The schedule is now live on sxsw.com, but this is the list of British bands playing SXSW 2010 that we’ve got together so far. Let us know if you hear of anyone we’ve missed – there’s probably loads, since there’s no longer an easy-to-scan list sorted by country yet. Latest scan through it shows up Stricken City, Pulled Apart By Horses and Marina And The Diamonds all added to the Brit-list. There’s also a Twitter list we’ve put together of showcasing Brits that you can follow here.

The schedule is now live on sxsw.com, but for your enjoyment or otherwise. this is the list of British bands playing SXSW 2010 that we’ve got together so far. Let us know if you hear of anyone we’ve missed, there’s probably loads, since there’s no longer an easy-to-scan list sorted by country any more. Latest update sees not only Scottish wunderkids We Were Promised Jetpacks added to the bill, but also Sheffield’s fantastic indiepopper trio Standard Fare. Wunderbar.

SXSW have now released what they’re calling a “preliminary” schedule. Except as far as the music is concerned, it’s so preliminary that every single showcase is tba. So, what you’ve really got is a bloody great big list of bands, all dumped in there on the Wednesday. Something to while away the time, though. It’s not the most user-friendly list of all time though, so I’ll wade through it and try and get some kind of British thing lashed together out of it. Still, though, hoping for awesome things from the iphone app they keep mentioning.

SXSW have again updated their big list o’ bands, with another 40-odd British bands added to that list. No really big names added from the Brits point of view, although I’m chuffed to see some more Scottish bands on there in the well-formed shapes of St Deluxe and Fangs, but delighted to see Allo Darlin (pictured), Beans On Toast and Blue Roses on that list as well, but I’ve updated the British list here so you can check it our yourselves. Pretty impressive though – over three months to go and around a third of the bands are already confirmed… excited, oh yes.

Bloody hellfire, that was sharpish. SXSW have released a big list of over 200 bands now confirmed for next March’s antics. Thirty of those are Brits, which is nice, including Frightened Rabbit (pictured), Fanfarlo, Broken Records and Chris T-T, all of whom are favourites (and who have all played in recent years, many of them last year, I think). The full lists are below, and I’ll start digging into each of the UK bands over the coming few days. Hoo-rah.

Fresh from sxsw’s shiny twitter stream, the first bands have been announced for the 2010 shindig that we may or may not have mentioned before. From the UK, there’s the Domino-signed Archie Bronson Outfit (pictured) and CHEW LiPS, both from London, as well as the drop-dead awesome Japandroids (Vancouver, Canada), Giulla y los Tellarini (Barcelona, Spain), The Hong Kong Blood Opera (from Hermosillo, Mexico, obviously) and fashionable down-underists The Temper Trap (Melbourne, Australia). More on those bands after the jump, but in the meantime all other bands will get the magic letter of joy (or not) by Jan 29, 2010.
