SXSW - We're In Texas!

The Paul McLoone Show is doing 3 broadcasts on the 17th, 18th and 19th of March from Austin, Texas, for SXSW 2010.

We will be tracking the progress of team Ireland there and broadcasting not only interviews but the bands showcase sets. The 3 days will culminate in a live simulcast of the Irish showcase gig from BD Reillys on the legendary 6th Street, Austin.  

All of this comes to you thanks to the kind folks at Culture Ireland and First Music Contact.


The bands attending are;

  • So Cow (Panache booking showcase)
  • Kiernan McMullan (The Bedford)
  • The Walls (Second Motion)
  • The Urges (Wicked Cool)
  • Autumn Owls (MFI)

As well as the Irish angle Paul will be getting a sense of  the characters and atmosphere that makes SXSW the legendary festival it has become.
