konk Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 How does this compare to SXSW? Of course I have no idea what South by was like in it's 8th year, but I went in 06, 07, and worked in 08. Is it harder to get into multiple shows per night because there are no badges? What about afterparties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it harder to get into multiple shows per night because there are no badges? What about afterparties? i'm sure plenty of people have been to both, i have been to fest the past 3 years and only went to sxsw once but man...they are totally different. when i was at sxsw you are right. its much more about badges and waiting in lines early. plus there did seem like a lot of 'private' need to know someone shows and events. the fest is not like that at all. it's just a shit ton of venues that are open to everyone pretty much. some do get full but it's nothing like sxsw.

Of course I have no idea what South by was like in it's 8th year, but I went in 06, 07, and worked in 08. Is it harder to get into multiple shows per night because there are no badges? What about afterparties? the big difference is ones a festival which caters to a certain demographic of the punk rock community, and the other is a conference. the festival portion of sxsw caters to all kinds of music genres and what not. sxsw is first and foremost a conference for the music/film/interactive entertainment industry. The festival is full of non-label and signed bands who are there for many reasons. some are there to get noticed by fans, others for reason of getting signed. and others are just plain invited to play to get people to come to the festival. Fest on the other hand is a endeavor made by fans for fans. everyone's there for the same reason. to have a good time and see some music. oh and drink beer! everyone is a little more laid back and everyone has the same thing on their mind.. see bands and have fun. vitty vlog: I know sxsw seems a bit more a "it's who you know" that gets you into after parties and events, if you play your cards right, you don't need to be a music editor, a band member, talent scout, or label exec.. You just have to know the system. standing in lines is ridiculous. if you know what goes on, you can see most bands several times over the festival period. Leaving you open to do other things, see other bands, etc etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konk Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks. It definitely seems more about the music. The Red Bull afterparty of 2006 will be hard to beat though. 2007 was too crowded and they didn't have the Halo room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanukichu Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I won't believe the Jawbreaker thing till I see it. PS. Anyone who is driving want to carpool from Philly/stop in Philly. I will chip in for gas and buy you a few meals. For serious. I think it's the only way I'd be able to afford to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Every year, someone says Jawbreaker is playing and every year, they don't play. If they haven't played a show since 1996, why would they now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Another Tom Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 If Jawbreaker do play i would hate to be one of the bands that has the same time slot in another venue. I hear it's not that fun playing to a tumbleweed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controlthebleeding Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Jawbreaker is not playing anything.... it would be nice, but you have a better chance of getting NIGHT RANGER to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kouka Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Guys, I heard Jawbreaker is playing this year. i would bet big time that they are trying to get Thorns of Life to play though, which would me amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear it's not that fun playing to a tumbleweed. Eh, I'd skip Jawbreaker if they did play. For one I'm not a big fan, but also because I don't like the big shows at Fest. I skipped a lot of pretty good bands at last year's Fest just cause I didn't want to deal with The Venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
