Metro announces SXSW day party!

The Metro is beloved internationally, and we Chicagoans are proud it’s located here. This year it turns twenty-five, and it plans on celebrating with a year’s worth of shows. But they’re kicking off the party at SXSW … in Austin?

Oh well, who cares? With the exception of The Redwalls, it’s a killer two-stage bill! So make sure you get down there Tuesday to hit the paty first thing Wednesday!

  1. Is this open to the public?

  2. That, I don’t know. I imagine it’s like any other day party, where if there’s room you can usually get in.

  3. Saw The Prairie Cartel last year during SXSW. A 15-minute highlight, to be sure. Interesting stuff.

  4. this show should be open to the public Emo’s always has free day shows.

  5. The show is free and open to the public (provided there is room), so please come and check out some of Chicago’s best and brightest bands!

  6. Well there you go … how’s that for a definitive answer!

  7. Hooray! I heart the Smoking Popes.

  8. Haha! “With the exception of the Redwalls,” indeed!
