Today's Morning Edition music is from "Bashful Creatures" by the band Hippo Campus, whose members met one another while they were students at the St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists.

They are in Austin, Texas, for the South By Southwest music, film and tech festival and will be playing two shows there Thursday.

Hippo Campus could benefit significantly from the exposure at the festival.

Band members are barely out of high school, but have already generated a lot buzz in the area and are ready to take their music to a national audience.

Last month, they signed with Grand Jury Records who will re-release their EP, which was produced by Alan Sparhawk of Low.
