H-Town Takes A-Town (Pt. 3): SXSW Week Is Here... [3/18/2009 02:37:00 PM]:
Well, we're just about there -- the lucky, non-work-having bastards among us, that is. Yours truly blew all his time off flying to London & back earlier this month, so he's once again going to have to miss the SXSW shenanigans once again...I'm gonna make it there one year, I swear (still working on the press pass).

Luckily, others are more fortunate than I, and so if all goes well SCR will be ably represented by roving correspondent Lance H. (of Tambersauro/Esotype Recs/Golden Cities infamy), who'll be trawling the parties and shows and whatever while he's not actively on-stage drumming, writing up his thoughts, and blogging 'em here. He'll be joined, hopefully, by fellow kind volunteers Brigitte Z. (of Hater) and David C. (of Houston Calling), with other guests maybe popping up, besides. Got my fingers firmly crossed, y'all...

So, as I'm stuck here in SCR's well-fortified mountaintop HQ, what better way to pass the time than giving you a little advance warning of things H-town-centric that'll be going down in the general vicinity of Austin this week. Yeah, I'm going to be pretty Houston-focused, still, when it comes to the SXSW stuff, despite all the cool non-Houston people playing (That Petrol Emotion, woo!) -- sorry, but H-town needs the spotlight from somewhere, dammit. The exceptions are going to be groups that're putting on a bunch of shows, some w/Houston bands, some without, like the Human Party Virus crew; I'm going to list all of them, in the interest of solidarity, yo.

Houston-area bands are listed in puke-y yellow/green where possible, and linked where possible to reviews & whatnot, as well. Oh, and I'm attempting to list the bands playing in order from first to last, but I'm skipping the schedules -- if you want the specific times, go to whatever the link is, eh?

NOTE: I will be attempting to update this thing as the days roll on, so if you hear/see anything H-town-related that's not on this list, definitely let me know ("gaijin" at "spacecityrock dot com"), and I'll add it as soon as I can. Anyway, here's what I've at least heard about that involves Houston bands:

Random SXSW-Related News:

  • 3/19: Heard from correspondent David C., who reported that sadly, yesterday's H-town-focused "Texadus" party at Co-Lab (feat. Benjamin Wesley, The Western Civ, & other cool folks) got shut down by the fire marshal at about 2PM. Damn. I've heard reports, though, that all the permits'll be obtained in time for the other Co-Lab-hosted shows, so keep yr fingers crossed.
  • Chatted the other night with Chris from the much-beloved Buxton, and sadly, while his band is indeed playing all over the freakin' place at SXSW, he's missing the fun due to illness. Damn. Luckily, he's found an able temp replacement in the form of Brett from By the End of Tonight & sIngs, but still... Get better soon, man!
