Roky Erickson at the 2007 Ice Cream Social - more photos... photo by jeff barringer - contributing photographer |
Talking with Roky Erickson's people over the weekend I have confirmed that the Ice Cream Social is on again this year. Roky's annual event is scheduled for Thursday March 13th from 2:00pm until 7:00pm at
Threadgill's World Headquarters
at 301 West Riverside in Austin. Last years event saw Peter Buck of R.E.M, Robyn Hitchcock and Spoon show up to do sets, but as of yet there is no word on who this years lineup will be. I know that we will be there eatin
chicken fried steak and ice cream and enjoying the sunshine and the music. When we get the word, you'll get the word. In the mean time, swing on by Roky's web site over at

Well It's time to move the SxSW 08 list to its own page. I must have added another 20 or so bands since Saturday, and doubtless will be updating it again soon. To see the latest list of bands and artists both rumored and confirmed to be playing SxSW in Austin this year check out
