​And so we join the SXSW deluge: Village Voice Media, the parent company of
SF Weekly, and
Frank 151 yesterday announced the details of our annual SXSW party: We'll deign to spare you any unfortunate lyrical references to the
Wu-Tang Clan but it is headlining. Other eyebrow-poppers you'll want to check out include Carrie Brownstein's new band,
Wild Flag (of whom
we approve), and a DJ set by
Erykah Badu. Oh and this year, the whole thing is free -- no wristband or badge required. Full lineup and relevant details after the jump.
The full lineup as announced:
Wu -Tang Clan
Fishbone
Erykah Badu DJ Set
YelaWolf
Trae Tha Truth
Marz Lovejoy
Rocky Business
Trouble Andrew
Wild Flag
Ume
Plus Special Guest Well, any party with
Fishbone on the same bill as slamming Austin rock trio
Ume has to be a mindbender. The thing goes down Thursday, March 17, 2011 from 5 p.m. - 2 a.m. at Austin Music Hall, 208 Nueces. More info on
this website, but, basically, show up before 8 and it's free! (No RSVP.) There's also a pre-party from 5 to 8:30 p.m.
So see you there?
