GET IN ON THE PARTY >>>

For those who feel that music has hit rock bottom, that it just can't get any worse -  well, there's always the South by Southwest South Music Conference in Austin, Texas, March 13-18, 2012. There's nothing like the thought of 2,000 musical acts from around the globe spread across 90 stages, all in a downtown area the same size as downtown Tacoma. It's a perfect anecdote to cure what ails you, the music biz's spring break, a time when you can shake off the winter blahs (not to mention that heavy coat) and think about nothing but music. 

Nikon and Warner Music are looking for a band to play the "Warner Sound Captured by Nikon" showcase on Wednesday, March 14 at SXSW. 

Bands just have to submit a video of an original performance or music video for their chance to get an all expenses paid trip to Austin.
