I am officially on VACATION! It's not really spring break, cause I'm a grownup and all now, but it's JUST like spring break in that I plan on hitting the road, and along with thousands of other like-minded individuals descending upon a town where we plan to eat, drink and party all week long. That town? Austin, of course. And the destination? SXSW.
I'm hopping in the car in just a little bit, and my sister and I will be getting to Austin tomorrow. Over the past week, I've been using my spare minutes to whittle the massive band list down to the bands I REALLY, really want to see. Taking my own advice, you could say. So while I'm driving, why don't you check out the acts that will (hopefully) be on my agenda this week:
The Must-Sees
Department of Eagles - "No One Does It Like You"
Grizzly Bear - "Easier"
J. Tillman - "Steel on Steel"
M. Ward - "Rave On"
The Reeeeeeeeally-Want-To-Sees
Gomez - "Airstream Driver"
Handsome Furs - "I'm Confused"
Here We Go Magic - "Tunnelvision"
Horse Feathers - "Curs in the Weeds"
Vetiver - "More of This"
The It-Would-Be-Pretty-Awesome-To-Sees
Andrew Bird - "Plasticities"
Bishop Allen - "The Ancient Commonsense of Things"
Fanfarlo - "Harold T. Wilkins"
The Features - "The Drawing Board"
Harlem Shakes - "Strictly Game"
Calvin Harris - "Merrymaking At My Place"
How I Became the Bomb - "Secret Identity"
Howlies - "Chimera"
Elvis Perkins in Dearland - "123 Goodbye"
Phosphorescent - "Reasons to Quit"
The Rural Alberta Advantage - "Don't Haunt This Place"
Say Hi - "Northwestern Girls"

My next post will be from the road and/or Austin. I still have Part 4 of Out the Other's Guide to SXSW on the Cheap - my sis and I are going to brainstorm general tips and tricks in the car.
See you in Austin!
