From the makers of 2009’s run away SXSW success The Hat Game, SlingShot have produced a game that will break out of the norms of the conference and challenge notions of how to behave in a technology-driven environment. Follow him at @thetweeture. And don’t forget to look out for this beast in the corridors, bars and events of SXSWi 2010.

event::about  The Shins' warm, amiable sound may be running out of gas, but it's looking like Surfer Blood might manage to grab the reins of James Mercer's jangly pop caravan. The Palm Beach lads made waves with single "Swim (To Reach The End)," a reverb-drenched track that defines Surfer Blood's calling card: walls of fuzz meshed with sing-along hooks. Expect the Shins comparisons to persist throughout the bands early careervocally, lead singer John Paul Pitts could be Mercers brotherbut theres ample time for this newborn act to refine its sound. The band's much-anticipated debut record,Astro Coast, hit stores in early 2010 to overwhelmingly positive reviews. Sleigh Bells, Surfer Blood, G-Side, Local Natives

eventtype  Unofficial Party
event::about  From BrooklynVegan.com: So a few weeks ago,I sat down with Crustcake.com and Rich Hall (1000 Knives) to decide the greatest Austin venue for a metal show. BrooklynVegan metal is already going HUGE this year between a show on 3/17 at Emo's (with Torche, Fucked Up, Salome, Dark Castle, The Atlas Moth, Javelina and more TBA), and another day party at Red 7 on 3/20 (lineup TBA), so we figured why not go small. REALLY small. BrooklynVegan/Crustcake/1000 Knives Present a Pizza Party at Hoeks Death Metal Pizza! The day show happening on Thursday, March 18th will be headlined by a special guest we can't announce yet and feature nine of our favorite destroyers. This show promises to be one of the biggest- um, I mean SMALLEST metal shows during SXSW. Who's on board? Anyone from or who's been to Austin knows Hoeks. Even if you've never eaten there you can't miss their appropriately themed locale, conveniently located right on 6th Street between Red River and Neches. It's practically spitting distance from Emo's. The show itself will take place in the new venue that is actually the backyard of the restaurant.

event::about  Teaming up with the ever popular Rock It Out! Blog, we’re proud to present the line up for our first annual joint day party, which all goes down Friday, March 19th at Republic Live. And as usual, the entire event will be free! That said, the capacity for the event will be limited to 500 or so lucky individuals, so it’s probably a good idea to get there early in order to guarantee admission for this very, very intimate affair. Doors will open at 12pm and the party will run until roughly 5:30pm. If that weren’t enough, the event will also be sponsored by The Nerdy Show and Game Over Videogames, who will be handing out exclusive coupons and setting up a vintage gaming station, where attendees can play classic 8-bit NES games — especially each Mega Man installment, in keeping with The Protomen theme. Additional details, including set times, accommodations (Liquor! Red Bull! Waffles!), will be announced in the weeks ahead. We may also provide a few opportunities to get on the guest list. So, stay tuned! Chaperone, Light Pollution, Male Bonding, Surf City, Look Mexico, The Happy Hollows, Sweet Apple, Hurricane Bells, You Say Party! We Say Die!, The Protomen

This year’s festivities will feature a lineup made of some of the hottest up-and-coming outfits in music, including — second drum roll, please — The Protomen, You Say Party!

event::about  The Heart of Texas Quadruple Bypass Music Festival features the best in unsigned talent that Austin and the surrounding southwest region have to offer, as well as some of the best indie artists from across America and beyond. Launched in March 2000, the first Heart of Texas Quadruple Bypass Music Festival started humbly with one venue and sixteen bands in downtown Austin. Now in its 11th year, the 2010 Texas Rock Fest will boast hundreds of indie acts on four downtown outdoor stages. Motivated by the desire to support and promote the best yet-to-be discovered talent rising from the burgeoning Texas alternative rock scene, the event is strategically scheduled to coincide with Austin's annual South bySouthwest (SXSW) Interactive Media, Film and Music Festival. Over 23,000 entertainment professionals are expected to attend the ten days of interactive multi media, film, and music events, conferences, and trade shows in Austin. The 11th annual Heart of Texas Quadruple Bypass provides one more good excuse for music industry executives and cutting edge in/die bands to come to Austin in March.

