Even better...all 3 bands (The Datsuns, The D4, and The Datson Four) will be 
at SXSW this year. I saw The Datsuns SXSW gig last year. A bit "heavy" for 
me but they definitely rocked the hell out of 
Beerland(www.beerlandtexas.com).
There are a total of 6 NZ bands playing the festival this year and 8 bands 
from Australia. I'm hoping to see Betchadupa, a band that includes Liam Finn 
(yes, Neil's son) on guitar/vocals. It also looks like The Innocents are 
slated to appear as well.

Lots of good bands coming this year...no doubt, many showcases will conflict 
with each other and difficult choices will have to be made (sigh...)

30 days and counting...
