When asked about her big splash at SXSW this year Darnaa said, "I performed last year at the Go Girls' Showcase and did some guerilla promotion stuff throughout the weekend near Fader Fort. I had such a great time, this year my management and I decided to host my own tent party to premiere my new "Cowgirl" single and video. We have 45 bands playing over three days coming to represent the tent, along with a handful of extra special friends. The response has been incredible!"

Runaway", "Calling It Love", "We All Sleep Alone", and "The Moment', has become an instant YouTube sensation.
