JANDEK in Austin, Texas: 15 March 2008

JANDEK will be performing as part of the Signal To Noise Magazine Showcase at Central Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas on Saturday 15 March 2008 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:45. For those without a SXSW badge or pass (I certainly would never buy one!), admission is $15. He is re-uniting the “Fort Worth Hoedown” band who played so well at the Rose Marine Theatre in FW last July (my review of this gig can be found on the Jandek discussion list): Jandek on vcl/harmonica, Susan Alcorn on steel gtr, Ralph White (ex-Bad Livers) on fiddle/banjo/various stringed instruments, Ryan Williams on bass, and Will Johnson on drums. The cost of admission gets you about six hours of music, also including the Nameless Sound Youth Ensemble, Christina Carter and Shawn McMillen, Space City Gamelan, and The Weird Weeds. Jandek is scheduled to perform 7:30-8:30 p.m. Last year’s Jandek performance at this same venue was standing room only. See you there!
