It’s that time, my dear readers. The Music portion of SXSW 2010 begins in earnest today, so I’m here to bring you (for your reading pleasure) my approximate schedule for the three days I’ll be in attendance at this glorious event. For ease of reading, the shows I’ll be attending in an optimal, perfect world, one where set-up and sound check delays never occur, will be underlined.
For those of you interested in perusing the list of what’s happening across the city of Austin for what looks to be a riotous few days — right down to every venue hosting music, who’s playing each venue, and what day it’s all happening — click here for the massive list. You shouldn’t be disappointed by what you find here.
Furthermore, you can check in on the festivities at Houston Press Rocks Off, as I’m part of the team of writers covering SXSW 2010. And if you’re not overwhelmed with reading about all sorts of live music shenanigans (both the bands and the people), please come back on Monday, March 22nd to read my personal recap essay of the event.
