3/11/09: SXSW Updates: Metallica, Fader, Paste
03.11.09 • by Robert Duffy
Okay, lot’s going on. Hard to keep up. Don’t forget Showlist Austin and SCHED* for all your SXSW prep work.
- RSVP for the Fader Fort here. No info of line-up or location yet.
- Rumors continue to fly around that Metallica will be making an appearance. Because there was a wide gap in Friday’s schedule at Stubb’s, it seemed to be the likely candidate. But… that gap has been filled with the Guitar Hero Metallica Madness Competition at 10pm for 2 hours 20 minutes. So will it be members of Metallica in an all star jam with Guitar Heroes? Will the band play themselves? Do I really care? Not personally, but I know a lot of people do.
- Click here to RSVP for some Paste parties.
- AAM day show features Health, Eartless w/ J Mascis, and more.
- Park the Van is part of a day show featuring Deer Tick, The High Strung, more.
