In case it hasn't gotten around, ASF will be playing the MidCoast Takeover at SXSW March 13-16th. Their set time is below.

Shangri-La
1016 E 6th
Austin, TX
9:45-10:15pm
www.midcoasttakeover.com

The MidCoast Takeover is an unofficial SXSW showcase featuring bands from the Midwest music scene (Mostly Kansas City & Lawrence, KS.) A Silent Film was recruited to participate by Jeriney of KC's 96.5 The Buzz, who has been a die-hard ASF fan since the beginning. Since KC seems to have a special place in the guy's hearts, they readily jumped on the chance.

If you're going to SXSW, this is obviously an excellent opportunity to see A Silent Film. HOWEVER, the Kansas City/Lawrence scene also has several amazing independent bands that are worth checking out. (I've just been discovering recently how wildly talented the artists of this region have become, and have been to several live shows. They do not disappoint!) If you visit the MidCoast Takeover link above, you can download a full compilation album of every band that will be included in the showcase. Two of my favorites are playing immediately following ASF, so please stick around to see another amazing live act!

Here are my personal recommendations:

Antennas Up (on stage after ASF)
The Architects (on stage after ASF)
Not A Planet (on stage before ASF)
Cowboy Indian Bear
Clairaudients
We Are Voices (on stage before ASF)
Hidden Pictures
The Noise FM
The Beautiful Bodies
