There’s something like 2,118 bands playing official and unofficial SXSW shows in March. If you take a look at the list of invited performers, chances are you’ll only know about 20% of the names so as a service to you, potential SXSW attendee, we’re going to be profiling some of the bands in the weeks leading up to SXSW. If your band is playing at SXSW and you’d like to be profiled here, answer the following questions and send them to chipmidnight AT hotmail DOT com and we’ll post ’em here.
