It can’t be easy orgainising SXSW, I appreciate that, so the fact that the list of showcasing bands has changed umpteen million times should surprise no-one. Still and all, the grid (hurray, the grid!) is now live on sxsw.com for all your nerdish planning needs, while I’ve weeded out the brits who are playing after the wotsit.
Got word that the full list of Scottish Bands playing at SXSW 2010 is now finalised. Aside from We Were Promised Jetpacks, Hudson Mohawke, Unicorn Kid, Broken Records and the hotly-anticipated showcase from Frightened Rabbit, Young Fathers, Mull Historical Society and Codeine Velvet Club (featuring him off The Fratellis) are all on the bill, with The View “mysteriously” dropping off. You might not get a deep-fried Mars Bar in Austin, but you will get the soundtrack. Full list below, aye.
The Enormous Band List Of Doom just keeps on getting bigger, and from a quick whizz down the list, I can see that ever-such-nice-boys Athlete, as well as Ian MacLagan & The Bump Band (he was in the Small Faces, y’know) have been added to the British SXSW contingent.
