Houston’s Tontons are taking SXSW by storm, playing a slew of shows and appearing on high profile bills with bands such as Dawes. We are pleased to have the band playing the Pop Press International and No Play Music curated All Tamara’s Parties show at Cheer Up Charlie’s on Tuesday March 12th. We named the Tontons a must-see artist for SXSW 2013, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities. The band’s most recent single “Bones” floored us and we can’t wait to hear more from this band that is definitely on the rise. Below you can read a short interview we did with the band followed by an mp3 of “Bones” and the group’s full SXSW appearance schedule.
