I had this great plan this year that I would tweet each band I saw as I was watching it so that I could keep a more accurate count of shows. However, the AT&T network took a big shit during SXSW putting a quick stop to that plan. So, here is my official band list from this year. I didn’t make the goal of beating 50, but I did get to see a lot more quality bands this time around. And I actually think it was better this way. More soon.
