Atomic Outlaws
SXSW FRIDAY ITINERARY >>>
If we learned anything from yesterday's experience, let it be that these early schedules I provide for the Weekly Volcano's SXSW 2010 coverage are VERY flexible. Depending on how much booze I've consumed, and how far I feel like walking at any given moment - coupled with most bands playing multiple nights in Austin - things are subject to change ... just as they did yesterday.
Even so, here's a look at what I'm planning to check out today:
ATOMIC OUTLAWS: Just like SweetKiss Momma yesterday, Tacoma's Atomic Outlaws will take to the outdoor parking lot that is the Texas Rock Stage. Somewhere, the Crüe is no doubt beaming. I'll make checking out the show a priority, as it's 10:30 p.m. kickoff should go down far before I'm completely beligerant - not that it would matter.
QUASI: Janet Weiss and Sam Coomes have made bassist Joanna Bolme an official member - meaning Quasi is now a threesome. With a new record out, getting the typical Quasi rave reviews - the Portland band will be at Antone's tonight. The last time I saw Quasi was at the Doug Fir in their hometown - simply an amazing show. I'm expecting nothing else tonight.
THURSTON MOORE: It's not every day you have a chance to see Thurston Moore, right? I'd have to be ridiculous to miss this one - or just get distracted by a taco, a beer, or something else insanely cool. We'll see what happens.
DEAD SEXY INC: They're French, for goodness sake - and they play a disco rock hybrid that's certainly worth its weight in croissants. What's the intrigue of SXSW for a band of French rockers already making a name in their homeland? I'll aim to find out. In the meantime, Google the band.
THE xx: We missed them last night, but it won't happen again. Mark my words. Or don't. Promises from Austin and SXSW - especially from media folks with a pocket full of free drink tickets - don't mean much.
