Music To Your Ears Sxsw: Get It While It's Cheaper
To the New Mexico bands who think they’ve got zero chance at making Austin’s official South by Southwest music showcase and therefore never bother to apply: You’re wrong. You should go for it. Honestly, there’s not a lot of competition from our sparsely populated state. And once-local musicians now living outside New Mexico are playing those odds to their advantage, submitting their bands under the Zia flag, even though they don’t actually care to live here anymore. Don’t let those douchebags take your slot. The last day to submit is Nov. 6, but if you apply by Sept. 25, you’ll shave $10 off the regular $40 fee. You’ve got 30 bucks. Now go make us proud. Visit sxsw.com/music/shows/apply for all the gooey details.
