M3 2010 SXSW Picks
Its another March, when once again Austin becomes a hot-bed of activity as the 2010 South By South West (SXSW) Festival comes to town. Thought leaders in the fields of web, interaction, media, design, film-making and the music industry get together to rub shoulders, share ideas and provoke change. The SXSW music conference showcases nearly 2000 musical acts at over 80 venues of all genres from around the globe.
For the many music loving [applied] Design Thinkers at M3, it’s our favorite time of the year to be in Austin! For your listening pleasure, we asked some of our most knowledgeable music aficionados to create their lists of “do not miss” shows to make your SXSW experience a great one!
