Anyone going to South by Southwest this year? For those of you that have never been are really missing out. Basically it's a 5 day music expo in Austin with a ton of relatively undiscovered bands searching for labels. I listen to a wide range of music from indie stuff to harcore and this festival has it all. Here is a link with this years lineup so far

Wristbands are usually $60 dollars which will get you into 90% of the venues. How it works is A&R people with badges get in first, wristband wearers second and people paying at the door third (if there is room in the venue).
