We're having our second annual pre-SXSW music show/party on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at Red 7 (611 E 7th St, Austin, TX 78701).    Here's some more info on the 3/17 show with more forthcoming.  We can tell you now that Madball will also be playing.  If you are in town for SXSW or can come out, please do...and spread the word by any means possible.

Similar to last year (where we had a one time only Black Flag tribute band aptly titled Nervous Breakdown), the headlining band will be a one time only Minor Threat cover band (e.g. the band's not playing any other shows together ever) featuring:

• Guitar
• Zach Blair (Rise Against, GWAR, Only Crime, Armstrong, Hagfish)
• Drums
• Luke Abbey (Gorilla Biscuits)
• Bass (Split Set)
• Mike Herrera (MxPx, Tumbledown)
• Rob Marchant (Riverboat Gamblers, Slowride, Saboteur)
• Vocals (Split Set)
• Frank Carter (Gallows)
• Sam Ghanbar (Complete Control)

Here are some links to the rest of the pre-show line-up in descending order:

• Death In The Park (Andy Jackson from Hot Rod Circuit's new band) - http://www.myspace.com/deathinthepark
• Mike Herrera's Tumbledown (MxPx frontman's alt-country band) - http://www.myspace.com/tumbledowncountry
• True Widow - http://www.myspace.com/truewidow
• The Ramonahs [crossdressing Ramones cover band featuring Oliver Peck and Steve Viseanu (Slowride/Saboteur/The Queers)]
• The Escape Frame  - http://www.myspace.com/theescapeframe

There will be a cover of $10 and tickets will be available ahead of time, but anyone can get into the show (no SXSW passed/badges required and the show is all ages) pending there's room.

The show will also be sponsored by our friends at Vans, Sailor Jerry, JakPrints, and Punknews.org.
