The Chicago Reader tells us the Chicago scene was alive and well in Austin during last week’s SXSW Music Conference. I took the year off, but it’s pretty easy to tell by looking at the list of artists that Chicago was very well represented.

I’ll also agree with the writer that there does not seem to be a “Chicago sound” right now, but rather a bunch of sub-scenes that are making music fun throughout the city.
