For bands, The Savannah Stopover is a way to ease into the festival insanity that is SXSW, and for audiences it’s a chance to catch a lot of bands who are on their way Austin, but in a much more laid back atmosphere. Having the fest in Savannah’s downtown district, where you can drink on the street and take your beverage with you from venue to venue, is a nice bonus.

Bat Fangs is the newish duo of singer/guitarist Betsy Wright (Ex Hex, Chain and the Gang) and drummer Laura King (Flesh Wounds, Speed Stick). If you like any of their other groups, chances are you’ll dig the glammy, riffy hard rock sound they make together.
