Austin Free Week : Superpop!'s picks

Almost every year I look forward to Austin Free Week. For me personally, it's the best birthday present for a local music fan (my birthday is Jan 6th). I'm unable to attend most of AFW because I'll be spending time out of Texas with my family for a belated Christmas and birthday gathering. Even though I cannot join my fellow local music fanatics this year, I thought I would share some of my picks and recommendations.

Do512 provides a convenient link for upcoming AFW events right here.
