Austin Metal Madmen The Sword's Insider's Guide to SXSW
SXSW will soon descend upon the trendy but laid-back college town of Austin, TX, the state's capital, bringing with it a massive mix of musicians, industry folk and ravenous music fans.
To survive in the SXSW clusterf-ck, you need the help of a local. That's why Fuse spoke with Bryan Richie, bassist for the Austin-bred stoner metal outfit the Sword. As someone who's lived there since he was three months old, Richie gave us the expert lowdown on everything from late night eats, BYOB bars and how to get around during the insanely congested traffic. But be warned: There's no way around waiting in those lines unless you're in the band.
