Part of the beauty of South By Southwest is coming across bands you’ve never heard before and being able to see them in intimate settings. Houston bands get a more than fair chance of spreading the word about Space City’s talent at the IndieHouston.org party at Co-Lab in Austin on Friday, 3.20.09. 18 local bands and four national bands play from 10am -2am.

The following bands are scheduled to perform:

Buxton | Wild Moccasins | Young Mammals | Welfare Mother | Riff Tiffs | B L A C K I E | Sings | The Watermarks | Giant Princess | Tambersauro | The McKenzies | The Tontons | News On The March | Paris Falls | Japanther | DD/MM/YYYY | Muhammid Ali | The Mathletes | Romanteek | Future Blondes

Co-Lab is located at 613 Allen St Austin, TX 78702.
