CarolSei's SXSW Journey: Space Between Words

Space Between Words

An edgy alternative, garage band from Miami, Florida brought a little sunshine with them to SXSW 2012.

And what I mean by sunshine is their latest EP, The Valley of the Lizard King, which was released on March 20.

The EP is a lyrical roller coaster ride that takes you through the twists and turns that life sets in your way.

If you're curious exactly what Space Between Words sounds like, The Miami New Times describes them as, "If Weezer's Pinkerton and The Pixes' Doolittle made passionate love on a hot night in a dingy motel with a broken air-conditioner, that would be Space Between Words."

So, there you go...and follow the links below for more information. Do it!!!

About This Blog

Long story, short...I love Texas music and Texas in general. A friend/co-worker of mine told me about SXSW and suggested that I look into getting a press pass to write news articles. I'm a DJ and the office manager at WRFL, 88.1 FM, and through WRFL, along with the WRFL concert director we're going to SXSW on press passes. YEAH :-) (Thanks to the help of many cool people and especially our awesome WRFL media adviser.) This will be my first time to SXSW, my first time out west, my first time to Texas, my first time flying on an airplane, my first time attending a music festival and many more first time anything and everything to come. Track my blog and you can keep track of my majestic journey to SXSW.

What Is SXSW?

South by Southwest (SXSW) is a music conference and festival. It was first held in 1987 in Austin, Texas. Austin has an eclectic music scene that includes blues, country, folk, jazz and rock. Central Austin claims to have more original music nightclubs in a concentrated area than any other city in the world. SXSW was created because even though Austin was a diverse and thriving music city, Austin musicians still struggled due to being isolated in the middle of Texas. SXSW was a way for musicians to reach out and bring people together to do business. National and international interest from music businesses began in the first two years of SXSW's creation. In 1994, SXSW added a film and interactive component. SXSW's goal is to crate an event that acts as tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop careers to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas, whether it's in music, film or internet.
