If you’re one of the 200,000 people to descend upon Austin’s city limits to partake in SXSW (and you know how to do it right now), and you want to see some of your favorite Brooklyn/Bushwick bands, you can do so at one of two places – at an official showcase (where festival badges/wristbands ARE required) or at one of the many free shows they will be playing next week

Before you get tripped up on the clashing consonants above, get in the know: SXSW stands for South By South West, America’s most diverse and innovative multimedia festival, and a Bushwick Daily favorite

Drums + Guitar/Bass/Other +/- vocals  = Music = Head-bobbing –> Dancing –> Total Happiness
