SXSW - perhaps the world's biggest music showcase event - is now underway in Austin, Texas, and Clashmusic.com will be there every step of the way.

Launched with an explosive free show by Van Morrison, the event promises the best musical talent the world has to offer, centred on a few square miles in Austin, Texas. Clash Magazine, that profound oracle of musical truth, will be organising an exciting showcase event, featuring Carbon / Silicon, The Pigeon Detectives, Make Model, Noah and the Whale as well as Peggy Sue And The Pirates.

Taking place at Friends, a music venue in Austin, the showcase will have to try hard to beat last year's event - headed up by Jack Penate, The Holloways and The Rumble Strips. However, we at Clashmusic.com have no doubts that our tried and tested team will pull out all the stops.

Follow the action daily on Clashmusic.com with exclusive artist blogs and a series of reports from the front line of musical fortitude.
