The Foundation, which has once again teamed up with the International Showcase Fund, will also support Bad Breeding, Gomez’ Ben Ottewell, Boxed In, God Damn, Kero Kero Bonito, Mallory Knox, PC Music, Redinho, Rival Consoles and Solomon Grey to attend the showcase.
The International Showcase Fund is run by the Foundation in partnership with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), Arts Council England, British Underground and Musicians' Union.
It offers support for UK artists to take their first steps into international territories by enabling them to perform at global showcasing festivals and conferences.
Data for 2013-14 shows that 86 percent of artists funded through the scheme reported significant business outcomes as a result of their trip, with the other 14 percent reporting increases in fan bases and media attention, and also new relationships with industry in their chosen territory.
UKTI’s Lord Livingston, minister for trade and investment, said: ‘The International Showcase Fund is a helpful resource for many UK artists breaking into new territories. Music exports were worth £2.2bn to the UK economy last year – I look forward to following the results generated by the exciting group of bands which are being supported by the showcase fund.’
PRS for Music Foundation executive director Vanessa Reed added: ‘Thanks to our partnership with UKTI, Arts Council England, Musicians Union and British Underground, talented artists ready to break into new markets are able to attend industry showcases which would have been too expensive for them without our help.
‘We’re proud that The International Showcase Fund is a vital resource which contributes to the success of UK music overseas. We’re proud it has a strong track record of helping artists get real results.’
Last month, PRS for Music Foundation announced a partnership with BBC Introducing to host a SXSW showcase for four emerging acts - Gengahr, Spring King, Blossoms and SOAK.
