March 19, 2012 - Keeping with tradition, St. Patrick's Day celebrations took place during the annual SXSW music festivities, this time on Saturday (3/17), resulting in plenty of green clad party-goers out to live it up big on the unofficial final night of the conference.
March 21, 2011 - The musical layout for Day Four of SXSW 2011 featured, among other things, the big surprise reveal of the Perez Hilton Party headliner at the Moody Theater: Dirty Vegas. The Hilton event also featured Liz Phair and The Pretty Reckless, and it kicked off in grand celebrity style complete with a red carpet and paparazzi. The absolute antithesis in style was the Rachel Ray Feedback party across town at Stubb's. It showcased Wanda Jackson and Bob Schneider, among others, and with a 10 a.m. start time it clearly catered to hardcore down-to-earth folks.
March 2, 2009 - Austin's own Bob Schneider doesn't quite fit into any one musical genre. The singer/songwriter sometimes churns out down-on-his-luck, country-tinged rock songs, other times tongue-in-cheek rap numbers. Their one similarity: intricate, sometimes indecipherable but altogether hauntingly beautiful lyrics. Known to pack the house on a regular basis, his SXSW sets will surely draw a crowd, particularly with the impending release of a new album entitled "Tarantula," featuring his most recent single, "40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)."
November 7, 2008 - Singer/songwriter Bob Schneider is hitting stages this month and next on a club jaunt behind his latest studio creation, last year's "When the Sun Breaks Down on the Moon."
September 12, 2008 - Evacuations have been ordered and businesses, including concert venues, are closed as the Houston area braces for the wrath of Hurricane Ike.
