the waiting room previews the brits at sxsw

With so many Brits invading SXSW, we thought we'd call on a few our own, 1/2 of Drunk Country & The Woman Of The House of THE WAITING ROOM to preview some the U.K. contingent's best. So, they've concocted two 2-hour specials to do just that, airing this Wednesday & Thursday night at 7p EDT / 6p CDT. By the way, it just might get silly.

win tickets to big ears 2010!

Even though right now it seems like the only thing going on in the music world is the upcoming SXSW festival, we assure you, there is more. And the “more” I write about in this case is the upcoming Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, Tennessee. It takes place the weekend after SXSW, and looks to be one of the best lineups I have seen for a small festival announced this year.

A quick look at the lineup and you too will agree that this is like a who’s who of hot upcoming artists right now. And on top of that, you get to see them in a couple of amazing old theaters and not out in the desert at Coachella or in the hot summer heat among thousands at other festivals.

Still not sure? Here are just some of the artists on the bill. Joanna Newsom, St. Vincent, The National, Dirty Projectors, Vampire Weekend, The XX, jj, Clogs (feat. Sufjan Stevens and members of The National), My Brightest Diamond, Gang Gang Dance and more. Seriously, there is more. So toss out any ideas you might have about festivals as a whole, and what you might know or not know about Knoxville, Tennessee and jump on board for this years Big Ears festival. This is the year it goes from being a big secret to one of the most talked about festivals around.

Also this year, WOXY is a proud media partner of the Big Ears festival and wants you to go and check out the whole thing. Thats right, we have an Inner Ear Pass (which gives you priority access to all Big Ears Festival events…including all concerts as well as talks, workshops, receptions, and other special events) which is a 250$ value to give away.
