What is the main purpose for the Ohio x Southwest showcase at SXSW?

Maybe not directly related to the topic at hand, but an issue I have with these bands "representing" Columbus is that, as far as I can tell, none of them currently are really trying to "make it" anywhere than in Columbus. If they want to expose people to the great Columbus sound, how about a showcase in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, New York? It'll be much cheaper. If these bands are hoping to score a record deal ... well ... I guess it could happen but the likelihood of that is rare. Lydia Loveless did have the chance to play in front of Bloodshot people and that helped her score a deal with them about a year after they saw her. But she made it clearly known that this is what her dreams are, making records, touring, etc. and even then the label watched her, gave her some things they wanted to see out of her before committing money, etc.

I'm not sure who said this cos I'm on mobile and it's too much work to go back in the thread and find It but I think it went something like this: "and none of those dudes (I'm assuming that means Cbus bands playing the WeAreOhio thing) have a cool enough haircut to even approach Gretchen from Phantods."

Well..that sounds suspiciously like virgin talk. Good luck with your hormones and all that.

Annnyway, the problem isn't the bands playing, it's that kind of pretty ok locally successful bands find the need to do something like We Are Ohio that is so obviously a bullshit endeavor in the first place. Who is telling them this is a good idea? And why don't they have more respect for themselves? They're better than this.

i think they should get Sally Struthers, the writer of the Twilight series and Billy Corgan... and reshoot their video.

these days I restrict my input on message boards to being super diplomatic/promotional…but if anyone is interested in my take on heading to SXSW to "make it"…send me a PM & I'd be happy to discuss

4000 more pizzas and at least 400 more cases of beer to go until I can comfortably approach 400 lbs and finally head down to SXSW and feel comfortable wearing a shirt that says "I AM OHIO". I have goalz.
