I'm going crazy with the schedule, as well.

As much as I would love to see Iggy Pop again, to see the Gore Gore Girls at the Continental Club is almost too good to pass up.

The Watson Twins are playing @ a Presbyterian Church!! How friggin' cool is THAT??!??

The more I hear about Razorlight I like...And the Bravery as well.

Hows this for a one/two punch: Amy Winehouse at midnight on Thursday and then an hour later, a few doors down, you've got the Fratellis playing!! Hell yeah!

Of course, nothing beats seeing Johnette Napolitano on Saturday night in a small bar on the 18th floor of the downtown Hilton. Heaven!!

The madness has begun...

I really love the band Oakley Hall, playing at Antone's!
Here are some links, and a quote from their webpage:

Quote:

In other news, we get a double shot of UNCUT mag’s love this month. First they named Second Guessing one of the best albums of the year in the November issue and then they included “Hiway” on a CD of new American psych in the December issue. And we thank them for their yank love. We noticed that Lindsey Buckingham is on their list too, so we’d like to take this opportunity to ask him outright: Lindsey, will you produce our next record? We love you. We love “Holiday Road”, “Go Insane”, Buckingham-Nicks, and Tusk. “Hold Me” is in heavy rotation on tour. We love it all. We have very little to offer in terms of money, but ever hear of indie cred? Doesn’t pay the bills, but it would add some color to the ol’ resume. Think on it and please contact us at

^^That's funny - I noticed them earlier today and when I saw their pic, I thought, "Oh, 2 chicks in the band, I'll bet they never get compared to FM."

Sahara Hotnights and The Blue Van are playing in the same time slot, but I am intrigued as to who the "special guests" will be in that 1 AM time slot at Antone's.

Livia · #34 03-08-2007, 02:32 PM

A week away and my head is spinning from the scheduling and re-scheduling. But I've finally whittled it down, more or less. Lots of these bands are playing daytime parties, which helps a lot w/ all the nighttime conflicts:

The Pipettes
Mohair
Lily Allen
Rachel Fuller and guests (Mika, Martha Wainwright, Willy Mason, Sean Lennon and Pete Townsend)
Razorlight
The Gore Gore Girls
The Bravery
Sahara Hotnights
The Blue Van
Isaac Hayes/Stax 50 Venue (Helloooo, children!)
The Besnard Lakes
Funky Nashville
The Hedrons
Land of Talk
Amy Winehouse
The Oohlas
The Nightwatchman (aka, Tom Morello)
The Fratellis
The Vacancies w/ Joan Jett
The Breakup Society
Sloan
The Silos
The Good, The Bad and The Queen
Charles Wright and the 103
Paolo Nutini (I'm also going to try and snag tix for his ACL taping)
Johnette Napolitano
Iggy Pop & The Stooges
Perry Farrell's Satellite Party

Whew! And I've still left room for some wandering time for whatever, like bands from Japan - they're always fun. And really, the further away from Texas they are, the more I want to see them. Nordic night last year was SO much fun!

Thanks everyone, for your great suggestions!

one more suggestion (even though you pretty much have a busy schedule) march 15th at noon at the apple street bar -- a band called metro station is playing -- they're about to blow up and are pretty awesome. they have a song called kelsey (which you can listen to HERE) that's really pretty amazing -- a combination of electronica pop and rock. i bought their ep and it's solid

Amy Winehouse is my absolute FAVORITE artist right now. Her upcoming CD is incredible...I listen to it a couple of times a day and I am REALLY excited about seeing her. She's playing a couple of times during SXSW. Can't wait!

Okay, is she being serious? Does she mean to be unintelligible and sing about half a count behind the beat and just this side of flat ? Never saw or heard anything of her before. Seems like a train wreck. That is, unless she means to be a train wreck for comedy's sake.

she's dead serious. i have no idea what she drank/snorted before she went onstage but charlotte has her hand on the small of amy's back for a bit like amy might up and topple over. she's apparently a total train wreck -- but when she's not all drugged up, bitch can sing. she has a song called rehab on the new album -- "they tried to make me go to rehab i said no no no" she should have said yes, yes, yes.

Livia · #41 03-08-2007, 04:20 PM

I think that ^^^ was the first time I'd ever heard of or seen Amy.

Perez loves her - and loves to make fun of her. Sparky, no, she's not being serious. She was bombed!

Yeah, the feud w/ Lily. Should be an interesting week - I think Amy's got a lot more things booked - 2 showcases on 2 different nights and lots of daytime parties. The festival is so hectic, I don't imagine their paths will ever cross - but ya never know.

I know!! There had been rumours for a while but I'd ignored them... was shocked to find out they were true (but pleased for her... they seem so loved up!)
