Hometown Heroes (cross-post)

[cassiacat]

I am starting a new music blog that will go from city to city, featuring good bands, labels, music mags, etc. from each town. It is called Hometown Heroes, and I would love it if you all added it as a friend, subscribed to the blog, and gave me feedback/ideas/suggestions/criticisms/etc. I want it to be vital and interesting, but a music blog is only as good as its music, so please everyone feel free to hit me back!

Since my hometown is Austin, I'm going to start here. All you Austinites, let me know who your favorite local bands are, or if you want your band to be featured, send me your info. These are the bands/mags/labels I have so far:

Bands:
Zykos

The Arm
Single Frame
Spoon
Explosions in the Sky
Sound Team
Trail of Dead
The Octupus Project
Okkervil River

Friday After Dark

After Austin, I'm probably doing Toronto, then maybe Philly. Please feel free to lob suggestions at me for either of those cities, if you feel so inclined.

Ok, thanks a lot everyone! Hope to see you at Hometown Heroes!
