SXSW2011

[FoxeyLady]

That's awesome. I had them on my dopey little college radio show once to interview them back when nobody outside Boston/NY knew them. Had no idea they were in Japan and shit. Good for them. They still play with a live drummer and stuff?

and that song is nice^

[PJandBompton]

I'm 99% sure they do. A-Live and i have been working together to get a tour going out here with Kendrick Lamar and a few others, including Green St., still hoping to finalize that...

[Gribbz]

Strong possibility I'll be at SXSW this year. Anyone from Austin or plan on attending?

[daxton]

I just applied to volunteer the other day- for the film portion, though. Hope I get accepted!

[Gribbz]

Awesome. I haven't been to Austin in over a decade. Would love to check it out now that I'm of age.

[daxton]

Never been, even though I'm from a neighboring state. I can't wait to check TX out once I move back home (in a month).

[Gribbz]

Where's home?

[daxton]

Baton Rouge

[Gribbz]

So, are they done announcing bands? How does this work?

[TickleMeElmo]

They're never really done announcing bands if you count surprise gigs and all but I guess for the "official" list, they won't be done until the schedule comes out. There's still a lot to go.

[Sladokusac]

+ BRIGHT EYES

[Gribbz]

NOT HELPING.

Why can't this festival revolve around me and my awesome taste in music?

[daxton]

Nice nice. I'm bummed I won't be able to stay for the majority of the music portion of the fest if I get to go. I'll just have to take full advantage of the days shows during the week.

[Gribbz]

Turrible.

[daxton]

That's how my Nana says it.

[Gribbz]

Anyone who sounds like Charles Barkley is cool in my book.

Tell your Nana to come to SXSW. We'll party.

[daxton]

Will SXSW have any Evangelical Christian artists? Or Disney characters?

[heart cooks brain]

Aun't no party like my nana's tea party. Hey! Ho!

[Gribbz]

Will SXSW have any Evangelical Christians?

I'll convert.

[daxton]

She doesn't have any money, Matt.

[Gribbz]

Gasp.

Well, she is a Grandma.

A pie will suffice.

[daxton]

Cool. She makes awesome strawberry preserves too.

[bleep]

i noticed more bands in the preliminary SXSW schedules that have yet to be mentioned in this thread.

[TheScenestar]

I'm going! Who else is going?

[Birds vs Worms]

i noticed more bands in the preliminary SXSW schedules that have yet to be mentioned in this thread.
http://schedule.sxsw.com/?lsort=name...=music&day=ALL

whoa, saint vitus

rad

[daxton]

Haha. Did anyone see the Panel "Are Metalheads smart enough to be online?"

I'm still waiting to hear if I'll be volunteering. Should be any day now.

[bleep]

i'll be attending the tail end of this festival (3/18-3/20). if anyone is doing a showcase, be sure to list the details in this thread!

[TheScenestar]

I might do an official one but it's in the works. Don't want to spill the details until everything is final.
