Westword Music Showcase: We're here, are you?

It's 2:27. Do you know where your favorite band is? Chances are they're here, in the Golden Triangle, blowing the doors back of the boozed up and sun-drenched crowds that are bouncing from venue to venue, bar to bar, soaking up a shit-ton of local music. Chain Gang of 1974...

It's 2:27. Do you know where your favorite band is? Chances are they're here, in the Golden Triangle, blowing the doors back of the boozed up and sun-drenched crowds that are bouncing from venue to venue, bar to bar, soaking up a shit-ton of local music. Chain Gang of 1974 (pictured) kicked off the day on the main stage, at 12th and Acoma, and the party continues through Built to Spill later tonight. So get your ass down here.

If you can't -- and seriously, you really should -- you can see pictures after the jump, get some highlights on Twitter, and check back tomorrow and Monday for more photos, reviews, and other rehashing of what's shaping up to be a kick-ass day.
