If instrumental ambient music is your jam, the Casbah has what you're looking for with This Will Destroy You. Or perhaps you're looking for sleazy guitar-driven garage rock tonight, in which case the return of El Ten Eleven will slay you at the Belly Up. There's also an "All Access" show from Local Grooves, Local Brews where Catherine Beeks showcases the best of new acoustic and rock, Al Howard shakes down Seven Grand, and the Local Pyle hosts MaryJane's Underground at the Hard Rock. All of these options, of course, remind us that it doesn't have to suck missing South By Southwest.
