It is that time of the year again where people begin to think of South By Southwest travels. As you know, South By Southwest is the annual music and arts festival in Austin, Texas. Hundreds maybe even thousands of bands play there during a week in March every year. Bands from all over the world travel to Austin, Texas to showcase their music at various clubs around Austin.
The past few years Vita.MN has showcased a send off party for those bands in Minneapolis that are making the trek down Interstate 35 to Austin, Texas. First Avenue tickets are available to see Minneapolis bands: Lookbook, Peter Wolf Crier, Jeremy Messersmith, Romantica, and City on the Make. That is quite the line up! Lookbook just played at the Current's 5th birthday party last Friday. Lookbbook is currently one of the hot Minneapolis live acts to check out. Lookbook could almost sell out First Avenue tickets for the main room on their own. If this is a show that you would like to see be sure to buy your First Avenue tickets asap!
There are too many bands announced for South By Southwest to list. Deer Tick, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Evan Dando, JJ, the XX, She and Him, Spoon, and the Soft Pack are just 1/1564th of the bands playing I would like to see!
One of these years I will make the trek, but for now I have to watch and listen from MPLS.
Here is a look of just how crazy things can get on Austin's popular 6th street
