SXSW is around the corner thus meaning tons of rumors flying around, RVSPs starting to pop up and most importantly finding out what bands are playing. Similar to last year, I will be posting about shows that I think you should check out. I will also include whether or not they are 21+, free, etc. 

Here are some tips:

  • Plan out and know ahead of time what shows you want to go to (Also remember things can change)
    For example: Almost saw The Kills but it was too packed. Found out about Sleigh Bells down the street and was able to catch them (It was a fantastic show btw)
  • Carry around a backpack or something to hold belongings, carry snacks, etc. There is always free merch being given out. 
  • Have cash on you just in case
  • I recommend getting a bus pass or riding a bake in order get around
  • Charge your phone when you get a chance or get one of these. Trust me, if you’re out all day, your phone will die. 

Finally, constantly check twitter for the latest news.
I recommend following the bands you want to see and these:

TONIGHT! via @BondMusicGroup @RAC DJs at The Beauty Ballroom in Austin, Texas! 
Bond Music Group represents some of the BEST talent out right now, with NO exceptions when it comes to RAC DJs. We were fortunate enough to host RAC DJs at our SXSW showcase 2011. The duo’s live set blew me away! I attended 2 or 3 of their sets that week because I couldn’t get enough! 
Tix for the show are available for only $12, here. Get yours before they sell out! This is the perfect dance party to experience the BRAND NEW Beauty Ballroom before their HUGE Grand Opening Party next weekend!
See u on the dance floor!
