Thursday, March 17 entire street dropped into a collective dance. Not just the drunk ones. Not just the music crazed urchins, but everyone. It was fucking amazing. We have never seen that happen so quickly. It's always amazing seeing all walks of people join together in one single groove, be it in 13, or in 7 or just a straight up funky 4. You could say it was the alcohol or our multi- nippled Flag Team but whatever it was the rest of the world should come to SXSW. Well... except for the police horse that nuzzled our tuba player. – Extra Action Marching Band SXSW 2011 LURED MORE THAN FIFTY AUSTRALIAN ACTS INTO AUSTIN THIS YEAR, hungry for valu- able showcasing and networking opportunities. The Aussie BBQ held at Maggie Mae's, saw over 5,000 punters over the course of the day (and smashed SXSW records for party attendance). Using three stages, over fourteen hours, and showcasing 35 Australian acts, SOUNDS AUSTRALIA and Stage Mothers were thrilled with the turnout. SOUNDS AUSTRALIA also played host this year to sev- eral successful networking events, bringing industry together and building relationships integral to moving artists forward with their careers and creative endeavors.
