(Press Release) Over 420 Australian and New Zealand artists applied for the crucial showcase side of SxSW, of which 54 were invited. There are currently 23 Australian artists showcasing (several had to drop out due to recording or touring commitments, personal reasons or funding shortfalls), and there are 10 New Zealand bands also playing.

The 34 bands playing in 2006 is an almost eightfold increase from the five that appeared in 2002. The 200+ OZ & NZ registrants in addition to artists will be over eight times the 25 attending in 2002.
