First note (of many) about SXSW

so,

As many of you know I will be attending the SXSW: Music Conference and Festival this year and I couldn't be more excited. They have started posting the massive list of acts performing. Much to my happiness there is lots too choose from. It feels like I'm getting a live taste of the Rock/Indie playlist I get once every other month.

Here is a first glance look at groups I would like to see:

Angry Vs. The Bear
Alexisonfire
Backseat Goodbye
Blue King Brown
The Courteeners
The Crystal Method
Cut off your Hands
Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobious Pip
Get Cap Wear Cap Fly
Good Old War
The Grates
Harlem Shakes
The Hours
Lights
Dent May and his Magnificent Ukulele
Moneen
Peter Bjorn and John
+/- {Plus/Minus}
Josh Pyke
Ra Ra Riot
Anni Rossi
Sofia Talvik
Your Vegas

Now I think you see my problem. There is too much good stuff to see (Doesn't everyone wish that was their problem?!). Plus, I would like to hear some new and interesting groups that I have not discovered yet. Now I know that I won't be able to see everything I want. It's likely that they end up having two different groups that I want to see playing at the same time in different venues. But this will not stop me from trying see see everything possible. I will keep you posted with other groups that arise that are of interest and other SXSW: Music news
