apparently asthmatic kitty is having a showcase on the 15th. the acts are still tba but it could end up being pretty exciting.

Australian Cattle God Records will have a showcase at Red 7 on Sat the 17th featuring Gorch Fock, Tia Carrera, Attack Formation & The International Playboys.

pompeii and this will destroy you are confirmed.

No Strawfoot?! I hope this is a VERY partial list.

Cold War Kids (who are already committed) are playing with Tokyo Police Club and Elvis Perkins on Wed. Mar 14th in Dallas. Have to imagine they'll all be at SXSW (not just CWK).

Hey, Sarah...The Politics? Are you talking about DAT Politics at Mohawk (amoda digital showcase)? THAT show was sooooo awesome. The crowd loved them and I think more of Austin deserves to feel their groove. If DAT Politics comes to SxSW I will be there!

Dave Rybka all the way from England will be appearing , doing an acoustic set

which i look forward too-here is the myspace site

hear this www.myspace.com/rybkaroll

Playing @ sxsw this year from England

Some NYC based bands making it out there: the dansettes, coydogs, imaginary icons, black hollies, spider bags... also, there will be a norton records showcase featuring mary weiss (shangri la's), reigning sound, a-bones, etc.

I recently saw a local band called The Politics at The Mohawk. They were fantastic, I want them to play at SXSW!! Please!!

can you buy tickets there, not ahead of time? if so any idea how much?

the golden dogs from Canada on the 14th - who are the new Arcade Fire...

These Arms Are Snakes have just confirmed to play on the 15th.

not offical sxsw stuff, but Bomb the Music Industry, O' Pioneers!!!, Scouts Honor, Jonah Matranga and lots more up on north loop for free shows. not letting some money hungry entity ruin our day shows!

Aqualung's myspace page says they'll be there, too.

Mastadon (with I believe Riverboat Gamblers) will be playing Saturday. agree with the comments about the day parties- i've been to 9 or 10 sxsw's and the day parties are what make sxsw a "must" vs a "maybe". hope the sxsw folks understand how this ecosystem benefits their attendance

Deadly Syndrome from Los Angeles as well.

Do you need to register for sxsw or is it possible to buy individual concert tickets only for those shows you are interested in seeing? For those that have attended in the past what do you recommend?

Just wanted to mention that my band Dujeous (live NYC hip-hop) will be performing at SXSW as well. It'll be our 1st time in Austin, so you know we're hyped. See y'all there...

I can't wait to see Bloc Party and the Walkmen!

How old are you, then? Fourteen?

Add Love in October to the list

PHONOGRAPH are playing I heard.... I saw them in Magnet mag.. MySpace Page

I can't wait to see Bloc Party and the Walkmen!

dusty rhodes and the river band are coming as well.

official !!! tourdates leave a nice gap for sxsw

st. vincent.

I have also heard through the grapevine here in Seattle that Ice Age Cobra is set to attend.

Bloody Hollies, Trainwreck Riders and Buffalo Killers are coming as well.

If Austin makes you crazy during sxsw, travel North to Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas for The Valley of the Vapors Independent Music Festival. Same dates as Austin

Oops!! The "The" threw me

Protokoll are coming too,

FYI Mark, can't you read The Young Knives are on the list above.

I'm coming over from the UK and the latest from this side of the water to add to the list are The Young Knives and the fantastic Pop Levi.

Can any of you Austinites tell me about a band local to you that i discovered on MySpace,they're called Shapes Have Fangs and i desperately hope to see them while i'm over there,they're bloody great!

jambase shows a moe. show on Friday at the Fox & Hound.

I was just over at the Broken West's page and they are apparently coming too.

There were well over 1,000 bands last year, so this is (at most) a sixth of what will be on offer.

Does anyone know what the total number of bands was last year? It's over 500, right?

Imagine all the venues in town having something going on each day that week, then assume that at least three bands are on each bill. We can even be conservative and assume there are only twenty venues in town. That would be over 400 bands, and that's not counting parties that might include other acts not on the SXSW list but enjoying the high volume of crowds, and lucky enough to get a show in Austin that week. I'd guess it's fair to say that at the end of the day, the list will be over or around 500 ...

Point being: there's not a whole lot here (local aside) that I'd crap my pants over seeing, but I do eagerly await the next round of reveals.

I assume you're going to hook us up Tom!

WTF!?!? no CLAP!CLAP! . if any austin band deserves gettin a shot i think they should.their live shows are so much fun.i know theres still time before we find out who all the bands on the bill will be but i hope they make it.if you havent seen them yet i recommend that you do.youll have a good time.

Add Blonde Redhead. The Pitchfork said so!

oh and Kasabian too!

Day parties are the best part! Why do those people always rain on my parade!?

I wish I knew why they think the day parties hurt them when their attendance goes up every year. And it can't possibly get much bigger anyway, with every possible space in town booking day shows last year. At least I hope it doesn't get any bigger - my fingers hurt from all that typing.

Yay for Ghostland Observatory -- their show at Hogg Auditorium on Jan 19th w/The Black Angels is completely sold out as of yesterday, AND they get to play some spotlight shows at SXSW. And yay for local bands getting to play prestigious gigs in general!

I also hear the following bands are coming to SXSW.

Little Man Tate, The Cinematics, ¡Forward, Russia!, Jeremy Warmsley, iLOVETRAINS, The Pigeon Detectives, The Wombats, Battle and Yes Boss.

Thats from talking to bands coming through Boston.

oh, zach.

No Riverboat Gamblers? WTF?

This blows. And why the hell is Morrissey here AGAIN???

Very. But why in the world would you cut down on Day Parties? Greedy Bastards.

i am excited!

Zach Gailiafaianiakias? Oh yes, it is on and popping.

very, very nice
