TVD Austin SXSW Band Names: Categorical Fun!

It’s that time of year! Today will be a SXSW themed Friday starting with this comical post from TVD Austin. I enjoyed Jessi’s categorized list of bands so much that I had to share. Hope you like it too. -Steph

It’s baaaack: SXSW is upon us once again. The economy is (finally) on the up-and-up, folks have a few bucks to spare, and we all have some post-winter wiggles to get out which makes mid-March the most wonderful time of the year. Thankful for my new glasses, I finally had a chance to scour the (tiny font size of the) official list of SXSW 2011 Showcasing acts.

I must say that one of the best parts of the initial reveal is checking out the often bizarre, hilarious, super creative, and sometimes even downright nasty band names.

Organized according to the best themes I noticed, here are some of my faves:

Lions, Tigers, & Bears, Oh Shit!
