Or you can live in Austin for nearly 2.5 years and STILL have not heard even one live music event.

I used to live right downtown so I could hear some of the music it was nice.

Austin is semi-responsible for Amy Winehouse.

On a brighter note, Johnny Cash played one year. So did the White Stripes. Many unknowns play @ SXSW and get signed.

Well, if we're going to the Dollar Store for more DW glass(es), we might as well stop in for a yummy (margarita) breakfast at Amaya's. It's a rough life

True story!

South by Southwest USED to be the place where good local artists might get signed. It USED to be a showcase for unknown bands, usually from Texas. But then, well-known bands and artists started playing it. So unknown bands were pushed to the smaller venues and lost their audience and the point of the festival. Also, the influx of known artists has driven up the cost of wristbands to the point of being completely out of reach for the average person.

But it is good for tourism.
