Just a quick reminder that SXSW will be on March 13-17, 2009... did you get that? Here it is again:

SXSW Interactive: March 13-17, 2009

I'm just teasing.. :)

Anyway, here's another cool news about the said event. :

Panel programming at the SXSW Interactive Festival covers a range of geek-related concerns, ranging from blogging to new media business models to web design. Tuesday, March 17 is typically the day that the event tackles the question of how online technology has radically impacted the music industry. This is the case again in 2009, with several sessions related to this topic (including "New Interfaces for Performance" and "Addressing Piracy in User-Generated Content Platforms"). We're also particularly excited about the "Policy Trainwreck: How Copyright Law Failed the Digital Age" session on this day, which will feature the expertise of Dave Allen (Pampelmoose), Michael Petricone (CEA), Nancy Tarr (rockcandy.tv), and Brian Zisk (brianzisk.com). The newest addition to this panel is singer-songwriter Jonathan Coulton, who has built a huge following via his skillful use of the Internet. Be there on March 17 to hear his thoughts on how to get this train back on track.

At first I thought this "Japanese Motors" dudes, who are going to perform this coming SXSW, the 2009 SOuth by Southwest festival, are japanese.. well looks like they are not.. but if they are really Japanese, my bad.

Anyway, good for them to be performing in SXSW. Not all applications are approved you know. And to be there is a really good exposure!

Here's what we read:

Today is a day to very much live in the present, what with a historic event of some kind going on in Washington DC, but since we're obstinate like that, let's look a couple months into the future--specifically March 13-17 in Austin, TX, for South by Southwest.

We wrote a couple weeks back about the lack of Orange County/Long Beach bands on the initial crop of announced bands, but that's no longer the case, thankfully, as we've got quite a few of our favorite sons (and daughters) among the much, much larger list of bands recently announced, straight from SXSW itself. Not shockingly, two of them are Costa Mesa's Japanese Motors (pictured) and Long Beach's Crystal Antlers, both of whom have attracted national attention and label deals (and both played CMJ in NYC last fall).

Also not so surprising: Most of the bands come from Long Beach, not OC proper. Here's the list:Crystal Antlers (Long Beach)Japanese Motors (Costa Mesa)Magic Lantern (Long Beach)Rocco Deluca and the Burden (Long Beach)Sun Araw (Long Beach)Sara Haze (Lake Forest)Believe it or not, more announcements are to come, and we'll have them here when that happens.

Here's another line up post for the SXSW .. I included the permanent link to give credit and link back google juice to the blog...

The South by Southwest music festival announced a partial list of their acts today, including local power-poppers Hacienda. The list is quite obviously incomplete and is mostly absent of the A-list acts that will most definitely be announced later. Other than Hacienda, probably the coolest piece of news here is that reunited garage-rock pioneers the Sonics will play.

The rest of the list is below, with the groups I will personally vouch for the kick-assity of listed in bold.
