definitely go see the redwalls. i just saw them friday night -- they're awesome. they're on student-run drexel university label MadDragon Records (that's my friend ashley holding up the sign -- she was responsible for putting together their show on friday...i'm pretty proud of her).
apart from those already mentioned, may i suggest... Nicole Atkins Ben's Brother (dentyne ice uses their song "stuttering") Rocco Deluca and the Burden (i cannot rave enough about them) Sonya Kitchell My Morning Jacket Kate Voegele also, i've been meaning to tell you to check out local philadelphia band jealousy curve (currently touring the south before finally coming home on friday!!). apart from being a great bunch of guys, they're out of this world performers. they did an acoustic show not too long ago and covered purple rain. i died a little. check them out...you'll dig

I was waiting for you to chime in on this thread.
 I was listening to Nicole Atkins earlier today - I dig her. She's on the list. The Redwalls got upgraded to bolded font...I really like them! I saw MMJ at ACL last year. They did put on a great show - with a Hawaiian Tropic theme. The lead singer wore a blonde wig and grass skirt. I like them, but don't think I need to see them again during sxsw. I've heard of Kate and Rocco, but am not familiar w/ their music. I'll check them out and the others you mentioned too. BTW, I'm a HUGE Grace Potter fan now - thanks!

yeah, if there are other bands you haven't had a chance to see yet, i don't blame you for not wanting to go see my morning jacket again -- i'd be the same way. there's too many awesome bands/performers to see the same folks again. every year you make me incredibly jealous. i swear, one year i will make it down there i'm also really really wanting to go to bonnaroo...but i'm not sure that will pan out either.i can honestly say that there is not one song on rocco's album that i do not like. i first heard about them back in december of '06. vh1 ran a documentary called i trust you to kill me and it was all about the band and keifer sutherland (he discovered them and in fact, the band is on the record label he's part owner of) touring europe. it was incredibly interesting and really well put together. i bought the album the next day and have been listening to it every since they've been touring the country with different vh1 you oughta know artists. you'll have to let me know what you think of them and jealousy curve (black widow is currently in heavy rotation).

Duh - Kate Voegele - she's already one of my myspace friends.
From Rocco's myspace: DeLuca and the Burden's music is a passionate, muscular mix of swampy blues and stomping rock. They're not derivative, but their sound has elements of Dave Matthews Band, Tim Buckley and U2, with hints of Thom Yorke and Lindsey Buckingham in DeLuca's keening voice. - LA Times I love the dobro. "Swing Low" rocks! He's on the list!

I would be pulled into a club by:
The Heavy (one of the best records I've heard lately-steamy livestuff I presume) Nada Surf (I bet you like them, Livia) Yeasayer. BTW: No Okkervil River? They were GREAT last week in nijmegen! No Drive-By Truckers? They got one hell of a countryrock epos out that doesn't leave my player for a while-only to make place for Canadians Black Mountain and their new album. A cracker of an album that rocks my boat bigtime and would be perfect for SXSW. Not on the list yet? Every year about this time I'm green of jealousy. Austin is so cool. Been there once. STILL wanting to go back.

Okkervil River is local - with 1700-whatever bands in town, I don't ever see local bands during SXSW. However, they are collaborating with Roky Erickson at the Austin Music Awards. I may have to see that... I believe Drive By Truckers are touring right now - I saw 'em in New Orleans a couple years ago - great band! Black Mountain's on the list - they're on my radar! Looks like my Sat. night is set in stone: Legendary Punk Band X to play SXSW X will headline Emo's Main Room on Saturday, Mar 15 as part of the Time Out NY showcase. The show will feature all original members of the legendary LA punk band: DJ Bonebrake, Exene Cervenka, John Doe and Billy Zoom. "We certainly haven’t lost much, and it’s really inspiring to see an enthusiastic young audience. It has to do with being a part of something that’s real and not virtual. We feel like the last gunslingers" says bassist Doe. X will be taking their "13x31" show on the road for a Spring tour. The Time Out NY showcase will also feature The Donnas, The Raveonettes, Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong and Oppenheimer
