It’s that time of the year again, SXSW is right around the corner so purchase your badges as soon as possible! For those low on funds, don’t worry, just like last year, I will definitely keep you informed on any free concerts (like this one) and events going on during that week. 

You can check out the list of announced bands here.
Buy badges here. 

On a similar note, there are so many great shows coming up around the area in the next year that it would be a shame not to mention:

August Burns Red - Emo’s East 1.28.12
The Naked and Famous - Stubb’s Austin - 3.23.12
Bob Schneider - Gruene Hall - 3.31.12
Childish Gambino - Stubb’s Austin - 4.05.12 
The Black Keys with special Guest Arctic Monkeys - Frank Erwin Center - 4.25.12
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Frank Erwin Center - 5.5.12
M83 with I Break Horses - Stubb’s Austin - 5.18.12
Red Hot Chili Peppers - AT&T Center - 9.29.12

Also, damn everyone who bought their Radiohead tickets the first day they went on sale!

This is my favorite time of the year, simply because of all the live music and how lit of Austin gets around this time. I hope you see some of you guys at these shows!
