Larry Heath heads to Canadian Blast at SXSW and chats to Jen Lane, Buck 65, Jenn Grant & learns about Herzio.

With the music portion of SXSW officially kicking off today, so did the mountain of day parties to conquer: free food, free booze and a whole heap of amazing music. I first headed to the annual Canadian Blast BBQ in the park opposite the convention centre, fitting in a few interviews which you’ll see soon, with Buck 65 and others.
