SXSW: 2010 Initial Band Lineup

Posted on November 30, 2009 |

And so it begins …

What has now become my favorite time of the year, where the peeps
behind South By Southwest starts announcing in short spurts, what
bands will be showcased during the next edition of the biggest,
most kick ass music festival (going down March 17-21, 2010)
on this big blue ball we call Earth, held every year in good
ol’ Austin, TX.

Last week, the names of 230 bands / artists were released and so far
I’m liking this list quite a bit and that’s only a fraction of
what the schedule will look like. At least 2000+ bands / artists
shows up every year for the festivities.

Lovin’ so far: Nicole Atkins, The Boxer Rebellion, The 88,
Frightened Rabbit, Good Shoes, Scanners, Smif N’ Wessun,
Warpaint.

Keep checking my blog for the latest updates because I shall
keep you apprised of anything SXSW related.

DoneWaiting.com is another great blog that keep us all updated
on the latest additions to the roster and also all them free,
day showcases that goes on during the week.

Only 107 days away.

    KARNIVOOL! I’m a pretty big fan of them. I wonder if that means they’ll end up doing a tour of the US around then (they’re from Australia, it would make sense).
