That's the first official list of bands. As I posted in the other thread, most of the big acts are TBA. So far, Iggy Pop & the Stooges, Booker T & the MGs, Johnette Napolitano (according to her myspace page, she is playing in a VERY small, intimate, hotel cocktail lounge), and many other cool acts are confirmed. Morrissey is rumoured to return, and there's another rumour of a Nirvana reunion w/ Ben Kweller on lead vocals.

Ledgies around the world - please post your recommendations! Y'all haven't let me down yet! Last year, I became a huge Wolfmother fan, thanks to Gerald.

One more favor - if you say a band is "good," please mention what type of music it is or who they sound like or why you think they're good. If it's techno, ecstasy music, twangy country, or something else I know I won't like, then I won't waste my time googling for them. In the near future, the SXSW site will have MP3s loaded and a sort function to list bands by genre and city & state/country, so that will help.

Thanks!!
