All music, video, and other band related materials are copyright the bands that are associated with them. I want to sincerely thank EVERY band that played at SXSW and especially the ones who have seen fit not to persecute (spelled: prosecute) me for displaying their talents on these pages.

NOTE: These pages are still being constructed. When I've finished them I will remove this note. Until then, keep coming back looking for more stuff.

Using the links above you will get to see and hear SXSW '98 the way that Johnny Rollerfeet and one of the Rollerfeet Grrlz, Becky Kapes, experienced it. If you have any questions or comments about the things you find before you, please don't hesitate to write me or Becky.

A note about the departure of this SXSW coverage and previous SXSW coverage by Rollerfeet.com: This is my first year to capture live video and audio from the conference. This means that you, the consumer, get a much truer interpretation of events. This, also, means that we, the creators, spent a lot more time digitizing and compiling this site. We probably won't talk about every band we list because we spent so much time working on showing you what they're really like. (That doesn't mean the bands we don't talk about were bad -- they just didn't impress us as much as the bands we do talk about.)

Under the icon for each band are four "buttons": for commentary, for pictures, for audio, and for video. The audio clips are in .mp3 format. Use either the MP3.com link on the left (or for my preferred mp3 player use the WinAmp icon) to get an mp3 player. The video is RealVideo and requires the RealVideo Player 5.0. If you are using a modem (either 28.8 or 56k) you'll probably want to turn on "PerfectPlay". Here's some instructions on how to do that.

Oh, by the way, if you aren't from Austin and this whole SXSW thing intrigues you then we encourage you to come visit. NOTICE: These pages in no way constitute an invitation to MOVE to Austin. DON'T MOVE HERE, but, please, feel free to visit.
