SXSW is here again and we’ve got a particularly great lineup of shows for you.

TOBACCO FILMS 5TH ANNUAL SXSW BARN PARTY… 10pm

The Beacon show with Uncle Lucius is this Saturday

We are playing at a really unusual, quite wonderful “house party” up near Georgetown with our pals in Uncle Lucius! We are not talking a few chairs in someone’s living room here – oh no. We are talking a full stage, full lights, full professional sound system, on a real stage, all in one of the most intimate, outdoor settings you can imagine!

This is the kind of thing that makes the Austin area such a great place to be a band, and such a great place to be the kind of person who likes to go see live music! That’s you, right?

The show is BYOB, and we recommend you bring your own chairs too. The event is advance ticket ONLY, open to everyone 12 and up, and you can get tickets by calling 512-658-7737 or visit The Beacon website at www.thebeacongeorgetown.com. Tickets are $27 (which includes tax).

New Partnership And Upcoming Shows

We’re pleased to announce a new partnership with The Music Playground in NYC. We’re hoping for some great things out of this relationship, not the least of which should be doing some showcases back in the home territories. Check ‘em out at www.themusicplayground.com.

Quick announcement on some upcoming shows. We’ll be playing the Hole In The Wall on May 18th, full lineup to be announced with our event invite.

Also, look for us in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth and Georgetown in June. We’ll announce those officially in short order.

Here’s our full SXSW schedule

Here is our full SXSW schedule, and a handy flyer that you should feel free to print out and carry around with you, readily available to flash at interested parties. Hell, print up a handful – you never know, right?
