Class of 2007: Shapes Have Fangs

Hometown: Austin, TX
Label: Unsigned
Showcase Dates/Times TBD


Native Texans Shapes Have Fangs haven't even reached 5000 hits on their MySpace page, but don't count them out for a spot on 2007's list of SXSW success stories. On top of their indie-pop sheen and comparisons to The Shins, their infusion of garage-rock sensibility and frenetic guitar playing is more agile and explosive than most of their indie-pop compatriots would ever dare put onto tape. They are a little fish in the sea of 1400 acts that will descend onto Austin, but based on their impressive live performances, look out for some serious buzz spurred by their appearances.

Track Highlights: The Spectre, Slumber Party (available on their MySpace page)
