Local music super-bargain: SXSW bands for $3
Whether you're too light in the pockets to drive to Texas or you simply know a great deal when you see one, advance tickets for First Avenue's newly announced pre-South By Southwest showcase of hot local bands will cost you less than a sarsaparilla-soaked postcard from Austin. Scheduled for March 14 with a stunning $3 advance ticket price, the event boasts an eclectic lineup that includes Solid Gold, Sims from Doomtree, Jeremy Messersmith, First Communion Afterparty, The Idle Hands, and Bella Koshka—all sure to be in pre-festival euphoric overdrive. Consider also that the show starts at 5pm and PBR tall-boys are $2.50 in the 7th St. Entry until 11pm—it's the cheapest thrill this side of stealing a car.
