SXSW 2009: IHEARTCOMIX Official SXSW Showcase (3/19)

While it's an official SXSW showcase (free to badge/wristband holders), if you don't have a wristband you might want to get there early enough to be able to get in (pay a small cover at the door). Once inside, it's gonna be a DANCE Party!! The lineup is pretty sweet and features Frankie Chan, Designer Drugs, Heartsrevolution, Radioclit, and The Golden Filter (a band we've been really digging lately), and many more.

Spanning multiple genres and demographics, the bill will reflect the diverse tastes seen on CoS on a daily basis, while still maintaining an incredibly catchy flow, all with the intention of offering an evening that will not only attract fans of all types, but keep them glued to the action.
