Austin Sound, if you haven't checked it out already, is a great site featuring information about local music. This Saturday, they're pulling out all the stops to celebrate their one year anniversary, and throwing a mini-ACL that's much, much cheaper. With 13 bands playing, there's bound to be someone to rock your picky ass. Also: free food and FREE BEER for five bucks! We know, it doesn't make sense to us either, but it sounds like a helluva deal. Get there at 3pm when the festivities kick off, and stay for DJ sets from local music bloggers like Covert Curiosity, Party Ends, Side One: Track One, Cubik Musik, and the Austinist (including our beloved Music Section Editor Paige "Drop Shadow" Maguire). Come out and show your support for some folks that help keep momentum behind Austin's scene.
