The week after SXSW is tough. Everyone is behind on their work and buried in email and errands, all of the out-of-town visitors have headed back to cold climes, and nobody has it in them to head out for a show just yet. To combat the post-SX gloom, we've compiled a list of major concerts coming to Austin in the next 90 days. This is by no means comprehensive (check Showlist Austin for that), but merely a warning about great upcoming events that will likely sell out - indeed, two already have. So peruse the list, hit the appropriate ticket outlet (or Craigslist for Feist or The Cure), and get ready to continue to rock.

(Note: To purchase tickets, simply click the link for the date of the show.)

Colin Meloy @ La Zona Rosa (April 7): Decemberists head honcho Meloy returns after a number of 2007 full-band gigs to display his solo chops, which are also featured on new release Colin Meloy Sings Live! ($23)

Feist @ Stubb's (April 15, SOLD OUT): The suddenly ubiquitous Feist finally stops in Austin to support 2007 album The Reminder, which has spawned creative music videos, sold lots of iPods, and soundtracked every coffeehouse in America of late.

Son Volt @ Antone's (April 17): Jay Farrar and his newest version of Son Volt appear in the intimate confines of Antone's, which should be a treat for fans of Uncle Tupelo, Trace, and alt.country in general. Have a drink to the recent passing of the genre's voice, No Depression, while you're there. ($23.50)

Cat Power @ Stubb's (April 20): Buying a Cat Power ticket is like placing a $30 wager: you could see the best show of the year, or you could end up watching multiple do-overs, restarts, and complaining. Chan Marshall's voice and talent are unquestionable, but her live shows define unpredictable. Yet we'll be there, just in case the bet pays off. ($30.50)

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks @ La Zona Rosa (April 20): Malkmus is known for Pavement classics like "Cut Your Hair" and "Summer Babe", but his newest record finds him collaborating with The Jicks (among them, Sleater-Kinney's Janet Weiss) on an album with songs longer than a Best Of Yes compilation. If you like lo-fi indie and jamming out, this is your show. ($20)

The Raconteurs @ Stubb's (May 2-3): Surprise! The Raconteurs unexpectedly jumped back into the rock scene this week by announcing a new album - out next week! - and an upcoming tour. The Jack White and Brendan Benson led-foursome will drop in for two nights at Stubb's (perhaps as a favor to C3, who were dealt the crushing blow of an 11th hour White Stripes cancellation at 2007's ACL Fest) in early May. This one will be loud and fun, with lots of guitar histrionics. ($43)

Wilco @ Stubb's (May 11-12): Always an Austin favorite, Chicago's great rock hope returns after a featured slot at ACL 2007. The band are still touring behind last year's Sky Blue Sky, which received a somewhat tepid critical response. That said, everyone is raving about the manic guitar energy that Nels Cline has brought to the touring band, so these two nights should find the band stretching out and playing a lot of catalog favorites. ($41.50)

The Cure @ Austin Music Hall (June 8, SOLD OUT): We're a bit surprised that The Cure are playing such a small venue, and apparently so was the rest of Austin: the show sold out almost immediately. Robert Smith will be previewing tunes from a forthcoming double album due this summer, but we're sure he'll throw in some classics as well. Let's just hope that the dodgy acoustics in the new AMH have been worked out by then.

Rilo Kiley @ Stubb's (June 16): Everyone's favorite band composed of former child actors are touring 2007's Under The Blacklight, whose singles sound like a lot of Fleetwood Mac was being played on the tour bus. Jenny Lewis singing these mellow tunes in scorching, beer-drinking weather sounds fun to us. ($30.50)
