Seeking 90s Austin concert footage - especially Split Rail (SXSW 1996)
Hi! Hoping this reaches the right folks...
I'm an archival coordinator working on a documentary about the Austin (and greater TX) music scene in the 90s. Hoping to connect with anyone who is in possession of footage of Austin's live music scene in the mid-to-late 90s.
Currently seeking photos or video of the former Split Rail club (now Elysium at 705 Red River) particularly in and around SXSW 1996. Any media depicting shows, backstage, the venue's interior, crowds, lines outside, or just people hanging around before / after performances would be awesome. Anything that captures the atmosphere, really
If you filmed shows back then, have old tapes sitting around or know anyone who might, I'd absolutely love to chat
Appreciate any and all leads!
