What is SXSW Music?

Thursday March 19, 2009 at 05:29 PM

SXSW Music should be all about seeing bands you don't know. With rare exception, if you saw the band last month, or they're coming to your town next month, skip the South By show. Instead, take the time to go see a metal band in the tiny side room of a venue called "The Music Gym," listen to them make Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, and Jurassic Park references, and watch as the one clip light they have lighting their set blows out and the audience has to hold up flashlights to see the band. 

Check out these photos from last night when we went to see Colossus from Raleigh, NC, and remember this when you're deciding what shows to go see next.
