The Bandwidth Shindig set for August 17-20, 2006

SAN FRANCISCO, CA ­ What¹s a Shindig, you ask? It’s music. It’s new
gadgets. It’s a chance to see bands, and experience some of the latest
technologies. It will be panels on podcasting, promoting your band
digitally, and other timely topics. And it will be a huge music/technology
expo.

The event is set to kick off on August 17 with an evening that celebrates
music technologies of the past, such as 8-tracks, vinyl and music videos.
