That's right. Now that awards season has officially come to an end (thanks to all that Oscars business last night and the Grammy Awards two weeks ago) we can focus on more important things. SXSW is March 18-22 and it's...
The South by Southwest Music Conference and Festival will be here before you know it. In real time, that's March 18-22. Already announced is this year's keynote speaker: Quincy Jones. We've got the list of the first round of bands...
Are you still hoping some mythical record-label Mr. Big will sign you? Dreamers can apply now to perform at next year's South By Southwest. Or if you'd rather just see bands and attend the conference, you can buy an all-access...
Jean Grae said, "Hip-hop ain't dead, it was on vacation!" And then came Talib Kweli. I'll admit it. This will not be objective; I even waited a couple of days after his Saturday evening show at Auditorium Shores, thinking that...
Haha, poor Mike. (Eric Schlegel / DMN) I just posted a new slideshow (photos of Day 5) on the SXSW page, and Bridgette is working on getting up several videos from the last of the festival. Stay tuned! ......
Another slideshow! We bring you the bands, the hoards and the streets of Austin from the 22nd annual SXSW music fest. Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5...

Here's a report from pop music critic Thor Christensen, on outsmarting the lines: Look! There's Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine walking alone on a deserted downtown street. Look! There's Fastball guitarist Miles Zuniga trying to steal the taxi...
Now you can hear and see what Dawn was blogging about (below). Another of our awesome photogs, Nathan Hunsinger, was also at the Big Red Rooster show last night (more like early this morning). He video'd Big Red Rooster on...
It took a moment (more on that later), but I'm a Big Red Rooster booster. Their show started at 1 a.m. on the patio at Bourbon Rocks (the BoDeans were playing the main room). Drunk is the outfit of choice,...

SXSW describes this Canadian guitarist's genre as "experimental." But in actuality, Kaki King's music is rather traditional as acoustic new age music, which is no longer considered an experimental genre for the most part. What perhaps keeps Ms. King in...
First verse: the singer leapt into the crowd. Within five seconds, he'd lost th sound on his mike. The bassist and guitarist stood in lyric-wise, as did the crowd: a fair amount of the 300 or so here knew the...
That's how the gents in Enuff Z'Nuff would have spelled it, anyway ... Now that i've got antibiotics in me and a nice supply of medical-grade painkillers in my possession, the sinus infection seems to be at bay. So I'm...
