I still have very little reason to go outside so onwards with the next alphabetical characters in SxSW’s list of showcasing bands….except I’ve changed my mind. This is actually insane and I have far more important things to do. So, I’m only going to recommend bands, and forget about the...
SXSW Beginner's Guide - #1
This is a misleading title (that one up there ^) because I’m actually a beginner. I’m guiding myself so it’s of little use to youze out there. Besides you’ve all been at least twice and I’ve NEVER BEEN so stop showing off yeah?! So my idea is to try to listen to all the bands in one letter category every time I post about Sxsw. So here goes A in REAL TIME. Aa (...
