ACL Official Aftershow Roundup & Massive Giveaway Chance

Once again, ACL has presented a veritable smorgasbord of shows outside the actual Zilker Park festival schedule, at venues including La Zona Rosa, Emo's, Antone's, The Parish, and (duh) Stubb's. The aftershows are intended as a showcase for artists who may be missed or overlooked during the glutted day schedule, and present another opportunity for fans to see a favorite artist without the usual festival distractions.

Throughout the weekend we'll be treated to performances by luminaries like David Byrne, Conor Oberst and the Butthole Surfers, as well as sets from future luminaries like locally-based favorites Okkervil River and Bill Callahan, as well as Oscar-winners Swell Season, Swede-folk star Jose Gonzalez and the soul-stylings of the irresistible Gnarls Barkley and Jamie Lidell.

Below the cut you'll find everything you need to know about the after shows, and if you want to buy tickets, just click here. We've included extra info on a few premiere and up-and-coming Austin acts that promise to show us a good time, and we're giving away tickets to a selection of after shows, so follow the jump for your chance to win! And don't forget: everything kicks off Thursday night at Emo's (9 p.m.) with Mates of State, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Bobby Bare Jr. and more!

Winners will be notified on Thursday afternoon.

Now without further ado, a guide to ACL aftershowzen:

Antone's
Saturday 09/27
Jakob Dylan and the Golden Mountain Boys w/Back Door Slam (10:30pm)

Emo's
Friday 09/26
Drive By Truckers w/Shooter Jennings (outside, 10:30pm)
Heartless Bastards w/Dead Confederate & Wax Fang (inside, 10:30pm)
Car Stereo Wars (lounge, 11pm)
We've been enjoying CSW's DJ sets at places like Beauty Bar for a minute now, and with three nights at Emo's Lounge, he'll definitely be bringing his A-game. Better bring your dancing shoes.

Saturday 09/27 Okkervil River w/Man Man & Crooked Fingers (outside, 10:30pm) Lit-rockers Okkervil River have only just begun reaping the rewards of their longtime reputation as critic's darlings, earning top slots at festivals worldwide and moving serious units (Okkervil's last two albums made appearances in the Billboard Top 100). This show will no doubt lean heavily on material from latest LP The Stand-Ins, and so much the better. Jose Gonzalez w/Neva Dinova & McCarthy Trenching (inside, 10:30pm) Car Stereo Wars (lounge, 11pm)

David Byrne - Songs of David Byrne & Brian Eno (8:30pm)

Saturday 09/27
The Swell Season w/Bill Callahan (8:30pm)
Although born in Maryland, Bill Callahan has called Texas home for a few years now and fits the city like a glove. A deadpan troubadour with a blackly comic worldview, Callahan's tunes work both as experimental rock records with Jim O'Rourke or as stripped-down acoustic solo sets. This performance promises the latter.

The Parish
Friday 09/26
Jamie Lidell w/Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears (11pm)
Black Joe Lewis has been getting his Ike Turner on with regular R&B-fueled blues explosions around town for a few years now. His pairing with Jamie Lidell is an inspired one: Lidell's latter-day digital soul should contrast nicely with Lewis' grittier, decidedly analog style.

Stubb's
Thursday 09/25
An Evening with Manu Chao (outside, 8pm)
Friday 09/26
Gnarls Barkley w/CSS (outside, 9pm)

Saturday 09/27
A Very Special Gospel Brunch with Mike Farris (inside, 11:30am)
Return of the Butthole Surfers w/The Kill & The Fuckemos (outside, 8pm)
History has been kind indeed to the band whose name was anathema to regional radio programmers for the first ten years of its existence. Hell, Gibby Haynes was celebrated on Fox News earlier this month. Who knows what Haynes & Co. have in store for this show, but something tells us the show will lean on older psych-skronk jams like "Graveyard." Lord knows we don't need to hear "Pepper" again.

Mugison (inside, 11:30pm)

Sunday 09/28
The Black Keys w/The Black Angels & Jessica Lee Mayfield (outside, 7:30)
The Black Angels' love of Vietnam-era psych-rock synergized remarkably with that other overseas conflict that's been in the news for the last six years, resulting in an oddly relevant retro-rock style. But make no mistake: the sound of these Angels is far darker and noisier than anything released in 1969, a ferocity that translates even better live than on record.

Enter to win tickets to the Black Keys:

La Zona Rosa Friday 09/26 G. Love & Special Sauce w/Eli "Paperboy" Reed (11pm) Saturday 09/27) Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band w/Jenny Lewis & M. Ward (10pm)
