This band is playing KUTX Wednesday morning and Mohawk Wednesday (no time yet). According to this bio:
Los Eclipses is a Franco-Mexican duo formed by French singer Eva de Marce and musician/producer Dan Solo.
I can't find much more information on them.
"Sauvage" is a nice tune.
"L'Empire" is good, too.
This is their most streamed song. Nice. They would be fun to see.
KEXP is curating the Day Stage at Brush Square Park on Monday as part of its Eastern Echos program. It says it is "a new sonic destination to celebrate Asian artists who are shaping the future while honoring the roots that ground them."
This is a husband and wife in Seattle. They are also playing KUTX at Scholz on Wednesday and Lazarus Brewing at 4pm on Saturday. They met in 8th grade in Spokane. This article has a good background on them. Cool story:
“I think we had very different childhoods,” Anne says with a chuckle. She met Bryce in the eighth grade while living in Spokane, but before her and her family landed in Eastern Washington, they lived in a variety of locales after leaving China when she was six or seven years old. Anne and her family lived in Michigan, Arizona, and West Virginia before venturing to Washington State. She recalls having attended seven different public schools before her family found a permanent home in Spokane, due to the nature of her father’s work and “getting settled in the country as immigrants.”
Here's a performance on KEXP.
"Take me to Beijing" from that performance is really good.
This song gets airplay on KUTX and KCRW:
This band is playing at 1pm Wednesday at Cheer Up Charlie's. They are also playing the KCRW day party on Tuesday at 4:20pm. hmm. Per their bio:

They announced the Wednesday day party at Cheer Up Charlie's, called "Friendship is Beautiful". This band is playing outside at 12:30pm. They also play Tuesday on the Radio Day Stage as part of KCRW's day party and they're doing SXSanJose, too. They'll be busy. The SXSW bio says:

Praised as one of the best Brazilian albums of the year, it resonated with shoegaze lovers for its lush guitars, haunting melodies, and introspective lyrics.
"Charlie" is their newest release.
This is pretty good. They might be a good way to start the day.
This alt-pop band from Dublin, Ireland is playing a few shows: the Paste Party (no date/time yet), Brush Square Park (Tuesday 8pm free to public), and the Full Irish Breakfast at Dead Rabbit on Friday at 2pm. Per Wikipedia:

Number 1. Impressive.
The SXSW website says:
the band is known for their atmospheric synths, glassy guitars, dynamic rhythms, and introspective lyrics that explore identity, relationships, and self-discovery...With a sold-out orchestral performance at Dublin’s National Concert Hall and new music on the way, Soda Blonde is set to bring their eclectic and captivating sound to SXSW 2025.
"Terrible Hands" is an older song. Nice mellow pop.
"The Saddest Thing" is one of their new singles.
This is good. Kind of reminds me of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill."
