SXSW 2012 Music Panels Announced

The ultra-hip South by Southwest Festival in Austin, TX has unveiled its list o' panels for the 2012 dealio, with great opportunities to connect and schmooze with the music industry's finest. Granted, they'll all be hung over from last night's party, but hey -- good times. The SXSW Music panels named so far include great titles like "Hometown to National: How to Grow Your Band," "Set Your Content Free (It's Harder Than You Think)" and "In the iCloud Era Who Can You Trust to Find Music?" Personally I vote for Spacelab to help you find new music, but I'm kind of biased that way. Check out a full SXSW 2012 music panel lineup.

I particularly like the panel named "Cover Songs to Karaoke: Alternate Revenue Streams," because that's every rock kids, fantasy, right? I hear so many musicians say that they got into music so they could "tap multiple revenue streams." Still, music these days is all about working your music out through as many possible channels as you can. You don't want to live off Ramen and beer forever do you? Or do you? Hmmm ...

The SXSW Music panels happen during the dates of Mar. 14-17, as an extension of the SXSW Music Festival, which is of course an extension of the whole SXSW beast that includes SXSW Interactive and SXSW Film.
