Matt has not put this up on his website yet and this was posted on the C&C site over a month ago. Anyone know if Matt will be on this showcase?

[here is no why]

not sure... but i'm friends with the guys in Attack in Black, grew up with them. I can ask whenever they come online and see fi it's true.

Hopefully, it won't be a pain in the ass to get into (as SXSW shows usually are).

Matt Good and Destroyer on the same bill would be cool.

 

City and Colour though :/

how exactly do you get tickets? all i can see are the $600 passes

The festival only sells all-event passes. They don't offer day passes.

 

Most cases, if you don't have a pass, you have to line up at the venue. For a high percentage of SXSW shows, you wait outside until all of the passholders fill in. Once they've decided there's enough room, they let non-passholders in. Usually a cover, but sometimes, you might luck out and get in free.

 

For those things to happen, it helps to be catching an unknown band at a bigger venue. It's hard to gauge how this show will be received - but I would gamble it will be difficult to get in without a pass. Momo's has a capacity of 300. Matt might pull that on his own.

 

I would sooner fly to another town to catch Matt than risk that mess.

I think we will to the San Diego show. There is no guarantee that anyone who goes to SXSW will even get into the show. Besides San Diego is a lot closer to Phoenix than Austin.
