MN Bands @ SxSW 2006

As mentioned in my previous post, the SxSW 2006 schedule is up. I thought I'd give you a run-down of the Minnesota artists represented. This turned out to be way bigger of an undertaking than expected... so, sorry about the monster post! What cha' all think of the representatives? My two favorite bands (Hockey Night, Tapes 'n Tapes) made it...

I could go on and on, but instead, without any further a-do, here's who's playing:
