Fresno Famous

If there was some way to place money on such things we'd bet this year's SXSW Festival has a record amount of Fresno bands playing ... Alright, well, maybe not a record amount. But plenty. Plenty ... There's four. Four bands.

Here is a little list of the bands (we're aware of) making the trek to Austin this year:

• Fierce Creatures.
• Motel Drive.
• Strange Vine.
• Shiver Fox.

Fay Wrays had plans to go but lost them somewhere.

Stumble around the Austin area long enough and you'll probably hear some Fresno music coming from somewhere. Shat! Wish we could be there. Guess we'll just try to combine some tequila with our F.U.S.E. Fest and Fresno Film Festival experiences plus our upcoming Rogue experience, to get a general feel of it.

All the bands could use help with gas money and what not, of course. Fierce Creatures have a whole thing setup as a way to help them out in a rewarding way. And we noticed Strange Vine showed up on a SXSW flier:

Good luck to all bands. We know they'll rersent Fresno's sound well!