Hexadecagon (With The Octopus Project)

eventtype  Unofficial Party
Host Organization(s)  The Octopus Project
event::about  Hi everybody! We're tremendously excited to announce the project we're knee-deep in creating right now... As you may have guessed from the title of this web page, it's called HEXADECAGON. That's the geometrical term for a sixteen-sided object, and we chose it because the show we're working on is being written for an eight-channel sound and eight-channel video system: a sixteen-sided audiovisual panorama! The eight speakers will be set up in a circle surrounding the audience, who will in turn be surrounding us (the band), set up in the middle of the whole shebang with eight images projected overhead. With this setup in mind, we can send all or part of the music spinning around in a circle or jumping from point to point across the space, or put completely different elements in each speaker, putting you and us in the middle of a crazy array of sounds. Add to that the video, which can run in tight synchronization with the sounds (following them around the circle) or behave completely differently, and the possibilities are endless! We're having a blast inventing these songs, building the electronics (the Bend Matrix from 4MS Pedals pictured above) / working with the software (Ableton Live, VDMX, OSCulator) we need to make this happen, and shooting the video (our pal Wiley Wiggins is running the video department - thanks, Wiley!). And maybe the best part is that the show will be FREE! We're doing two performances on Friday, March 19 on the rooftop plaza of Whole Foods at 6th & Lamar. This is during SXSW, but you won't need a badge or wristband or anything, and it will definitely be all ages. Capacity is very limited though (around 600), and admittance will be on a first-come, first-served basis, so we urge you to make plans accordingly. We'll post more info on times and things you might need to know to attend as details develop. Watch this space! There aren't enough synonyms for 'excited' to describe how enthused, ecstatic and generally psyched we are to share this with you - hope it sounds like a good time to all y'all and that you can make plans to party with us! Love, The Octopus Project --UPDATE-- The kind folks at Whole Foods have agreed to let us move the show from the upstairs plaza to the front parking lot AND it's now going to be held under a huge, crazy tent designed by Art Seen Alliance (take a look at the pic to the right)!! The projections will be shown on the roof of the tent, which will be visible from both inside and outside of the tent. Things just got a million times more awesome! Music and videos are coming along supremely well! We can't wait to show you guys! This whole thing is gonna be intense! Thanks a million times over to Danielle at Big Green House, Michael at Whole Foods, Dallas & Warren at Art Seen Alliance, Damon at Nomad Sound, Bryan Richie, all of our sponsors, and of course the fantastic and amazing Wiley Wiggins for making this whole thing a reality. Everybody has been working around the clock and we immensely appreciate all of their hard work! Love, The Octopus Project

Host Organization(s)  Brooklyn Vegan / M for Montreal
event::about  I've been announcing individual bands on this party before now. Finally we have the full exciting lineup! You know M For Montreal as the Canadian festival we've visited for two years in a row. Their yearly festival showcases bands from their home city in their home city, and they take that show on the road each year to both CMJ in NYC and SXSW in Austin (we already announced their official 2010 night showcase). Being that we are such huge fans of so many Montreal bands, I thought it would be a great idea see if they wanted do a party together... and here we are. The lineup mixes some of our favorite Montreal bands with some or our other favorite Canadian (like Jason Collett of Broken Social Scene) and non-Canadian bands (like Andrew WK). We have 13 bands total, a DJ set by another band, free ice cream from the Ice Cream Man (some of which is vegan), free vegan food courtesy of Austin's own Daily Juice and other surprises (drink specials on this particular party are pending). We're also proud to announce that KEXP is the official radio sponsor of all BV day parties this year. You'll find them, video cameras in hand, at many of our day parties throughout the week including this one. Those in attendance at this show will also have a chance to check out and win a pair of Nudie Jeans (another one of our kind sponsors). Also unlike any other BV day party, this one is officially part of SXSW. That does NOT mean you need a badge. NO BADGES REQUIRED for this free show, but you will find the party listed on SXSW.com (and you can add it to your schedule on there).

But now BrooklynVegan, in association with Tee Pee Records, Chronic Youth and Converse, is proud to announce 'Attitude Adjustment' at Red 7 in Austin on Saturday, March 20th from Noon to 6PM! The free show will pair some of the greats in hip hop with brutal hardcore, all while a riff-stravaganza destroys the other stage. You've been warned. We're also happy to report, that like at two of four other shows this year, we'll be serving FREE Magic Hat beer (while supplies last). You'll also be able to grab a free Raw Revolution bar if you get hungry at the party. The Red 7 show is one of MANY BrooklynVegan shows during the festival this year, and one of four that involves metal. The other three are the two stage Emo's shindig with Torche and Fucked Up on 3/17, the Profound Lore/20 Buck Spin Official showcase on 3/19, and the BV/100Knives/Crustcake Pizza Party on 3/18. Actually it's five if you count the M for Montreal show on 3/20 with VOIVOD. Other non-metal BV shows include our official showcase on 3/17 with Califone, Serena Maneesh and more, and the BV/Anso party on 3/18 with Tyvek, Cheeseburger, and many more, and our day party at Club DeVille on 3/19 with Lucero, The Antlers and others. Half of this stuff is still not fully announced. Stay tuned. The Red 7 show will also be one of two hip hop events we are involved with at SXSW this year.
