SXSW 2012 unofficial shows & RSVPs

Andy Meyers — February 11

Note this is just the first page of our unofficial listings. Head to our second page for shows that are happening between March 15th and March 19th.

Like our listings for unofficial shows during CMJ, we are compiling a similar list for those of you hitting the action packed SXSW in Austin, Texas. Many of us will be there and we welcome anyone reading this to feel free to send inquiries, additional listings, or simply meetup info to info at myfreeconcert dot com. Enjoy. These listings will grow as it gets closer and closer to the festival, of course, so be sure to bookmark this page. Please note that we aren't listing shows that require a badge, are already sold out at the time of posting, or cost significant $$.

For those of you that don't have the time to sift through this entire list, we invite you to head to our overview page where you'll find links to daily highlights along with resources to help save you time and get you into the best shows.

Also, be sure to join our Facebook Event, which is a micro-community that will have updates and further discussion about the festival.
