Things that boggle the mind: BrooklynVegan in Austin

The official BrooklynVegan showcase at SXSW was announced today. I can't quite wrap my head around this. The site is a local NYC music blog, so why would they go down to Austin? I know SXSW makes Texas the center of the music world for one week in March every year, but there is something very illogical about this whole thing. Then agaib, whoever expected a site called BrooklynVegan to be dedicated to music instead of something like, say, veganism?

For those interested, the lineup are a bunch of bands I could probably care less about: Bell, Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers, Loch Lomond, Those Darlins, Phosphorescent, and Deer Tick. I guess if those bands tickle your fancy and you are down in Austin during SXSW, you should check them out at Club De Ville on Wednesday night, March 18, 2009. I will be in NYC checking out the shows that are actually going on in Brooklyn that week!

Anyone going to SXSW should make it a priority to see the International Noise Conference showcase! I've never heard of any of the above bands, are they actually Brooklyn bands?

That's a very good question!
