The Daily Buzz spoke to The Barberettes, a retro Korean female trio made up of three vocalists: Shinae An Wheeler, Grace Kim and So Hee Park, at SXSW during the Music portion of the festival. Specializing in harmony, this very stylish doo wop group takes us back in time with their nostalgic interpretations of hits from the 1950s and 1960s such as "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes and "Barbara Ann" by the Beach Boys. They call themselves the "Time Traveling Girl Group" and have inspired a new wave of fashion followers with their dapper outfits and picture perfect hair and makeup.

The Daily Buzz at the 2015 SXSW Festival is sponsored by Production Legal, Moontower Comedy and Oddity Festival, Soundcloud and Cloud Electronics. With additional support from KUT, Kind Snacks, Texas Tea and Squeeze and Sabra Hummus.
