Darlingside needs your help! We’re finalists in PickTheBand’s competition for a special showcase slot at Austin’s South by Southwest Music Festival during our March Tour (not to mention $10,000 in Sennheiser recording gear). This SXSW showcase would give us an enormous boost in exposure to new fans and industry professionals.  Voters will also be entered for a chance to win 4 tickets to the four-day festival, plus flights and hotel lodging.  Leave a comment here or on our facebook page letting us know that you voted, and we’ll respond to each post with an expression of our undying gratitude.
