Scottish Arts Council Shindig For Bands Thinking Of Heading To SXSW
The ever-helpful Cultural Enterprise Office and The Scottish Arts Council are putting on two events - one each in Glasgow and Edinburgh - for bands thinking of showcasing at SXSW next March. Even if you're only pondering the idea right now, we'd urge you to get down to one of them. Bands (including Scott from Sons & Daughters in Glasgow and Tommy & Ziggy from FOUND in Edinburgh) will regale you with tales of...August 2, 2009
SXSW 2010 Registration Open
As SXSW Baby points out, SXSW have pushed the button a day early on the new site, through which you can register and book hotels for next year's shenanigans.
