Years ago, I came to SXSW to see The Last Bison perform. Now with a few new hits and a refined sound, they're back, playing at Austin's esteemed film and music festival once more.
Frontman Ben Hardesty came on the show to discuss
- The story behind their evolving sound
- What went into making their latest music video
- How they create a unified experience for their fans across the country
- What getting signed by a label has meant to the band
- Staying true to one's values while building an audience
Make fans that are friends." - Ben Hardesty
After the interview, you can hear Last Bison's song "Dark Am I."

SXSW 2019: Notable Films, Music, & Experiences
Recently I had the opportunity to do podcast coverage at SXSW 2019, my third time doing coverage at Austin's preeminent film and music festival. (Before, I did coverage there as The nsavides Podcast. I changed the name to NICKSAV Film & Music SHOW for clarity and because nicksav.show is easier to remember then podcast.nsavides.com.)
Part I of my coverage includes some general observations about the festival, what captured my attention and why, and some of my favorite film and music experiences
