toddle plays SXSW 2008

Just when I was about to write off SXSW 2008, I scanned the list of showcasing artists, and toddle is listed. OMGWTFBBQ! I guess a wristband is in my future. Too bad my company bonus and tax return have already been spent on motherboard troubles early last month.

Had I the cash to drop on a badge, I could also attend the Steve Reich interview with Thurston Moore. I wonder if Steve Reich and Musicians are going to have a special guest showcase? That would be cool. Maybe someone can do an impromptu performance of Clapping Music.

Here are the bands from Japan so far listed, including those previously announced for Japan Nite:

  • aonami
  • Avengers in Sci-Fi
  • Damage
  • detroit7
  • Dokkebi Q
  • The Emeralds [Good fucking Lord, not again]
  • ketchup mania
  • Maki Rinka
  • Petty Booka
  • The Pillows [That showcase is going to be insanely packed]
  • Quartz-head 02
  • Sodopp
  • toddle [!!!!]
