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
