...five full days of parties at Cheer Up Charlie's

Cheer Up Charlies

Todd P has been downplaying his participation in unofficial SXSW activities this year. He made people think he wasn't returning to Austin at all due to his latest effort in Mexico, the MtyMx Festival (March 20th-22nd in Monterrey).

Not only will he be in Austin, he's just announced five full days of shows at his old haunt Ms Bea's (though it's now called Cheer Up Charlie's). His final free Austin day show even overlaps with Mexico. That said, it looks like he did step away from SXSW at least a little bit. Almost every one of the lineups has a listed curator. You can check them all out below...

"Downplaying", as in directly saying that he wasn't going to do SXSW. Not sure why the turnaround, perhaps ticket sales for the Mexico thing are really slow, or else he wanted the SXSW people to think he wasn't going to do it because they've threatened to shut down the Ms. Bea's shows in the past.
Either way, looks like some great lineups.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha...que, Queen's Another One Bite The Dust! He can't stay away and he knew the Mexico thing was No Bueno!

Snoozzzerzzzzz

He said the Mexican thing is for Mexicans...

Posted by Anonymous | March 8, 2010 5:12 PM

You people have it wrong. He's not doing SXSW because Mexico is failing. He downplayed SXSW so people wouldn't be discouraged from buying Mexico tickets

Posted by Anonymous | March 8, 2010 5:13 PM

it was downplayed to fly under SxSW's radar... so they wouldn't pull strings and stymie the permit apps for Cheer Up Charlie's

well we can all sleep a little easier tonight.
thanks to you and you alone, todd prickhead! aka vivian girls' pimp

"Todd P has clearly riled up the SxSW office!"

this.

Is sxsw now threatening all these bands for playing a show other than their "official" showcase between 7PM and 2AM ???

Posted by Anonymous | March 9, 2010 12:08 AM

12:08 probably, they do that all the time.

there was supposed to be a Pitchfork showcase at Ms Bea's this year and SxSW bullied them into doing it "official" by threatening the bands that they couldn't play SxSW if they played Ms Bea's

Posted by Anonymous | March 9, 2010 10:13 AM

sxsw fucking hates this shit

obviously they got all the interns out bitching on the internet

As a person of Austin descent, and an increasingly short-tempered sxsw critic, I'm just shocked that this much negative attention is being directed toward shows that are being thrown for the benefit of locals/visitors who can't afford the horrendous wristband prices. Who ever heard of a music festival discouraging music? Apparently this town isn't big enough for the little guys anymore.

Posted by Anonymous | March 10, 2010 12:12 PM

it would definitely take a pimp to get those vivian girls bangin. mf's knees glued together and shiiiii.

Posted by Anonymous | March 10, 2010 12:22 PM

yeah for this...the more the merrier and bring the off grid on! haters...find something serious to bitch about...this is just music, not life or death. get over yourselves...

ROCK ON, guy who wrote this:

I think it's sad SXSW resorts to this. I hope more people find out about their bullying.
