SXSW 2022: Petey

The Austin Chronicle just came out with the "Field Guide to the 101 Essential Acts at SXSW". Since it doesn't look like NPR is putting out a list this will be the fallback. No way I can go through all of them so I'll again try to find the ones we have a chance to see.  Their summary of this artist:

Petey doesn't enclose himself in a performer's image, music genre, or even a specific side of comedic TikTok. The multifaceted entertainer expands beyond the realms of indie-rock and electro-pop, ultimately forming his sound through blunt lyrics on mental health, relationships, and masculinity. By combining personal reflections with shouted words accompanied by distorted edits, the native Midwesterner creates a year-round playable vibe of relatability and transformative experiences

He now lives in L.A. and even got the New Yorker treatment.   Our chance to see him is Wednesday at Mohawk

"Lean Into Life" reminds me of LCD Soundsystem.  The song below reminds me of Band of Horses. I really like what I've heard.
