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!

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

Chris Trew

Deadly Syndrome from Los Angeles as well.

Mon, 15 Jan 2007 13:21:51 -0600

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?

Mojo The Cinematic

Mon, 15 Jan 2007 01:09:12 -0600

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...

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

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!

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 19:08:51 -0600

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

paige

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 18:30:54 -0600

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!

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 17:08:55 -0600

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.

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

Dan

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 15:57:12 -0600

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.

John

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 15:24:58 -0600

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!

Jane

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 14:14:34 -0600

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.
