Stompbox Exhibit in Austin During SXSW

The Deli Magazine and Delicious Audio are presenting the first edition of the Austin StompBox Exhibit during this year''s SXSW.

Austin, TX (February 15, 2013) -- After launching the "StompBox Exhibit" concept in 2011 - i.e. a compact display of guitar pedals which allows visitors to test and compare them in the headphones - and after the successes of the 2012 edition at Main Drag Music in Brooklyn - which saw 23 manufacturers and 5 sponsors involved - The Deli Magazine and Delicious Audio are presenting the first edition of the Austin StompBox Exhibit.

This free, interactive, in-the-headphones display of guitar pedals will coincide with the busiest days of the famous live music festival hosted by the Texan city every March. It's scheduled for Friday and Saturday March 15 and 16 in a room facing Austin's most frequented stroll: East 6th Street, in the middle of Austin's East Side (the city's "hipstery" neighborhood a few blocks East of downtown).

Remember that YouTube clip of the kid playing the classical shred piece in his bedroom that was/is ALL OVER the internet, wrong notes and all? The one you made fun of despite the fact that his video has been seen 40 million times and yours hasn''t -- yeah, that one. Here''s a piece about the kid and what he''s been up to.
