That's It?

K, so some of these local acts that have now learned--now that the first official SXSW band list has been released--that they'll be heading to Austin come March. But I think you'll agree with me that there are several worthy bands missing from this list of locals. Hopefully that will be remedied before the schedule is finalized.

Bavu Blakes (Garland)
Bosque Brown (Fort Worth)
Bowling for Soup (Denton)
Doyle Bramhall (Dallas)
