controlthebleeding Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 dibs? i can't. staff is pifing it to me. so i wouldn't sell or give it to anyone anyway. i probably won't even pick it up. i work thurs-sat at night. so it's pointless. only time i go is to hang out with friends for dinner or lunch. total bummer i really wish i had a job that gave me lots of vacation time. well more than a week a year.

nickwantspizza Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 First time I'll be attending SXSW (also first post, hey!). I just started working at an indie label and they're sending me to network/promote the label. The only large scale music festival I've been to is THE FEST so any other tips/what to expect would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickwantspizza Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 bring lots of cash for food. and good walking shoes. don't wear a cowboy hat. Haha thanks! Looking forward to eating a ton of awesome food throughout the week. How close are the panels/discussions to the actual showcases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konk Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Some are close, others not. If an address has an E, you'll be ok. If it's on the west side of Congress, you might want a pedicab. Edit: That only applies to the number streets. You have to know geography for the river streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 So hate to stir up a certain topic that gets a lot of buzz on this board....but does Brand New have any type of history with playing or not playing SXSW? With a possible new album in the works and European tour in April...SXSW seems pretty likely to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl_ben Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Few things to add to the spreadsheet today. Now just waiting for some bands labels to start announcing some of the stuff that is still unannounced: TMR, 6131 Records, Saddle Creek...

stl_ben Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 So as someone who hasn't gone...do lots of parties just get announced very late? I know AP Magazine normally has a big showcase, but can't find anything on it yet. Same with Rachel Ray (evidently she has a great taste in music.)

jared Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 From what I've learned if you want to keep up to date with parties and shows, just pay attention to the bands websites or Facebook. That's where they'll most likely announce stuff. Also Brand New is playing here in texas come June, so I doubt they'll be doing any sxsw shows.

stl_ben Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Still lots of Brand New rumors, but think it will be announced late. Lots of parties have been starting to be announced, what are you guys liking so far? The Exit/In Showcase is my favorite so far: Bully, Pujol, Diarrhea Planet, Cy Barkley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Anyone know any info of the Free Record Topshelf is giving away at their showcase? I'm pretty busy that day, but may try to make it over there depending on what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshelfsquad Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Anyone know any info of the Free Record Topshelf is giving away at their showcase? I'm pretty busy that day, but may try to make it over there depending on what it is. Free 7" with previously released material from You Blew It! and Diamond Youth. Free screen printed posters as well. http://topshelfrecords.tumblr.com/post/78650685999/lets-bail-on-all-this-snow-and-hang-out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 If anyone is down there already, here's a party I helped put together. It's free, all-ages and open to the public: Unfortunately I'm not attending SXSW this year. Someone eat a slice of Hoek's Death Metal Pizza on my behalf. hippielauryn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Unfortunately I'm not attending SXSW this year. Someone eat a slice of Hoek's Death Metal Pizza on my behalf. Hoek's is the best!! It's the only pizza we eat when we go to shows in Austin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circuit bored records Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Really shitty. I texted my friend a couple hours ago whose band is playing there through Friday and haven't gotten a response yet. Hope he's alright. My heart goes out to anyone affected by this.

kamalatapes Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Damn hope you are ok ben_stl I hope justice is served. Hoping all you guys there are okay. Can't fucking believe some of the people on this earth. Terrible news. Huffington Post has the most disrespectful interview video up, one if the girls is practically laughing. I think she's still in shock and hysterical if anything, I know she knows nothing was funny about it.
