Kate Nash’s “people” told me that she would not be performing at SXSW. So either:
a) they lied to me (bastards!)
b) they were misinformed, or
c) plans have changed.
I simply can’t imagine that she would come all the way to Austin to play one day party and nothing else. And also, I know that the list posted at sxsw.com is incomplete because I know at least half a dozen bands who received a letter of acceptance from SXSW but are not listed on the lineup. I don’t know WHY that is; I just know that it is. So it’s most probably that Nash is playing SXSW but it just hasn’t been officially announced yet for whatever reason.

I heard the same thing as Matt about the SPIN day party, “go to the booth”, but someone told me they’ll only give a pass to certain people. So if you’ve got a company listing on your badge that doesn’t appeal to them, they’re not going to hand you one (and yeah, don’t bother asking).

I agree with Alex. I’ve been to plenty “industry”-filled shows (not at SXSW) and the fun ones aren’t these exclusive ones… although I do quite enjoy reading Q mag. =P

Matt -
Thanks for the tips. I guess the badge can only get you so far. And I’m sorry you got laughed at! I may try showing up early, thanks for telling me. :)

One more thing, if you REALLY want to go to one of these your best bet is to just show up really early when they’re just starting. Sometimes the person working the door is cool or just trying to get some bodies in the venue so it doesn’t look empty.

Whoever said go to the booth at the conference has never tried that, the person at the SPIN booth basically laughed at me when I asked last year.

Mary – You have to remember that SXSW is set up as an Industry Event. So it is industry people who are getting invited based on their relationships within the music business and it is posted on the website because SXSW is catering to those people…not the common festival goer or music fan coming to see shows.
