Welcome Back!

Greetings, friends! And welcome back to See You in the Pit, an MP3 blog exclusively featuring artists who will be playing the SXSW Music Festival, because the best way to learn about music is to hear it, with your hosts, Queen of the Front Row, Little Miss Rock'n'Roll, and Last Girl at the Party.

If you're not familiar with SYITP, let me start at the beginning: we'll be posting about all of the artists we're excited about at this year's SXSW Music Fest, with old favorites and up-and-comers alike. It all culminates in mid-March right when the festival starts, and we'll be offering up a SYITP-approved showcase schedule, just like last year.

Your hostesses here at See You in the Pit love music, the internet, and also like sharing their love of both a whole lot. It's been said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture, so we are going to do our best to shake it to some flying buttresses, aluminum siding, and turrets and towers for the next month or so. We've scoured endless MP3blogs, Pitchfork opinions, NME write-ups, and zine reviews, and waded through countless label web sites, promo CDs, and opening bands to bring you what we consider to be the highlights of the festival.

A few notes: We are not affiliated with SXSW, any record label/bands/musicians, iTunes, Amazon, any secret government agencies, or your parents. Posts, comments, songs, and angry letters of indignation belong to those who wrote them in the first place.

MP3s for sampling purposes only and will be available only for a limited period of time. Please support the music makers; without them, SYITP does not exist. Information wants to be free, but musicians gotta eat.

Welcome back! We can't wait to rock the fuck out with you.

What This Is
See You in the Pit is an MP3 blog exclusively featuring artists who will be playing the SXSW Music Festival, because the best way to learn about music is to hear it. This weblog will self destruct on March 22nd. You have been warned.

Queen of the Front Row is a twenty-something music fan in New York City who spends more time looking for new bands than she'd care to admit. She can usually be found watching live music in divey clubs on the Lower East Side. She loves that everybody she knows from NYC ends up in Austin for SXSW.

Little Miss Rock'n'Roll is very pissed off that the management of Emo's has repainted the ladies' loo red, masking that gloriously nasty pink paint and all that graffiti. It looks like a circle of hell now. Anyway, she'd like you to know that she's lived in Austin for nearly 12 years now and still knows all the secrets about you and that local musician you think you'd like to date.

Last Girl to the Party is always the last girl to the party...usually because she's fretting about what to wear. She has lived in Austin for 9 years, knows which bars maintain supplies of Campari and Pernod and which serve Stella Artois in those annoying goblets. She'd also like you to know that she has more shoes than Queen of the Front Row and Little Miss Rock'n'Roll combined.
