The South by Southwest madness has already started here in Austin with the Film and Interactive festivals and SXSW Music officially starts on Wednesday. From various sources I have compiled a list of 59 Scottish gigs over the next few days. My head is already spinning.
Some caveats on this list. First of all, day parties almost always run late, and band cancellations are frequent. For the latest information on each band’s whereabouts their twitter feeds may be the best place. All of those are compiled in this twitter list: twitter.com/dearscotland/sxsw2012 . Secondly, the official showcases generally run on time but check www.sxsw.com for the latest information.
Some, but not all of these shows are featured on the massive free party lists here or here. You can also download the list below as a pdf here.
Thanks to the bands and bloggers who have been in touch with information, and if I’m missing something then email me or tweet.
Cheers.
