Austinites looking for a post SXSW fix didn't have to wait long with the big Megadeth show at Stubb's last week, but for those not lucky enough to get tickets to the sold out gig, there are lots of other road shows coming to whet your appetite.
Metalheads can continue polishing their moshing technique at Hammerfalls gig at Emo's with Echoes Of Eternity and Havok on April 7th or if your looking for something a little more mainstream, Kenny Loggins is at The Paramount on the same night. Ani DiFranco plays the Paramount April 9th, the same night Spyro Gyra stop at the One World Theater.
Elton John will be returning to play the Frank Erwin Center on April 10th, the same night blog fav's Vampire Weekend do a sold out gig at Stubb's, and if you still can't find anything to do there is the Swamp Thing And Crawfish Festival the same night with Papai Mali, Dr. Zog and more downtown.
Pat Metheny plays the Paramount on April 14th, the same night Old 97's and Ben Kweller are at Stubb's. Acid Mother's Temple brings the noise to Emo's outside on April 17th, while metalheads can catch High On Fire on the inside stage (if they can cram in).

Primus frontman and club kingsnake fav Les Claypool brings his solo tour to Stubb's April 19th, Slightly Stoopid plays Stubb's the following night, followed by George Clinton and PFunk on April 21st.
Tiësto will be playing the Austin Music Hall on April 23rd, Steve Forbert plays the diminutive Cactus Cafe on April 24th down on the UT campus, while comedian Steve Martin brings his banjo and a band for a bluegrass set the next night at the Long Center on April 25th. ZZ Top plays the new Backyard April 25th and we are really hoping for an invite to see the new venue.
The metal gods smile again over at Emo's on April 26th with Overkill. Evile, God Dethroned, Vader, Warbringer and Woe Of Tyrants. The next night Sonata Arctica Mutiny Within and Powerglove play Emo's, and then on April 28th Awesome Color plays Emo's, if your not at the Coheed & Cambria gig up the street at Stubb's. Phoenix plays Stubb's the following night, April 29th, and ending the April calendar at Stubb's with The Dead Weather.
