It's no secret that the day shows and other unorthodox events lurking in the shadows of SXSW are one of the best things about the festival. In many cases it provides a chance for artists and attendees alike a chance to experience something especially memorable without the rigid structure and setup of such a large event. The show taking place on Saturday, March 17th at the very cool Chain Drive in Austin will be a chance to see more great acts under a single roof than you're likely to catch at several official showcases. The Strategies Of Beauty masterminds had the excellent idea to incorporate Austin artists into this event and there might even be a national act or two. If that's the case we'll let you know. The lineup as of right now:

Notes From Underground (Denton)
Shiny Around The Edges (Denton)
My Education (Austin)
The Zanzibar Snails (Denton)
Benko (Austin)
hotel, hotel (Austin)
Ghostcar (Denton)
Fires Were Shot (Austin)

Chain Drive
504 Willow Street

Ghostcar is just a bunch of amateur musicians trying to sound professional. Their groove is really weak, and they are very unoriginal and sloppy.

Oh, I don't care where they say they're from. I love Ghostcar. Never the same twice in the last 3 years I have seen them in Dallas, Denton or Ft. Worth. I hope they do the show.

in the navy.

Actually, Ghostcar just announced that they will not be able to make it. Clay joined the Navy, among other things.

well guys, we thought about NOT inviting Ghostcar simply because they don't live in Denton ... would that be better?

I will let this one slide. Grrrrr....
