Texans,like many Americans, are always saying how much they don't like Washington DC. Well, that sentiment will likely be limited to politics after next week. Washington DC will be well represented in Texas during the SXSW music fest, particularly at the Digital Freedom Foundation's "DC Does Texas" showcase at Austin's Cream Vintage (Guadalupe Location) on March 13, 2008 from 12pm-7pm.

The band's more than ably representing the nation's capitol music scene include Georgie Smith (Saddle Creek ), who you may have caught recently on Conan, These United States, Jukebox the Ghost, Le Loup (Sub Pop), Middle Distance Runner, Pash (Exotic Fever), Exit Clov, and Samantha Murphy.

Hats off to DFF for putting together a sweet lineup. If you're in Austin, you'll want to stop in and see that good things actually can come from inside the beltway!
