What To Do At SXSW, According To The Bands

Sure, you can read a lovely travel guide about all the excellent restaurants and elegant, ranch-style B&Bs in Austin. Or you could head down there, guitar strapped to your back, and see where the wind takes you. If the latter is a bit more of your speed, we've asked some of our favorite bands playing SXSW (or, who are currently on tour) to tell us where they pass through when they head down to the Texan capital. We've got some good bets, including cheap eats, record shops, and even a place to go swimming for all of those who are traveling to Austin for South By Southwest. Just in case you need a break from all that thrashin', that is.
