Tomorrow begins another journey to Austin for that magical week that is SXSW Music.  Combining my two greatest passions, live music and research, I can’t wait to hit the ground running (sometimes literally) from venue to venue discovering all the up and coming bands from around the world.

LA is the best because there are always new bands coming through waiting to be discovered.  This week, some of my top SXSW picks are also coming to LA including a very stacked Monday night that starts with Sam Fender at the Moroccan Lounge and carries over to It’s a School Night at Bardot featuring The Snuts, Odette, and Tamino.
