This is a list of shows for the Austin area. It is by no means meant to be the Austin showlist, merely a showlist. It will not be limited solely to my tastes, but I will try my best to keep it within certain boundaries.
Any questions or comments or show listings can be sent to showlistaustin@yahoo.com. Bands, Artists, Clubs - if you have a mailing list, please add that address to it.
Change! - There is now a little [+] after the venue names. Click on it to see only shows at that venue. It's not perfect but I rolled it out anyway. Still working on it and other changes to come...
