HOMEFRONT: SHOWS ON THURSDAY NIGHT

We're already getting some whips reporting in from our SXSW Text Message Field Correspondents, and we should have a summary up tomorrow once the reach a critical mass of sorts. In the meantime, there are a few shows worth checking out this evening for those of us still here. So, before we return to this mountainous tradeshow services order paperwork, here is where the rock come from:

Dizzy Pilot, Motion Turns it On, Corn Mo @ 3502 Leeland
HOUSE PARTY! Like the Crawfish Boil, this little gathering includes a Brooklyn band, Corn Mo, but it also features local swamp destroyers Dizzy Pilot and the ever instru-spiring Motion Turns it On. Five bucks gets you in the door and gulpin from the free beer promised by the promoters. Again, our standard Angry Dad warning applies about being respectful of people's homes so these sorts of things can happen again the the future.

An Albatross, The Apes, American Sharks, Kayo Dot @ G.R.A.B.
From some bulletin postings, we are surmising that there is an An Albatross DVD being filmed at present, and that if you are at this show, you'll get to see the miracle or the art of the science of the luck of just that sort of thing being put together. We're not too familiar with any of the out of towners, but American Sharks always brings the pain.

Also:
Ghost Buffalo, Git Some, Kingdom of Magic, This Year's Tiger @ The Mink
Ghost Buffalo and Git Some both feature former members of Planes Mistaken for Stars. This Year's Tiger remains eternally on our 'REMINDER: CHECK THEM OUT' list.

Question: Where are all the big little name acts this year? The Yeahsayers, Bon Ivers and Castanets of the world? Are we really so poor a destination?
