As a previous attendee to the SXSW music festival in Texas, when March comes along I always wish I was hopping on a plane and heading back. However - like a lot of things, its not all that affordable to head off to Austin Texas once a year, so have taken to following it online.
SXSW is probably one of the best festivals that can be followed online as various showcase events are streamed live & a lot of YouTube bloggers cover the festival with constant updates. With this in mind I have booked the whole week off work and am going to bring you the daily online highlights from this years SXSW festival.Its also a great place to discover new artists and also see some more established bands playing in unique venues. It has just been announced that Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds will play the NPR showcase at Stubb's BBQ (a backyard BBQ venue with a stage). Keep an eye on the new blog page leading up to the festival to stay up to date with bands that are playing and new announcements as we hear them.
