Deli Readers
,
After a somewhat dramatic competition, atmospheric psych/post rockers Equals won our Best of Austin Readers’ and Fans’ Poll for Emerging Artists, congrats to them! Kudos also to electro-rock duo Auto Body, who placed 2nd, and alt-folk ensemble The Preservation, third in this list. Great bands and great variety!
Boy (the band) also deserves a mention here. They were leading the poll when they realized that a fan was helping them gather votes through illicit hacking. If everybody showed this kind of integrity the world would be a much better place – we want you guys in Congress! We decided to cut down their votes to 5% of the total, so that they would still appear in the top five, since it’s very likely that at least a portion of those votes was legitimate.
