Leave it to Jimmy Kimmel to find the left-field window through which to view the South By Southwest music festival experience.
He and the Jimmy Kimmel Live crew shot person-on-the-street interviews in Austin, Texas, getting reaction to some of the most buzz-worthy acts at this year’s conference — without informing interviewees that all the names they were being asked about represent non-existent performers.
Nonetheless, declining to be caught unaware of the next big thing, attendees offered remarkably detailed reactions to the music of acts such as Tonya & the Hardings (and their album Sorry About That, Nancy), DJ Korn Meal, I’m Not Done with the Salad (and its songs including I’m Not Tipping and Did It Look Like I Was Finished?), Vegan Bikini and Daenerys Targaryen & the Dragon Pony.
