In Which I Am Too Tired From SXSW To Write Very Much About SXSW For Now

Here is a quick list of the bands I saw at SXSW (and links to videos where I managed to take video). I really didn’t get to see as many bands as I would have seen if I had not been there for work, but I was as always more than thrilled to have the opportunity to spend the entire week in Austin chasing down clients, drinking with said clients, watching bands and then calling it a day’s (week’s) work. Thank goodness for Twitter; I don’t think I would have otherwise remembered all these names.

• Ishii
• Grand Hallway
• The Non
• The Boxing Lesson
• The Gary
• The Great Nostalgic
• Temper Trap
• Octopus Project
• Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
• Electric Valentine
• The Watson Twins
• Wall With One Eye
• Free Energy
• Zoe Keating
• Ellen Fullman & The Long String Instrument

I spoke on a well-attended, feisty panel about music licensing for emerging media. More on this later.

Unrelated/related note: I wrote and performed a song about SXSW to open the conference at the introductory panel How To Rawk SXSW. It ended up on the PepsiCo blog.
