Paste Reveals SXSW 2010 Party Lineups

More than 1,800 bands are now on the schedule for next month’s SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, and Paste is happy to announce our affiliated shows. You can find us at the Galaxy Room (formerly Bourbon Rocks) March 17 and 18.

Brought to you by Bay Area Tone, To Write Love On Her Arms, Izze, Sierra Nevada, Busted Tees, 5-Hour Energy, UV Vodka and Limelight, each day party will feature 11 acts on two stages. Wednesday headliners include Frightened Rabbit and Roky Erickson, the latter of which will be backed for the third year in a row by Okkervil River. Thursday, Dinosaur Jr.‘s Lou Barlow will play with his Missingmen, and Decemberists Jenny Conlee, Nate Query and Chris Funk will appear with fellow Portland musicians as Black Prairie. Each day we’ll showcase some of the best new music, including our CMJ favorites Freelance Whales, Suckers, Free Energy and Aussie up-and-comers The Middle East. Doors open each day at 11:30 a.m., which, incidentally, is also when the free beer (while supplies last!) starts pouring. There will be free Izze all day both days.

Friday, we’re partying with Vanguard Records and Sugar Hill Records at The Belmont from noon to 6 p.m. Black Prairie will join us again with a special guest. The afternoon will also feature Greg Laswell, Daphne Willis, Sarah Borges and The Broken Singles, Sarah Jarosz, Bobby Bare Jr., The Living Sisters (Inara George, Becky Stark, and Eleni Mandell) and The Watson Twins.
