Yeah, it’s still months away, but someone has to kick SXSW season off, right? So it is with some pride and anticipation that we announce the Village Voice’s 2010 SXSW party, featuring the xx, Superchunk, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and our old friends Surfer Blood. Friday, March 19, La Zona Rosa, Austin, TX, 12pm – 5pm. These bands are alternately old friends and young heroes to us so it just didn’t seem worth keeping secret any longer. You will probably forget but we will definitely remind you.
You can find the same info on Surfer Blood’s MySpace page where you’ll also learn they’re playing a Filter event with She and Him

CMJ breakout band Surfer Blood will play the Summit on Wednesday night. It’s good timing — see ‘em before you’re sick of hearing about ‘em. The Florida band’s debut, Astro Coast, is out on Kanine January 19. It’s good.
Detroit’s Terrible Twos open. $5, 18+. Under 21 pay $2 surcharge at the door.
