Nothing even remotely grabs my attention yet. Of course, with typically ~1200 bands, a list of 100 is somewhat incomplete.

Daryl Hall???? [:0]

Out of all those bands, the only one I'd really love to see is A Place To Bury Strangers. Seeing The Breeders would be kind of nice too.

I see Bella's on the list. I almost posted about them the other day. Hsve you heard them, Blir? You'll either love them or hate them for being derivative:

oh dear,
except for REM and Pato Banton,
I've not heard of any of those bands.

Oh man, I'd definitely pay to see these guys. Seems it'd be a blast. Not crazy about the weasely fake hipster image they project on their page though - ditch the white jumpers! Motors, I can only imagine you'd want to beat the crap outta these guys if you saw them walking downt he street. [:o)]

Eh, not so much. I have a pretty high tolerance for people who just look stupid. It's when they ARE stupid that I think we should be allowed to hurt them. [:D]

Well you're a better than me then, 'cause I have this irrational desire to throttle them. It's much like a band I saw at the last SXSW that wore matching aquamarine tiger vests. My friend termed them Brown-Eye of the Tiger. I just wanted to beat the crap out of them for making me listen to terrible music and looking like idiots to boot! [B)]

The Laughing - You forgot in addition to their matching outfits and aquamarine tiger vests, they also sported face paint which was the kicker.

The list is uninspiring so far but many many more bands will be added after February 1st. Plus, a lot of names you don't recognize now will be the year's biggest bands.


I hope to see ya all there!

Carbon/Silicon features Mick Jones and Tony James
Dolly Parton!!!!
Lou Reed
English Beat

I wonder if it's a type..."Koop" rather than "Coop", the former being a really cool acid jazz outfit.

Oops..."typo"...how ironic.

don't be surprised if the NY Dolls make an appearance.

The bands list is up to 350. Still very preliminary - probably around 800+ more to go:

I hadn't noticed the Shout Out Louds before - yay.

weird as their site makes no mention of it (although they are in NYC the 11th) and I did see that Shout Out Out Out has confirmed SXSW on pitchfork.com

Here's a little bonus - "Joy Division", the documentary, will be screening during during SXSW. Very cool.
