SXSW SXSW the Casio Way '09: Free Beer for You AND Me
Posted by Seth Graves on Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 1:41 PM
Upon leaving Austin last year after four or five beer-flooded, sun-soaked days of rock 'n' roll, traipsing about town drunk off my keister and freeloading what food and beer I could find, I was already plotting my return on the 14-hour drive home. Well, the time has come again, and here I am packing, rubbing on a preemptive layer of sunscreen and bracing my liver for SXSW '09. While I've had to whore myself out to The Deli Magazine for press credentials, I'm hoping there are a few semi-sober minutes alotted in my day for some Cream updates as well. The sheer volume of bands on the bill is enough to induce a week's worth of acid flashbacks, but I've managed to assemble a growing list of shit I'm hoping to catch, which includes but is certainly not limited to Circle Jerks, The Thermals, HEARTSREVOLUTION, Max Tundra, Drop the Lime, Kid Sister, Ruby Isle, Casiokids, Dinosaur Jr., DEVO and Bishop Allen.
I'll be spending my St. Patrick's riding the bitch seat in a station wagon, but If all this talk of free beer action is making you feel left out, The Armed Forces are playing with Sexpipe at the Exit/In tonight and giving away free PBR. I hope this is a lesson to other shitty bands in the area: Giving away free beer may not make us like you, but it will at least ensure that we'll come see you play.

shut up ARMED FORCES, I decided a long time ago I wasn't gonna like you, and neither were my friends!
Its not that I've specifically heard your music myself and decided not to like you, I just overheard through a thing that I shouldn't. So get ass cancer and die already!
