun, Carsick Cars and Frightened Rabbit.
As IODA continues to expand its international footprint, most recently announcing plans to launch IODA Africa, the company’s marketing team has focused on bringing attention to a roster of developing artists from across the globe. This year’s IODA SXSW Opening Day Bash line up is the culmination of these efforts, representing 11 buzz bands — seven of which are from regions outside of the U.S. including China, France, Sweden, Taiwan and the UK.
During the conference, IODA Founder and CEO Kevin Arnold will moderate the panel “The Indie View: What the Latest Digital Music Models Mean to Indies.” Arnold will also participate in the panel “Entrepreneurs in Music” moderated by Jonas Woost.
An annual tradition, all bands featured at IODA’s Opening Day Bash will be part of IODA’s free SXSW music sampler. To hear this collection of music, go to www.iodasxsw.com.
