SXSW 2007 Band Update: 340 Strong And Counting

Another week has passed, and somehow there's a full Coachella lineup available but still no official word from SXSW. The Austin Chronicle did report that the powers that be intend to issue an official list sometime next week, so in the interim, we bring you round three of our unofficial but quite accurate SXSW 2007 band list. Interesting additions this week include Sloan, The Pipettes, Apples In Stereo, The Rosebuds, Beach House, Robyn Hitchcock, and the surprising chance of a Meat Puppets reunion gig. Many thanks to our readers for submitting links to some of these confirmations.

man, I hope this is a really incomplete listing of bands. I'm not seeing any bands from the goth/country genre...where's Munly? Where's American Sinner? Where's Strawfoot? O'Death? where's Woven Hand??

r

razorlight playing NME showcase on 3/14

The J Train

I interviewed Leigh Watson of the Watson Twins last week, and she said they were not allowed to release any info about their appearance. (She also didn't know when they were going to lift the embargo.)

Tom

An official mailing I got today also lists:

Jamie T

Amy Winehouse

Mastodon

Forward Russia

Louis XIV

Reigning Sound

Charlie Louvin

Chingo Bling

Tiny Masters Of Today

Allison

So that's 10 more confirmed.

jami

oh yeah, and vermillion lies and the wiyos.

jami

I'd really like to see the Denver Gentlemen, Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots, Curtis Eller, Strawfoot, the Gloomadeers, and Those Poor Bastards make an appearance...but that's just me.

steven

wow...just austin bands, or any of the bands, I wonder...?

Tom

Evil Robot, what's the source for that (quite interesting) bit of info?

The Evil Robot

LOCAL BANDS MUZZLED:

Austin, TX area bands & musicians who have been offered a Showcase Time, Date, and Venus for SXS@-2007 have been informed that the offer will be rescinded if they pre-announce their showcase prior to SXSW's official announcement.

I got an email from strawfoot's singer that said if they do go to sxsw, they'll be stopping off in Denton (my town), Dallas, and maybe even Houston on the way, so I really hope they do come. They only seem to tour the midwest, usually, so it would be cool to get them down here.

Brian

I heard strawfoot WOULD be there, but their website has no mention of it...guess we'll have to keep our fingers crossed...could be as mythical a rumor as ben kweller filling in for a nirvana reunion.

Andrew Hime

65daysofstatic? *spooge*

randy

meat puppets...sweet...I'm still holding out for strawfoot and/or humanwine...

randy

meat puppets, eh? how cool could that be? Still waiting to see Strawfoot, Slim Cessna, Woven Hand and/or Humanwine in the lineup before I book a flight, though.
