Our friends over at KUT have a great site up this year covering the festival so check out their coverage of all things South by Southwest.

Also, here are some pics and testimonials from year’s past:

“… that day party was by far the most enjoyable event of all of SXSW — you guys were so on it and we cannot thank you enough for treating us with such care. We would love the opportunity to perform again at homeslice next year – so please do keep us in the loop.”

All the best,

Chris Ward of Pattern is Movement

“…the whole process was delightful from beginning to end – you guys definitely threw MY fave party of the week & we couldn’t have asked for a better end note to our time in austin!

totally looking forward to seeing you guys next year! thanks for being such great hosts – and as a pizza addict myself, i gotta say having my two loves, rock n’ roll & pizza, together was like a dream come true. (srsly, i really love pizza. it’s kind of a problem! my friends have staged interventions! haha.)

anyway, thanks again sooooooo much! homeslice rocks!”

“Please believe me when I say that our afternoon at Homeslice was, far and away, my favorite few hours at SXSW in recent memory. You guys took such nice care of the Subs and I really enjoyed the event. (Good pies, too.) I really appreciate the hospitality. Makes all the difference.”

Darius Zelkha, Manager, The Submarines

“The highlight of the day, if not the whole festival, was our last performance at Home Slice Pizza. It was a super relaxed affair, a welcome change to the frenzy that was our two prior shows. So many people came out to see us, it really made our day. After we were done, we sold cds out of the back of our van like MC Hammer and then had all the free pizza we could eat. Best Damn Pizza in Austin.”
