SXSW 2009 Starts Today! March 18th

free mp3s:

So I made it to Austin in one piece after being wonderfully looked after by Nikki Mule in New Yawk. Thanks Nikki. I caught a couple of great gigs there (read about them in the Music Reviews category) that have made got me itching for more good music. Good job there are something like 1400 bands about to play over the next 5 days of SXSW festival in Austin then!

Here’s a quick list of some bands I’m hoping to catch on day 1. It’s a rough list with some doubles and time clashes so in practice the list of who I see will be nothing like this I imagine.

Bring on the pain!
