SXSW Partial Band List Announced. NEXT.

And, as usual, no one from Kansas City is on it. Yet. (You will be glad to know, however, that Dananananaykroyd, from Glasgow, is.)

A coworker was wondering aloud today whether the festival would be as big this year because of the economy. Many of the unsigned acts that flood the city — playing free shows any place that will have them, paying all their own expenses, sleeping in the van and so forth — probably won’t be able to go this year. And in past years, that’s precisely how Kansas City bands have gone: DIY style. But I won’t know — or I’ll have to read about it — because I won’t be going. The economy, you know.

So, that said, anyone from hereabouts going?
