    The Austin Chronicle Hair of the 3-Legged Dog day party w/ Chief Cleopatra, Surfbort, TC Superstar, Yard Act

    As you’re already using the Chronicle for South By intel, may we politely direct you to our own annual party? On the Music team-picked lineup: Funny, verbose Leeds quartet Yard Act continues the UK’s reliable exportation of post-punk poetry. Joining the out-of-town punk side, L.A.-via-Brooklyn fivepiece Surfbort rose to staple status at Hotel Vegas for singer Dani Miller’s ferocious live performances, alongside drummer Sean Powell of Austin Nineties act Fuckemos. Continuing local connections: Our Austin-sourced stars include engaging soul-rock artist Chief Cleopatra, toting new EP Luna on Park the Van Records, and exuberant synthwave group TC Superstar, who consistently stuns with precisely choreographed contemporary dancers.

    Chili Dog Fest day one benefiting the Austin Humane Society w/ Crack Pipes, Yep!, Moist Flesh, Lovelorn, Black Mercy [parking lot]; Narrow Haunts, Mr. Opposite, Mikey Erg, Melissa Bryan [side]

    The annual Sunday SXSW comedown (and back up) returns and expands this year in both duration and geography, growing from its original Side Bar/Empire confines to kick off Friday and Saturday at Eastside restaurant Saddle Up. Chili Dog Fest organizer Doug Niemczura has programmed the three-day bash with a mix of reliable local faves (Crack Pipes, Loteria, TV’s Daniel, Gospel Truth) and visitors such as punk hero Mike Watt’s new project mssv, Cleveland sound sculptors Factual Brains, and southern rockers Lee Bains III & the Glory Fires (playing at Side Bar five consecutive days … pray for their livers). As always, door admission for Chili Dog Fest benefits local charities: Austin Humane Society (Fri./Sat.) and Central Texas Food Bank (Sun.). It’d be simplistic (but accurate) to think of the Sunday lineup as the closest we’ll ever get to a Beerland class reunion, lest we forget the beloved punk bunker around the corner closed in 2019 without a proper send-off. With two years of pandemic creating unexpected distance from that unfortunate turn, CDF’s lineup exists as a much-needed callback to Beerland’s loud/dirty/fuck-around-and-find-out guiding ethos.
