SXSW Registration Open - Bands Submit Your Material!
If you are a music fan, you know SXSW because its one of the few places you can literally watch hundreds of bands in less than a week just by milling around Austin , Texas at night.
MUSICIANS — you want to be one of those bands! All kinds of industry execs attend the conference and playing a showcase is one way to put your band in front of them and the flock of music fans taking over Austin. Even though the deadline is in November for US based bands (October otherwise) start thinking about this now! Take a look at http://2008.sxsw.com/music/festival/apply_to_showcase/Â for more info.
What if you are interested in working in the music industry or in a band that wont showcase? You should read more about the conference. Its not just for music execs, but anyone wanting to learn more about promotion, running a business, etc all centered around music (also think about all the networking!)
