So Many Bands!

Anyone who has been to SXSW before knows that you can easily suffer from band scheduling overload. Looking at today's schedule, there are a virtually uncountable number of bands, and that doesn't even include all of the day time showcases and unlisted events. What to do?

Austinist is here for you.

Every day for the rest of the week, we'll try to filter the day's choices down to a few hot picks. These aren't secret shows or the hot indie tip -- we're just going to list the bands that we want to see. All of these shows, unless otherwise noted, require a SXSW badge or wristband.

TONIGHT:

10PM
Mike Doughty (from Soul Coughing) at Buffalo Billiards.

11PM
The Thermals at Emo's
Enon at The Parish
The Donnas at Stubb's BBQ

12PM
Album Leaf at Emo's
Asobi Seksu at The Velvet Spade

1AM
Sleater-Kinney at Emo's

Clif at Cuddlefish has the run-down on all the afternoon chill-out. My two part series of recommendations are here and here. For tonight, I would suggest trying to cram into the Fox and Hound (Damnations, Derailers, Bottle Rockets... I know, the place sucks) and maybe trying to catch Billy Idol from outside the Stubb's fence at 1 am.
