I am really excited about Red Bull’s Sound Select 120 hours in Austin. They are hosting five parties over 5 day and each will feature a band chosen by user votes. Each party will start at 4pm (great for those who get a late start to sxsw) and at Gatsby’s (708 E 6th St Austin) except the Saturday show where location and time haven’t been set. Check the lineup below, and I am sure I will see you there.

One year, I went to a MOKB day party that had free tacos and red stripe (there were really only about 50 tacos for everyone) and after the mad dash tacos was over I swear I had the best tacos and beer of my life! Because at SXSW that is all you eat and that is all you want! Trust me. So I recommend this party for those memories alone. But in case my stroll down memory lane isn’t enough to convince you to check out this party this year, look at the lineup! This party takes place over two days Thursday, March 14 and Friday March 15th  each from  Noon – 8pm at ​Peckerhead’s (402 E. 6th St)

THURSDAY (3/14) Swear & Shake, Andrew Combs, Criminal Hygiene, Sam Flax, Calvin Love, DWNTWN, God Des & She, K.I.D.S., Jetta, Houndmouth, Futurebirds, Pokey Lafarge

FRIDAY (3/15):
