WFMU teams up again this year with our pals at Aquarius Records in San Francisco to drop a 14-band live extravagaza in Texas! Once again, we'll be hosting our very own showcase at SXSW in Austin, and broadcasting live. It all happens on Friday, March 19th at 7pm (central) at Encore (formerly Spiro's) on 611 Red River downtown. Our lineup is a mix of some heavy, damaged, darkly, punk, weird, noisy, poppy, trippy sounds, some hometown NY/SF heroes representing in Austin, and even a full on Cambodian psych-pop dance party at night's end!

Coming up Monday, March 22 from 12-3am on the Brother Lucy show with Kurt Gottschalk: experimenter, inventor, innovator and provocateur Jon Rose doesn't just play the violin, he is about the violin. He has played with and played off of violin history and iconography through recordings, books, theatrical productions and film. He is also one of the world's preeminent barbed wire fence players (recently performing at Issue on an excerpt of a 3,500 Australian dingo fence!). He visits WFMU to talk about his instruments and his passions. Read more on the Free Music Archive!
