22 Bands to See at SxSW 2010
Definitely check out Jonathan Tyler & the Northern Lights, pictured here with members of Hoyotoho at SxSW 2009
Judging by band names alone, I have been able to predict the best showcasing bands to see at SxSW 2010 for certain demographics.
Check ‘em out, listen to their music… or just judge a book by it’s cover, tell your friends, “Dude, their band name rocks!” and experience something new and unknown and possibly awful.

Oh there’s a list – I’ve not started on the SXSW planning yet, that’s for Jan 5th!
Right then, well straight away I’ve spotted some of my favourite bands. Fighting with Wire (http://www.myspace.com/fightingwithwire) from Ireland are just fantastic, and they also played last year so are expereince
Oh and Fyfe Dangerfield is in there as well (http://www.myspace.com/fyfedangerfield) and he’s got a great sound and stage presence.
I love the feeling of seeing bands that I spoke to years ago in a garage getting on the big music stages like South By… March is gonna be fun!
Did they have any fine Alternative Country bands play? And no, Im not redneck.
Don’t forget to see “Elle Bandita” from Holland, fellow tough girl like you! I think you will love it! Keep up the good work Jolie…
tiger! shit! tiger! tiger! and past lives
I love the photo of I Fight Dragons…what a great concept and shot. Truly a comical sense of humor!
Dude in the middle of the first photo looks a bit like Dave Grohl.
I’ve got the same superman t-shirt as the guy from I Fight Dragons, I don’t need to suck my guts in likehe is though ha
Don’t forget to see “Elle Bandita” from Holland, fellow tough girl like you! I think you will love it! Keep up the good work Jolie…
