AUSTIN - VICE SAVES TEXAS 2008

It's just about time for all the bands and horrible, horrible marketing types to descend on Austin, and once again we're putting on a bunch of different showcases at the Longbranch Inn, the Victory Grill, and elsewhere. This year the heavy sort of outweighs the lighter side of the lineups, what with High On Fire, Napalm Death, Enslaved and 1349 representing Norway, Abe Vigoda, Fucked Up, Annihilation Time, and headliners Motorhead. That's right, fucking Motorhead! We've also got Dark Meat and Howlin' Rain if you're into folkier stuff, Chromeo and the Death Set for the dancing, Psychedelic Horseshit and Black Moth Super Rainbow for the weirdos, and a bunch more bands whose names you can read by clicking the flyer and making it bigger. Oh, and rounding things out we'll be screening the feature-length version of VBS's Heavy Metal In Baghdad. Go here for more info. (PS: Click the band names for old interviews/live footage.)
