About Me


The 9th Annual Heart of Texas Quadruple Bypass Music Festival a.k.a. The Texas Rockfest is proud to announce that Guitar Hero III is joining the family. What does this mean you ask? How about a fully interactive three day experience complete with cutting edge live music on three outdoor stages, The Spill on Sixth stage, two satellite stages at Merkaba Lounge and the new Rock City Icehouse, multiple Guitar Hero competition kiosks, refreshment pavillions spinning with world class DJ's and dancing the night away, big screens, mind blowing lights, truly unbelievable prizes and giveaways all in the heart of Austin's Sixth Street Entertainment District. How much would you pay for a wristband or badge to attend such an event? Really? Well save your beer money. It's absolutely FREE to the public. No badges, no wristbands, no joke.Texas Rockfest, features the best in unsigned talent that Austin and the surrounding southwest region have to offer, as well as some of the best indie artists from across America and beyond.Launched in March 2000, the first Heart of Texas Quadruple Bypass Music Festival began humbly with one venue and sixteen bands in downtown Austin. Now in its 9th year, the 2008 Texas Rock Fest will boast over 130 indie acts in the heart of the Austin 6th Street entertainment district.Motivated by the desire to support and promote the best yet-to-be discovered talent rising from the burgeoning Texas music scene, the event is strategically scheduled to coincide with Austin's annual South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Media, Film and Music Festival. Over 20,000 entertainment professionals are expected to attend the ten days of interactive multi-media, film, music events, conferences, and trade shows in Austin. The 9th annual Heart of Texas Quadruple Bypass provides another good reason for music industry executives and cutting edge indie bands to come to Austin in March.
