OK, so I may not be THE next best thing to being there, but it’s a great mix of music from some wonderful talent… all in one place… yours to keep… for FREE!
We’ve covered quite a few bands that will be heading to SXSW this week, but not even close to half of them. Not even close to a quarter of them even. Hell, probably not even close to a quarter of a quarter of a quarter of them. I was just looking over the schedule, and wow, Austin is going to be one hoppin’ place over the next several days.
So, today we present you with a mix of great music from some bands that are going to be gracing Austin with their presence this week. There is no rhyme or reason to this… it’s simply a collection of some songs by artists heading to SXSW that we’ve covered here on TheFrontloader.com at one time or another and some we’ve gotten in our inbox but haven’t had a chance to share with you yet.
So, download the zip or pick out certain songs to make your own mix tape of sorts, grab some headphones, close your eyes, pour your drink of choice (ok, do this before closing your eyes), and pretend you’re one of the lucky ones that found their way to Austin this week.
Then make sure to stop by the artists’ sites, show them some love, pick up an album, and spread the word…
