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.

****UPDATE**** – sorry folks, the feed that puts all these bands on the page seems, helpfully, to be having a bit of an episode. So if you’re seeing this message, the list below is probably all wrong. You know that sport where hillbillies try and catch a greased-up pig? That’s my life, right there.

****UPDATE AGAIN**** – Right, that’s just fucking annoying. Why would you create a widget that only takes links from the CURRENT CALENDAR YEAR, and why would you do it WITHOUT AN OPTION TO CHANGE IT. Yahoo, you are not making my life any goddamn easier. The list is now down, so sorry if you’ve arrived here looking for it – it will be back shortly once I rebuild it by hand. Again, Yahoo, thanks a fucking bazillion. Bah.

Right, all done.

Enormous thanks to Peter and Jane for the lists, and to Dear Scotland (who, by the way, are doing a really cool series of previews on the Scottish bands at SXSW), really appreciate the help. If you’re going to Austin, I owe you all a Shiner.
