Spring Break is coming, so that means millions of music geeks, freaks, elitist pricks, and others in 'the know' will unite from all over the world in Austin, TEJAS for SOUTH BY SOUTH WEST... I cannnnnot stand City Worship... But SXSW is certainly a kick butt event... Are you going? If you are... send me some great photos and I'll post them here!

OLD TIME RELIJUN
BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW
HEARTS OF ANIMALS (houston)
OCTOPUS PROJECT
PATTERN IS MOVEMENT

AIRLINE: A GARY NUMAN TRIBUTE BAND!
