SXSW this year
Based on a reply Carl Horn made to a post on Patrick Macias's blog, I thought I'd check out the list of who is playing at South by Southwest this year. There are always some great bands playing, and this year we've got anime fan favorites The Pillows. Also from Japan are Bleach (interesting chaotic punk -- I got one of their CDs for Christmas but haven't listened to the whole thing yet), Shonen Knife, and Guitar Wolf. Not that I'll be anywhere near Austin around the time of SXSW, but I like to keep up with what's going on.

Of course, the rumor is that they'll be going on a little mini-tour while they're here, but hard dates are hard to come by. Hopefully they'll be in Chicago at some point.

If The Pillows do make it to Chicago I'm going to try my hardest to go, but it's still quite a drive from here (especially if they're playing on a weeknight). We'll just have to see.
