Greetings. Salutations.

Will you be in Austin for SXSW? If so...let me know...I'll be in town Wednesday - Sunday. SXSW is seriously my favorite music event all year...I mean, come on now...4 full days of bands, beers and burritos...what could be better? I'm stoked.

For those of you that have XM Satellite Radio...XMU will be recording acoustic sets from some amazing indie bands during this year's SXSW extravaganza...so, tune into XMU - Channel 43 on Friday and Saturday beginning at 9 am west / noon east each day to hear the music and mayhem. Check out the list below of bands that will be visiting the XMU Acoustic Lounge...it's pretty sweet!
