I don’t know if it was being out of the office twice last week on work-relat­ed ‘mis­sions,’ or if it’s real­iz­ing that after being faced with an impromp­tu inter­view with one of the best-sell­ing female artists of all time, but indie bands at SXSW should be pret­ty fun.

Are you going to be there too? Want to offer your pithy insights for an audi­ence who isn’t com­plete­ly sure what ‘indie rock’ is? Be in touch [email icon thingy in top left] and we’ll see if we can’t shoe­horn you between say the Raveonettes and the Mae Shi.
