If you’re going to SXSW and Showlist Austin isn’t on your daily list of sites to visit, you a punk. I mean it seems like so many sites (somes with real staffs and real budgets!) this year are copping Dan’s style it’s sort of embarrassing. Naughty, naughty websites.
ANYWAY.
Can’t remember Billions doing a free day show in recent years, but here you go:
We’ve got so many more shows after the jump, dudes.

that consequences flyer is not the best lookin’ flyer out there.
No it’s not. It’s burning my eyes. It looks like a cross between a flyer for a progressive church service and a las vegas hotel pool party…

showlistaustin.com/#sxsw will jump you down straight to the south by listings, btw.
Is it just my computer settings or did sxsw take away the ability to download the individual artist’s songs on the schedule? as of about a week ago I can listen but I can’t download. I’ve tried re-loading flash, quicktime and WMP and messed with the setting of all of them ad nauseum but can’t get the download function to work. Is anyone else having the same issue?
Damn, awesome website. I actually came across this on Bing, and I am happy I did. I will definately be revisiting here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment.
Thank You
