Strait Laces are one of the Northern Irish contingent at SXSW this year. I always find Northern Irish bands - and the Northern Irish in general for that matter - to be ever-so-slightly but fundamentally crazy, in a cheery but quite patently demented sort of way. Brilliant fun, sharp as a switchblade, but invariably the sort that will leave you for dead in a drinking competition, a race, or a fight. It's...
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...
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.
Showburner favourites
Fanfarlo are to play at Californian radio station
KCRW's evening showcase on Weds, 17 Mar, representing Britain alongside a globe-spanning line-up including Ozomatli, Mike Snow, Choir Of Young Believers, Soko and Fitz And The Tantrums.
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...
