Ecstatic Peace announce SXSW showcase

Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label has announced a showcase gig for this year's South By Southwest conference.

Why are we telling you this? 'Cause this bill is head-achingly avant-garde, and it's likely to boil our brains if we think about it too much. So, please: think on our behalf and then say whether or not DiS should cover the show while we're in Austin next month.

The line-up:

Stage 1
Thurston Moore (instrumental)
GoWN
Charalambides
Magik Markers
Tall Firs
MV+EE

Stage 2
Monotract
Black Helicopter
Pagoda
Thurston Moore Songz plus special guest
Sunburned

Will that dude from Last Days be there, that's what we want to know. The above all goes down at The Mohawk, at 912 Red River, on March 16. Attendees, click here for a map.

As previously reported, 4AD is also holding a label showcase at this year's SXSW (for the first time, ever) featuring Blonde Redhead and more. We'll be there, oh yes!
