The best part about SXSW? Free Daytime shows!!

Below are some of the free day shows for this year's SXSW. We had so much fun at last years free parties that I cannot wait to see what is in store for us this year.

Tuesday 3/11

This is American Music
Grand Champeen, Two Cow Garage, The Drams, Glossary at Beerland

Friday 3/14

Bloodshot Records 14th Annual Party and BBQ
Firewater, Bobby Bare Jr., The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, The Waco Brothers, Ha Ha Tonka, Justin Townes Earle, Deadstring Brothers, Mark Pickerel & His Praying Hands, The Silos (in tribute to Drew Glackin), Andre Williams at Yard Dog Gallery (1510 S. Congress Ave.)

I'm still trying to get the low down on the No Depression Party, the Twangfest Party, and the New West Records Party, all of which are usually very nice. Hopefully my painter friend Donald wont' be so hung over this year and can truly enjoy himself.

YES! This is where the smart people do SXSW the right way. Fuck all that bullshit about hoping you get into a packed club full of "industry fucks" with your pathetic wristband or badge. Gorilla usually hooks up the free "invitation only" parties during the day with good music and free fucking beer. So kiss my ass, all you jackasses who drop several hundreds of dollars to think you are looking cool by attending these lame 45 minute shows. Ok, so there are some gems among the heap of crap, but do you really want to mix in with that vapid crowd? Our crew feels otherwise. So let us know if you are interested in spending a cool, laid back Austin TX afternnoon with 2 of the coolest guys I know and lets thumb our noses at the industry while we enjoy their "freebies". Hardy fuckin Har- .....
