METALSUCKS AT SXSW 2008
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 at 12:07pm by MetalSucks
So it’s that time of year again, when hundreds of annoying hipster bands and hundreds of thousands of annoying hipster fans descend on Austin, TX for the five day non-stop drug and alcohol binge music festival South by Southwest. Whatwhat hipster rags like Brooklyn Vegan and Pitchfork (and I think even Stereogum) suddenly deciding they are now covering metal, this year actually sports a pretty impressive smattering of metal bands.
Though your esteemed editors Axl and Vince will not be attending this year (nor will Kip, whose friendship with the MetalSucks brethren was forged through a couple of all-night benders at last year’s festival), we’d like to introduce MetalSucks correspondent and talented writer Corey Mitchell, who will be giving us a day-by-day account of the various metal goings-on in Austin. You may also know him as MetalSucks commenter LiquidMan666. We’re psyched to have Corey on board.
After the jump, a full list of the events Corey will (God willing) be attending. It’s also a pretty comprehensive collection of all metal-related happenings at SXSW, so if you’re going to the festival you might want to check it out. And of course, feel free to send any show or party tips / reviews / whatever to news [at] metalsucks.net.
SXSW GOES METAL

MetalSucks commenter LiquidMan666 was kind enough (or just bored at work) to compile this list of MetalSucks-friendly artists playing this year’s edition of SXSW, the yearly Austin, TX music festival usually dominated by flavor-of-the-moment indie rock turds. Is metal finely getting a fair shake in the music community at large? The following bands are confirmed to be playing SXSW official showcases, which says nothing of other bands who might be playing day parties or unaffiliated shows:
High on Fire, Between the Buried and Me, Blue Cheer, Enslaved, 1349, At All Cost, Fucked Up, Yakuza, Vvervvolf Grehv, Weedeater, Tub Ring, Russian Circles, Alex Skolnick, Trio, The Warriors, Pissed Jeans, Graveyard, Goat the Head, Coliseum, Genghis Tron, and Roger Miret & The Disasters.
Sadly MetalSucks will not be throwing down at this year’s 5-day booze and drug bender music festival. Throw your horns in the air for us.
