Press Release For Immediate Release January 10, 2010
 Out of close to 50 OZ bands or solo artists who were invited to showcase at the world's largest, longest-running and most prestigious music festival and global industry conference, 36 Australian artists have accepted their invitations to rock out at South by Southwest Music Festival & Conferences in Austin, Texas March 17-21 2010.
Over 250 bands from Australia applied as did more than 10,000 from 49 countries, all vying for 1800 individual one-hour showcase slots at 88 venues in "The Live Music Capital of The World". More than 200 Australian delegates will also attend among 15,000 music industry professionals from around the world. It will be the largest number of artists and also music business pros in the US from Australia at any one time.
