Austin, TEXAS - Sure, there are more than 1,800 bands showcasing officially. Hundreds, if not thousands, more are playing unofficial gigs. But the truth about South By Southwest is that the gigs aren't really why people go to the festival. In the same way Cannes isn't all about the movies, SXSW isn't all about the music. It's all about the BBQ. TORONTO, March 15 /CNW/ - SIRIUS Canada, the country's leading audio entertainment company, today announced plans for its live broadcast from the South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival in Austin, Texas March 17-21.
For the fifth consecutive year, SIRIUS Canada will broadcast live from SXSW. Beginning Wednesday March 17th, through to Friday March 19th, SIRIUS' CBC Radio 3 channel 86 and French language Bande à Part channel 87 will air live concerts featuring Canadian artists, in-depth interviews and breaking news.

We're very thankful to have a lot of Canadian music fans out there who aren't Canadian doing my job for me. One is my fantastic intern Ro (see The Line of Best Fit's Oh Canada compilations) and another is Birmingham publicist and overall music nerd Tessa Burwood. By day she calls herself The Magpie's Nest, and through that name does a radio show through Rhubarb Radio in the midlands. On January 24th she dedicated an entire show to us, and it's brilliant. Featuring Dan Mangan, Hey Rosetta! & K'NAAN
