Aussie BBQ @ SXSW (we’ve got the details)

Posted on February 9, 2009 by Chip Midnight

Looking like another great year for the Aussie BBQ. This party is open to SXSW badgeholders (entry subject to capacity).

I’ll have to do some homework before heading to Austin as the only two names that I’m familiar with are Youth Group and Gabriella Cilmi, who could be one of the hits of SXSW 2009 if her live show lives up to her recorded material.

THE AUSSIE BBQ 2009 at SxSW
12.00 noon – 7.30pm
Friday 20th March 2009
Brush Square Park, Austin Texas
(opposite the Austin Convention Centre)

featuring 12 acts:
The Drones
Youth Group
Gabriella Cilmi
The Grates
Birds of Tokyo
Josh Pyke
Temper Trap
My Disco
Infusion
The Fumes
The Boat People

SXSW: Aussie BBQ – lineup

Posted on February 19, 2008 by Chip Midnight

Bands: Kate Bradley & Band, Yves Klein Blue, The Chevelles, The Vines, The Stems, Mink, Paul Kelly, Ash Grunwald, Whitley, The Panics, Something with Numbers, Old Man River
Date: Friday, March 14 (12pm – 7:30pm)
Location: Brush Square Park (across the street from the Convention Center)
RSVP: SXSW badgeholders welcome

This is our favorite party at SXSW. Every year we go into it with very little knowledge about the bands playing. And every year we come out of it with new favorite bands (examples: Airbourne, The Flairz, Ground Components, Gyroscope, etc., etc.). Our Australian friends usually bring with them a whole lot of Cooper’s Ale which is worth the visit to this party by itself!

Lineup and times are as follows:

12.15 – 12.40pm KATE BRADLEY & BAND
12.50 – 1.15pm YVES KLEIN BLUE
1.25 – 1.50pm THE CHEVELLES
2.00 – 2.25pm THE VINES
2.40 – 3.05pm THE STEMS
3.15 – 3.40pm MINK
3.50 – 4.15pm PAUL KELLY
4.25 – 4.50pm ASH GRUNWALD
5.00 – 5.25pm WHITLEY
5.35 – 6.00pm THE PANICS
6.10 -6.35pmSOMETHING WITH NUMBERS
6.40 – 6.50pm Stage & Screen trip winner announced
6.50 – 7.15pm OLD MAN RIVER

Make sure to bring a business card and drop it into the bucket for a chance to win a return flight to Australia.

And if you’re in Austin early, check out the Aussie pre-SXSW show at Emo’s Lounge on Tuesday, March 11 (doors at 7pm) featuring Chad Mason, Whitley, Dan Kelly, Chris Pickering, Kate Bradley, Ash Grunwald and more to be announced.
