Everybody's favorite guy named Lemmy will be bringing Motörhead to SXSW this year, according to 2 separate sources. Motörhead are currently in L.A. laying down tracks for a new disc but will come to Austin to play the Scion day party. More details as they become available.
Serj Tankian, frontman for System Of A Down, will not only be playing the Body of War showcase at Stubb's on Thursday, but also has his own showcase later that night at La Zona Rosa. Of course the Body Of War showcase also includes Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello and "Special Guests". I'm torn because I am otherwise committed and it will take an act of god for me to catch either set.
Speaking of those "Special Guests", the Foo Fighters are popping up on the SXSW rumor screen again. Seems that their tour, which has an unexplainable gap during SXSW week, currently has two opening acts, Serj Tankian and the band Against Me!. Both of those acts are slated to play SXSW. My sources are telling me that there is a good chance that we could see Dave Grohl pop up as one of those "Special Guest's" and maybe, just maybe, a full Foo Fighters showcase.
