Greetings all. I will be arriving in Austin at 4pm on Tuesday and plan to see Two Cow Garage at Beerland later that night. And then comes the madness. Here’s what I’m hoping to see on Wednesday,
Day Parties:
Noon – Red Dahlia (The Continental Club)
1:35 – Prairie Cartel (Emo’s inside)
2:30 – The Twilight Sad (Emo’s Annex)
Wonka Vision Party (Red 7)
Yarr! Party (Treasure Island)
Showcases
8pm – Wolf & Cub (Emo’s)
8:45 – Ola Podrida (Mohawk Patio)
9:45pm – Frightened Rabbit (Mohawk Patio)
10:45 – The Twilight Sad (Mohawk Patio)
12am – Let’s Go Sailing (Blender Bar)
1am – Daylights for the Birds (Latitude 30)
I’m sporting a fashionable SXSW wristband this year so I’m not sure if I’ll have any trouble getting into any of these shows but if any of these shows line up with what you’re seeing, please stop and say “hi”. I’ll be sporting my Donewaiting.com t-shirt. And, no, I’m NOT Duffy :)
Post your Wednesday schedules in the comments section if you’d like. I’ll post my Thursday and Friday schedules once I’ve got them all figured out (I’m leaving Austin on Saturday – $400 price difference in plane ticket if I leave Saturday as opposed to Sunday).
And keep checking back for SXSW coverage as I plan to blog each morning before the day gets rolling. Who knows, definitely some photos and maybe even some audio and video

11pm: lily allen (stubb’s)
I’m going to need to clone myself (and my pre sxsw liver for later transplant). More likely I’ll be running through a traveling salesman exercise and hit the shows closest together so that I don’t have to waste any time crossing back and forth across downtown.

Austin Bob, is the Fucked Up show not part of a SXSW showcase? I’m showing them as playing on Thursday, 12:00am at Lamberts.
You really think you’re going to be able to get to all those day shows at different venues in time? From my experience the past few years and from living in austin, it’s going to be extremely difficult. Anything at Emos is going to have a huge line with a long wait because it’s all ages. Also The Continental Club is not downtown. Well technically it is, but it’s about 4 miles south of EMOs.
I’ll probably be at Stubb’s the whole day. Starting from the NME BBQ through the night showcases.
My discarded picks are all seething quietly on a big pile. So here it is for Wednesday!!
12 Saturday Looks Good To Me Conference Day Stage
01 The Foundry Field Emos
01.30 Canada Emos
2 The Affair Emos
2.30 The Twilight Sad Emos
3 Uncut Emos
3.40 Honeycut Emos
4.20 Apostle Of Hustle Emos
5.15 The Black Angels Emos
5.45 Uncle Monk Mother Reagans
6.15 Malajube Brush Square
8.15 ILikeTrains Emo’s Jr
8.30 The Dirty Skirts Maggie Maes
9 The Automatic Stubbs
10 Beirut Emo’s main
11 Forro In The Dark Club One 15
12 The Broken west Antones
01 Patty Hurst Shifter BD Rileys
I can’t go, but if I could I’d see Beat The Devil. Our site did a story on them over the weekend. See it here if you wish:

They’re playing 3/16 at Beerland.
Fuck i’m missing the whole 1st day and it BURNS!! ;)
Kinski, Rob Crow, Imperial Teen, Holy Fuck, Calla.. what was i thinking?
i am out of it. are there any bands in the vein of white strips + black keys?

see earl greyhound.
The Fucked Up show at the Lamar Pedestrian Bridge is NOT a SXSW showcase….
but who can argue with ferocious punk rock on a public thoroughfare?
And of course I’m not going to make it to all of those shows….but I’ll certainly try :)
First time SXSW-goer. I have a badge, but am I out of my mind to think I can get to this many shows in such a short span of time?
2:05pm- Eli Paperboy Reed @ Bourbon Rocks
3pm- Ghostland Observatory @ Guadalupe & W 25th
6pm- Army of Me @ Purevolume
7pm- Mew@Guadalupe & W 25th
9pm- Brighton, MA @Light Bar
10pm- CPC Gangbangs @ Lava Lounge Patio
11pm- Lily Allen @ Stubbs
12am- A Place To Bury Strangers @ Red 7 Patio
1am- The Isles @ Habana Calle 6 Annex
Seems doable, but you may have a wait in line for some of those since you’ll be cutting it close for each band since they’re all back to back. I would assume Lily Allen will be especially tough to get into.
Here’s mine for Wednesday:
12:30pm Arthur Yoria @ BD Riley’s Irish Pub
1:30pm The Prairie Cartel @ Emo’s
2:30pm Twilight Sad @ Emo’s Annex
3pm? Born Liars @ Room 710
4:20-4:50pm The Hourly Radio @ Mohawk
8pm Wolf & Cub @ Emo’s
9pm Black Tie Dynasty @ The Tap Room at Six
10pm Fatal Flying Guilloteens @ Red Eyed Fly
11pm Greg Ashley @ Club Deville
12am Kinski @ Emo’s Lounge
I can’t believe nobody had mentioned the Beirut show at Emo’s. Oh well, hopefully that means its easy to get into. then I’m off to catch a couple of seconds of the At All Cost set at mohawk. and finally Thunderbirds Are Now! and Les Savy Fav at the Red Eyed Fly. I’m trying to keep my schedule do-able, unlike some of you that have 5 bars completely across town listed…good luck with those.
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE PITCHFORK SHOW IS FREE ON FRIDAY?!
Jesus, keep your pants on Clarkson! The Pitchfork show is free. Free of cost, but full of hip little brats.
Pitchfork show? Damn, who cares about that shit. I miss Splendid.
Does anyone know when the wristbands will go on sale today?
this is what i ended up doing today
1 am Peter Bjorn and John (la zona rosa)
12am Razorlight (Stubb’s)
11 pm Lily Allen (Stubb’s)
8 pm Donovan ( Central Presbyterian Church (200 E 8th St) )
6 pm Mando Diao (7th and red river)
5:15 pm The Black Angels (Emo’s Annex)
2:45 pm Peter Bjorn and John (Buffalo Billiards)
what a day!!!
