Waterloo Records releases schedule for free parking lot shows during SXSW
As usual, Austin’s famous indie record store will be a great place to catch fantastic free public shows throughout SXSW music festival. As has been the case for the last several years, Waterloo will transform its parking lot into an outdoor stage while hosting smaller acts on the inside for music fans who want to do something really novel like, you know, buy music while they take in copious amounts of blissful free noise.
Waterloo dropped the excellent lineup in store for music fans last week, but today released a day by day breakdown. Brit-rockers Tribes, Foxy Shazam and Bass Drum of Death kick things off on Wednesday. Thursday features performances from Blitzen Trapper and Norah Jones, wearing her cowgirl boots with The Little Willies, as well as ACL Fest faves Lucero. Friday packs an insane lineup including underground hip-hop hero Talib Kweli, reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, Of Montreal and soon-to-be-huge round-the-way-boy Gary Clark Jr. Saturday rounds things out with Youth Lagoon, Nada Surf, Love Inks and more. Full schedule after the jump.
