The Apache Relay

Since the showcase schedules just came out this week I'm going to pick my Plan A choices for each night.  Next week I'll hit the Plan B and C and start looking at the day parties.  The following week will be last-minute finds and/or summaries.  Only three weeks away!

Tuesday night (March 13th) is Night 1 of SXSW.  Typically we hang low and maybe go see a local show or something but this year there is a really good showcase I'd like to check out.  It's at the Bat Bar which is on 6th somewhere.  I hope it's big.  The show includes:

Polica- Already talked about them.
Caveman- also talked about them but never got to see them.
Yellow Ostrich-they were at ACL and I previewed them.
Ume-local Austin rock band that I've still never seen.  Need to change that.

That brings us to the 5th act on the bill:  the Apache Relay.  This is a band out of Nashville that plays Americana/Rock in the vein of Blitzen Trapper, Dr. Dog, and Nebraska-era Bruce Springsteen.  I like this song so that gives us 5 buzz bands on one bill.  Hopefully since it's Tuesday it won't be packed.  This would be a great showcase to see.

This line-up may just be worth me missing yoga and doing a double to make-up the class.
