Jumpstart might be the longest running “unofficial” SXSW party hosted by The Midgetmen, which has been rocking locals and visitors for 8 years running. If you missed it last year, these are the same rockers that brought the talk of South By 2014 Diarrhea Planet to town. This year, Jumpstart is returning to Austin on Friday, March 20th.

For now, they are just kicking things off and don’t have their official music lineup out, but they say we can expect Jumpstart 8 to be even bigger. They do however, have their venue locked down. The one and only SideBar. This should bring smiles to faces already! Read on for more details and link to the event site for the latest!

12 Noon Friday, March 20th @ SideBar, 602 East 7th St., Austin, TX

The party kicks off at noon and has a host of sponsors already, so it’s sure to be good – Austin locals will tell you Side Bar is one of the best places to drink in town anyways. Check back for updates to the lineup, we’ll keep our ears open for the latest. In the meantime, check out more details on their super awesome website.
