Oklahoma’s gonna hit Austin hard this year. Real hard.
Forty-four bands hard, in fact. And those are just the ones OKSee’s got listed so far. Thanks to the super-swell folks at
Buffalo Lounge, Friends Bar at 208 E. Sixth will be the focal-point hangout for Okies at this year’s installment of South by Southwest, boasting seven different music showcases. They are as follows.
Tuesday Oklahoma Film + Interactive + Music Event4-7 p.m.

You can find more information about these showcases at

OKSee is also excited to announce the return of former skipper Stephen Carradini and the addition of regular
Gazette music contributor Joshua Boydston to our SXSW coverage. We’ll be down there live-blogging all week long, so be sure to check back here — and on Twitter at
@okgazette,
@scarradini and
@okmattcarney — for photos and write-ups from Austin, starting next Tuesday.
Now on to the good part: OKSee’s been in touch with a ton of local musicians in a concerted effort to list all the shows — official and unofficial, Buffalo Lounge and otherwise — they’ll be playing during their visit to Austin. We’ll be updating this listing as shows are added, so please feel free to email me at mcarney[at]okgazette[dot]com if your band adds or has to cancel any shows.
See y’all in Austin!
