Well after a Monday night filled with live music you are probably asking yourself, “What South By Southwest artist showcases should I make sure to check out on Tuesday?” Well I picked out two showcases that I am certain will do everything but disappoint. But you don’t want to start off your day filled with live music and alcohol on an empty stomach, do you? Of course not. Besides live music, Austin is known for its food trucks, more specifically its breakfast tacos. I would suggest either Torchy’s, Taco Deli, or Tacos Ricos on East Oltorf if you don’t feel like searching around.

My recommendation for Tuesday March 11th an incredible artist showcase at Cheer Up Charlie’s on Red River. This free showcase will supply plenty of awesome free live music at SXSW all day with no need of a wristband or badge for entry!

Tuesday:

All Day: Cheer Up Charlie’s – Doors at Noon

Residual Kid is a young grungy, indie, alt-rock band from right here in Austin, Texas. They have been consistently gaining local recognition within the Austin music scene, playing festivals such as Fun Fun Fun Fest and opening up for bands such as OFF! and Fucked Up. The band even recently finishing up recording with Dinosaur Jr frontman, J. Mascsis – how awesome is that? What is the kicker? None of these guys are even old enough to drive a car – mind blown. If this band does not explode after this year’s SXSW, it won’t be too long after before everyone in the America know’s these guys. Do yourself a favor and watch them play live at Cheer Up Charlie’s on Tuesday March 10th, or one of their many sets during South By Southwest 2014.

Banditos from Nashville, Tennessee brings an eclectic variety of influences that fuels the creativity into writing their songs. The band’s clear roots of Country, Folk, and Soul give their unique style that successfully pays homage to their musical elders, all while doing so ever so effortlessly. See Banditos live at Cheer Up Charlie’s on Tuesday March 10th, or at any of their other sets during SXSW 2014.

What is there to say about Calliope Musicals? Watching them perform live is an experience like no other. This local Austin band describes themselves as Indie, Psychedelic, Party Folk. Now, when a band has a musical styling description long enough to be a run on sentence I tend to disregard the description. When it comes to Calliope Musicals they hit the nail on the head pretty dead on. What made their live musical performance even better for me is that I could tell they completely enjoy playing music live, whether it is in front of a crowd of fifteen or five hundred. Go see Calliope Musicals live at Cheer Up Charlie’s on Tuesday, March 10th or catch them at any of their other sets during SXSW 2014.
