[bomp] Re: SXSW Bomp-worthy

[beyesn@xxxxxxx]

Hey Bob -

Most of the SXSW bands I mentioned are part of the official festival showcase, but a couple you may not have seen on the official schedule because they are playing "unofficial" splinter events.? Some bands, including The Ugly Beats, are playing both types of events. 

A good list of these "side show" events can be found here: http://www.austin360.com/music/content/music/stories/2008/02/0221sxswside.html

(Also, my mentions do not constitute a critical endoresement!)

Can't wait to get down there...

Both the Boss Martians and the Donnas were here a couple years ago and both seemed to be on a serious 1970's kick with mixed results.? Boss Martians sounded kinda' like Cheap Trick so I stuck around.? The Donnas were doing a lot of dull hard rock so I left.? Anyone know whether their schtick has improved?

?

Dollyrots and Baby Shakes?...Stems??...guess I'd better take a better look at the schedules.? 

No Stooges and Buzzcocks this time, but there's always?*something* going on.

?

An aside to Blair B: Teachers in Austin schools always get Spring Break during SXSW.? You might wanna' consider moving south....

Compared to the past few years, he lineup is not *as* Bomp-worthy...but   certainly worthwhile.         I know the Cynics and Paul Collins Beat are returning, and they're on the same   showcase as the Ugly Beats.  Joe can verify, but I think the "Antones"   appearance is an in-store at Antones Records, not at the bar called Antone's.          I will plug the Wednesday night showcase at Red Eyed Fly for two reasons--    1) Shameless self-promotion, The Bad Rackets are on the bill and     b) Naked Raygun is headlining.         See The Mullens if you have not already done so.  Can't remember which   night/venue but they're coming.         Seems like I've missed several others, somebody please chime in.
