Over 1,500 bands will flock to Austin, TX this March for the SXSW music conference. Wondering where all of these groups come from? LW developer Jeff Palm put together this hometown map of all the groups playing this year.

Very cool, but New Zealand/AUS looks to be missing at the moment.

I'm sure you've noticed this, but there are a few places' flags that don't match up with where they actually are. South African cities are in the middle of the Atlantic as is Orange County. Oslo's flag is near the Persian Gulf.
Very cool and helpful otherwise.

While is great for most places, it leaves some out, that's what was used. As for Orange Country being in the middle of the ocean, we left an OC person in charge of placing their hometown, and told 'em the Atlantic was the universe.
