SXSW Official Schedule Announced: Here's Some Bullet Points

The full schedule is pretty dense, so we've tried to filter it down just a bit for the casual browser. No worries, we'll be posting all the free parties too - including links to maps and RSVP forms soon. For all the (official) info, visit sxsw.com/music.

• Aces Lounge will host Fastball and Mahjongg on the same bill.
• Back Alley Social and Fuze will host an entire evening of hip-hop, featuring Zion I, Doomtree, Brother Ali and others.
• We like the Ruby Coast, and they'll be at BD Riley's along with Turbowolf, the Transpersonals and others.
• The Beauty Bar seems like a pretty solid place to camp out for wristband folks (and those w/o wristbands probably already know about hanging out in the back parking lot, right?) of the indie persuasion. Fol Chen, DM Stith, Rafter, LAKE, No Kids, Tara Jane O'Neil and Casiotone for the Painfully Alone among others will perform between inside and out.
• That KCRW show we mentioned earlier with Port O'Brien and School of Seven Bells will happen at Buffalo Billiards.
