You wouldn’t want to skip the madness of 6th St. entirely during SXSW – packed with some of the best shows all within easy walking distance, and always full of good people-watching, it’s really SX Ground Zero. But it would also be a shame to spend your entire SXSW without escaping to some of the venues more scattered across town…we’ll be picking out some of our favorite off-Sixth happenings and giving you details.
First up is Waterloo Records, which is hosting a daily outdoor party in their parking lot at (West) 6th & Lamar – just a straight shot across town from party central. They’ll have acts out in the Austin sun from noon to 7PM every day, including Sahara Smith (noon, March 16th), Black Joe Lewis (above, 5pm, March 17th), …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead (5pm, March 18th) and Hayes Carll (5pm, March 19th). Not to mention some not-too-shabby out-of-towners like Telekinesis, Wye Oak, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and J Mascis.
