They almost waited until SXSW started, but Paste Magazine has just announced their SXSW day parties! Paste always has one of the more eclectic lineups, and this year it is no different. You can see country/folk artist Robert Ellis or the soft rocking Wild Cub or Jewish rapper, Matisyahu. There are a ton of other bands on the bill so get the details and check them out starting the first day of SXSW music.

This seems like a much smaller venue than what Paste has used before so RSVP here and show up early! Normally they are sponsored by a pretty good beer company so don’t expect it but there should be some free refreshments.
