This week's MusiCast is your comprehensive guide to Gainesville. First, we go over some news from last week's SXSW Music and Media Conference. Then, we take a look at the week ahead in Gainesville music, recommending bands like 500 Miles to Memphis (Tuesday @ Atlantic), GreyMarket (Friday @ Backstage), and 100 Monkeys (Sunday @ 1982). We also fill you in on the "Total Bummer" Fest and the Feathers Music Conference going down this weekend right here in town. Finally, we bring you a MusiCast "Festival Watch" in anticipation of the summer wave of music festivals.
