Since these shows are open to Austin Psych Fest Weekend Pass holders, you'll want to arrive early as the clubs will hit capacity well before the headliners go on. I also expect it won't be easy to jump from one venue to the other so you'll really want to study those line-ups. If you're trying to get the most bang for your buck, you should start at the Mohawk because they open their doors at 6:30. The first set at Red 7 won't be until 9.

So, let's go through the schedule shall we? I can already tell you there are going to be a couple of scheduling conflicts when you'll want to see two (or more) bands performing at the same time but last year it was really easy to move between stages and they timed the sets out in a way that was conducive to catching the majority of both sets. Below you'll find a list of artists I like. There are other artist playing who are not listed below, I may or may not like them but they didn't make this list. If you're really into them, that's cool. Maybe they're not listed because I haven't heard them, maybe they're not listed because I don't like them, maybe they're not listed because I got too psychedlic before I wrote this and forgot. Buyer beware and all that jazz.
