Makeaquick.com is at SXSW the Hottest Ticket TONIGHT!





Hey! It’s Dani from www.makeaquick.com, so we promised to bring you updates from SXSW in Austin, Texas. GEZ! Everyone is buzzing, twittering and so on about all of the bands performing. Other people are throwing “SXSW can Suck It!” parties in LA, mostly because they are jealous they can’t be in Texas, which I swear is the only time anyone will ever be jealous that they aren’t in Texas… Last night we split up and got to check out the legendary Roky Erickson w/ The Black Angels at Austin Music Hall. Others went to go check out the awesomeness that is Camera Obscura and The Bronx at Red 7 Patio. We Looooveeee The Bronx, especially “White Tar”.

The final group went to go show support for the HUGE night of Canadian Acts at the Last Gang/Paper Bag Showcase @ The Habana Calle 6 Patio featuring Lindie Ortega, Winter Gloves, Magneta Lane, Wood Hands and Mother Mother. All very good, Mother Mother was the hot ticket at CMW as well.

In addition, TIMA 2008 “Best Pop” Nominee Emma Lee performed at St. David’s Church at midnight.

The hottest ticket tonight? According to our friend Eric Alper of Koch Entertainment, Metallica’s Secret Show - but otherwise, there are some pretty amazing acts performing…so many we don’t know where to start, really - there is sooo much! If you dig urban music check out K’naan, who you may have heard most recently on MTV protesting the economic status of the US between your weekly dose of The Real World. He is performing today as part of an “AfroPunk” showcase with London Soud, Janelle Monae, Dallas Austin & Big Boi of Outkast @ Austin Music Hall.

If you’re feelin’ somethin Canadian: Sam Robert’s Band and Arkells are playing tonight at Cedar Street Courtyard in succession starting at 8:30pm. Six Shooter has a showcase tonight at The Velveeta Room with Jenn Grant, Elliott Brood, Melissa McClelland, Luke Doucet and NQ Arbuckle, starting at 9pm.

Emo’s Main Room: Cut Off Your Hands 11pm and Peter Bjorn and John @ 1am.

But I think we are alllll planning to check out the Sub Pop Showcase at Radio Room Patio!!!! YAY!
