Each Spring, Austin (“The Live Music Capital of the World”) brings in musical talent from all over for its annual four-day music festival known as South-by-Southwest (SXSW). Of the 1400 people performing at dozens of venues throughout the city, some include bands from Osaka, Tokyo, Yokohama, Kagoshima, and other cities, who jam at Japan Nite, held at Elysium.
Here’s a video from SXSW 2008 with FLCL theme band The Pillows.
If you happen to be in Austin for SXSW next year, be sure to swing by for Japan Nite.
