Quintron
In case you needed another reason to visit Emo’s esteemed bathrooms one last time, this belligerent punk revue should get the legendary venue’s demolition started early. New Orleans’ theatrical night-clubber Jay Poggi, better known as Quintron, dragged the organ back into the garage with longtime partner Miss Pussycat. Latest Goner LP Sucre du Sauvage was recorded at NOLA’s Museum of Art and City Park. Mark Ryan’s Mind Spiders just finished a new album for February release, while Manatees and Flesh Lights provide the rhythm and bop, respectively.

Emo's Pre-SXSW Bash
Welcome to Austin; shuttle service to Emo’s is available downstairs. Please report to the concierge. Every SXSW Tuesday, Emo’s opens its gates to the new arrivals, giving the poor non-wristband folks a piece of the action. On the main stage will be Seattle biker punks Zeke, playing one of only two reunion shows since their breakup last year. Opening are the Lazy Cowgirls, Ignorance Park, and Zeke spin-off Camarosmith. Japan’s art-punk eX-Girl christen Emo’s new Annex stage, along with freaky aggro femmes Tribe 8, the dirty avant-blues of Skeleton Key, the acid rock of Areola 51 (ex-Butthole Surfers, Scratch Acid, Ministry), and the fractured tangerine pop of England’s KaitO. Playing inside are New Wavers the Start, local emo kids Manatee, and Armstrong (ex-Hagfish). That’s three for one!
