Well in case you aren't willing or able to make it down to Austin for SXSW this year, it turns out you'll have a chance to see an impressive number of great SXSW bands in Denton at one of the many house show hotspots that have decided to team up together to put on HXHF, or House by House Fest. Take a look at these impressive line ups, many of which will appear before SXSW actually begins, and then ask yourself why you weren't cool enough to think of this:

Box Elders/The Weakends/Frustrations/Bass Drum Of Death/Outer Spacists

The houses ask that you please donate $5 per show. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. We'll have more on this soon, but something tells me you better get to that Panhandle show pretty damn early....
