The list for SXSW 2009 grows

We have been keeping our eyes and ears open for SXSW 2009 band announcements, making note of every band who will be performing in the 512 during SXSW, and the list continues to grow with each new day. While many of the hot, buzz-worthy acts are still keeping their announcement close to the vest, there are plenty of artists more than willing to let us know their plans for March 18-22. We will have dozens of foreign visitors, Welsh, Scottish, Australian, Alaskan, Norwegian, Brazilian, Irish, those countries and more will be represented at SXSW this year.
Once again, this is not an official list. These bands will be seen anywhere from day parties at the Yard Dog Gallery, to the patio at Artz Rib House, and of course at official SXSW showcases. Keep an eye on SXSW.com for all official announcements.
Following up on our first two band announcements (Round 1, Round 2,) here is Round 3. The master list (still a work in progress) will be found at Do512.com/sxsw2009/bands. That page will also soon feature a super-easy way to keep track of the bands you want to see, and create your own custom SXSW schedule.

Me and My Arrow is from Minneapolis, MN. The myspace is http://myspace.com/meandmyringostarr. I see sometimes we’re listed as from San Francisco and sometimes we’re listed as from Brooklyn, NY. Split the difference and stop in the middle of the two cities.

All fixed. Although it says on your Myspace San Francisco so you may want to change that too

The Heart Attacks are not playing as they are on hiatus. Instead, Poison Arrows featuring Tuk and Portwood from The Heart Attacks, will be playing a show with The Queers and Cute Lepers.
