South by Southwest Music Festival XX

I have a love/hate relationship with SXSW. I love the influx of cool bands, but I hate having to pay through the ass to see 'em. I hate that it's hard as hell to find a good Austin band for Band of the Week when the show list looks like this. But, I love that I can get off my Texas music motif and blog bands from all over the world...since they're in Austin this week. That said, Today's SXSW songs of the day...

From Hamilton, ON: Sail Boats are White: Veto

From Bellingham, WA : The Shook Ones: Slaughter of the Insole

From Connecticut, CT: Apathy: The Winter Feat Blue Rapsberry
