2nd the Acorn, Elliott Brood and too many others to remember from the official list.

[wilceaux]

Okkervil River is playing with Roky Erikson. Should be pretty crazy.

 

I didn't see M. Ward and Zooey on the list. They are playing at the Episcopal Church.

[myboyblue]

Wow, a bit amazed that Naked Raygun is playing SXSW. They dominated by sophomore/Junior years of high school. Much of their stuff still holds up as hardcore-lite.

[El Picador]

Of these, I'm most hoping to see:

MMJ performing brand new Evil Urges material

The Saturday Knights putting on a killer, hilarious and high energy set

Elf Power!!!

 

I recommend getting a badge. Or at least a wristband.

[tangara]

I'm going sans badge, but thinking about picking up a wristband. Maybe.

 

I've heard the badges are overpriced and overrated - thoughts?

[solace]

I'm going sans badge, but thinking about picking up a wristband. Maybe.

 

I've heard the badges are overpriced and overrated - thoughts?

 

i'm with you.

 

there's no way i'd get the $500-600 usage out of a badge.

 

especially considering that currently my plans involve 90% free day/night parties and very few actual official SXSW events. the point of SXSW isn't to see bigger bands or bands you've seen a bunch or will be seeing soon. like if i get into MMJ, great, but i'm not gonna put a ton of effort into it, especially if there's other bands i wanna see then.

 

the only bigger show i am going to bust my ass to get into is the Merge showcase for Matt & Zooey, which shouldn't be TOO hard, since the only other bigger band is Destroyer.

 

there's a chance i'll buy a wristband though, we'll see.

[tangara]

Same here. I'm going with Austin natives, so they'll be showing me the ropes (and the art of free beer and barbecue). They all felt that badges were unnecessary, but thought that wristbands might come in handy, especially if you can get them cheaply off craigslist.

 

I think I might actually put a bit of effort into that MMJ show, only because I'm really hoping they'll preview the new stuff.
