While many fans and bands made the trek to Austin for SXSW a good number also came for other music events in the area. Once of those events, the Texas Rockfest, was held in a couple parking lots on 7th street and several bars on 6th street, and drew their own crowds to check out bands from all over the U.S.. Hard rock, metal, punk, dub, emo, country, americana and idie bands all found a place to play and a willing crowd to play in front of.
Even though I was tasked to do SXSW photos I found it hard not to slip over and shoot a few of the Rockfest acts. Click on a photo below to check out a bands pics.
