SXSW Night 2 Recommendations (Emo’s seems to be the likely place I’ll camp out):

Blackalicious - 6pm - Auditorium Shores (free to all)
Spoon - 7pm - Auditorium Shores (free to all)
Echo and the Bunnymen - 8pm - Auditorium Shores (free to all)
Flogging Molly - 10:15pm - Emo’s Main Room
Dresden Dolls - 11pm - Stubb’s
Gomez - midnight - Stubb’s
Gogol Bordello - 12:45pm - Emo’s Main Room
Eagles of Death Metal - 12:45pm - Exodus
Nada Surf - 1am - Parish

Here’s the list of Austin bands you should check out if you’re from out of town. I’m less inclined to see them during SXSW since I can see them many other times during the year for a longer performance and smaller crowds.

Golden Arm Trio - 8pm - Habana Calle 6
Ephraim Owens Quintet - 9pm -Elephant Room
Dixie Witch - 10pm - Red Eyed Fly
Honky - 1am - Red Eyed Fly
Hilary York - 1am - Oslo

Rumor is that Antone’s would be the most likely place to find Neil Young tonight.

Beastie Boys said in their interview yesterday that they were going to do a surprise show somewhere but declined to say where. Anybody know? Comment or e-mail me.

Update: Here’s some speculation on the Beasties. Does anyone know if it was the ATX Magazine Party last night?
