How can you get involved?

First of all, come attend Jumpstart. Discover great bands. And enjoy the best in independent music. But without the contributions of others, Jumpstart wouldn't be possible.

So, please possibly consider extending more than a fist pump for your favorite band. 

 
 

Attend

Look how excited people are! Pack your bags and get your beer coozies ready. We can't wait to see you. Jumpstart is yet again going to feature an amazing line up on two stages at the legendary Side Bar. Don't forget to bring your rock-fist. 

Sponsor

Jumpstart is an excellent marketing opportunity local and national brands looking to increase their visibility during SXSW and beyond. Make an impression while you support independent artists. Plus, hang out with us all day.

We know SXSW is expensive —and we love that so many travel to Austin to enjoy our sunshine, beer, and tacos. But, unlike the rest of your decisions during SXSW, you'll still feel good about this one in the morning. Beer, it smells good.


 
THOUGH THEY WILL TELL YOU OTHERWISE, THE MIDGETMEN (ONCE REFERRED TO AS AUSTIN’S “SLOP PUNK MAVENS”) CARE ABOUT YOU AND ABOUT THE SOUNDS THAT GO INTO YOUR EAR HOLES. IF PAST EXPERIENCE IS ANY INDICATION, THIS WILL BE THE BEST SHOW, FROM BEGINNING TO END, AT SXSW 2013
