Looking for alternative music shows in Austin? You've come to the right place.

Every year, Austin, Texas, plays host to an official music festival called South By Southwest (but more commonly called SxSW). This festival brings in hundreds of musicians and groups from all over the United States and even from overseas. It's an intense festival with performances running almost non-stop for several days.

This site is about "all the other stuff" -- all unofficial -- that happens around the same time. You can read more about what that means here; but also see the disclaimers below.
