SXSW 2010
Finally! Here’s some select info about SXSW 2010. I’ll be adding more to this section in the next three weeks, but the info below is a good start. A lot of repeats, yes, but these are the bands I want to see! If you have a wrist band or badge and want to go to official shows, you can look them up at sxsw.com. If you’re looking for a comprehensive list of unofficial and free shows, you should check out www.showlistaustin.com and www.donewaiting.com.
Below are a few unofficial events that I’d say are worth your time. Yes, many of the bands show up in several listings (they are that good). Have fun and don’t forget to rock.
