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.

SXSW week - as usual, I will NOT be listing official SXSW showcases. You will find them here, eventually. I will also not be listing day shows that require badges - SXSW will have them listed here.
I will try to find out as much as possible about other shows going on, daytime or otherwise. If you know of any, please let me know - showlistaustin@yahoo.com. Please try to get me the info in advance. Once Tuesday evening hits, I will probably not be listing any more shows.
Most of the day shows are free - just because I don't mark one as free doesn't mean it's not, it just means I don't know one way or the other.
A lot of my info comes from donewaiting.com. Please visit them as well!
Advertise! $20 will get you a 150x150px ad for the week of SXSW that will be seen by several thousand people a day!
