ListenListen to the documentary
 
Members of  'indie conceptual art pop band'  The Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players present their inside guide to one of the biggest events in the music industry calendar - South By South West. 

 
"...you can get Mexican food and a tattoo..."
'The Texas Chequebook Massacre' features Franz Ferdinand, The Scissor Sisters, The Thrills,The Polyphonic Spree, Snow Patrol, Von Bondies and maybe, just maybe, some of the acts we'll all be listening into in 2005.
 
Yebo - Crunchy Frog Recordings
"Local families or couples or musicians sign up for allowing rock bands to come and stay with them during the South By South West week - absolutely free!"
 
"...they looked like they were a bit into Jesus but I'm sure they weren't...."
Junior Senior on their hosts
"They were really nice I must say. Young skinny guys with beards... not like grown-up men's beards...They looked like they were a bit into Jesus but I'm sure they weren't."

 
Joe and Steve - Athlete
"6th Street has got that Western hillbilly kind of feel to it. A few skyscrapers in the background but it feels very Southern and Texan that's for sure. Every place is Spanish looking, where you can get Mexican food and a tattoo."
