Pt. 1 (of 2) of a March 1989 documentary on the Austin, Texas music scene, which was hoping to grow into an industry; this is before the Web, CD ripping, peer-to-peer sharing networks and self-released bands; SXSW was only 2 years old at the time. Video features Poi Dog Pondering on the cusp of being signed to Columbia Records; also seen are Van Wilks, Kim Wilson & the Fabulous Thunderbbirds, Ray Benson, Duck Soup, and Ted Roddy & the Tall Tops.
Also seen are Ausin music veterans and business people, including Ernie Gammage, Max Nofziger, Joe James, Cleve Hattersley, Rick Blackburn, Shannon Vale, John Fannin, and Tom Harvey.
