As we reported
here, first, The Black Crowes have canceled their SXSW appearance. As confirmed by Austin American Statesman writer
Joe Gross. According to the article posted by Gross the bands publicist confirmed “There has been a change of schedule and the group will not be performing there this year�.
What an unfortunate turn of events as the Saturday show at Stubb's was bound to be Saturday's A Ticket event. I know I was looking forward to that particular showcase.
In other SXSW rumor news, Les Claypool's chance for an appearance has dropped to nil, as he has announced remaining dates on his current tour that would conflict. He still has 1 day open on his schedule
so it is possible he might do a walk on, but the chance appears remote. I will be scratching him from the rumored list. Good news on the Beastie Boys rumor, maybe. The band has announced a second gig, this one in Mexico, on March 8th, the day after their set at Langerado. That indicates 2 things, the band is moving west, and they are booking more gigs in that time period. Maybe they will step into the Crowes boots over at Stubb's.
