Best Music Television

Hotel Free TV

Unveiled last October, Hotel Vegas' Hotel Free TV kickstarted an ongoing virtual series of local music residencies awash with classic public access accoutrements. Whether it's a grouping of Sweet Spirit with Jackie Venson and Fat Tony, an advice call-in hour with Lord Friday the 13th, p1nkstar's absolutely stacked Girls Like Us showcase, or the countless raffles and telethons that took place in between, HFTV fulfills a need in today's Austin music community and has a hell of a time doing so. The rest of the world got a taste of Vegas charm in March as the crew were responsible for the production behind this year's six-artist SXSW Online bill.
