Austinist's ACL Sleeper Picks: Pick Your Favorite for a Chance to Win Tickets

Here at Austinist, we were thrilled to be asked by ACL Fest organizers to pick a handful of sleeper picks from the Friday lineup. After all, you don't really need anyone to tell you to catch David Byrne or G. Love; you need someone to recommend a couple of names you might not know. And hey, if you already knew everyone playing on Friday, you're in the wrong line of work (give us a ring).

We combed through the Friday schedule and came up with a few bands we wanted to make sure you didn't miss just because it's still bright outside, or perhaps because you're one of those folks who doesn't bother showing up until sundown. Get your money's worth: show up early, watch some bands you've never heard of, and let us know what you think when all the dust literally and figuratively settles. Here's some added incentive: ACL is running a contest for the sleeper fans. Visit Austinist's Friday picks page and vote for your favorite. You will be entered in a contest to win tickets for you and three of your closest friends on Friday! Go vote, and let us know who you picked.

Stay tuned for more special ACL coverage from Austinist. In the meantime, don't forget about the Sound & the Jury Contest, which is now in round three, and students are being given one more chance for three day passes this Wednesday only.
