The second annual Mess With Texas party is set to take place on Saturday, March 15th in Austin at Waterloo Park. It will feature many of today's up-and-coming and established indie acts that will be in Austin for SxSW. Leading the bill are the recently re-united Breeders, punk rock mainstays NOFX, Canadian folksters Islands and English electronic duo Simian Mobile Disco. The musicians are also going to be sharing the stages with many of today's headlining comedians including Janeane Garofalo, Todd Barry, Brian Posehn and Human Giant (Aziz Ansari, Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer). The best part about this event is that it is FREE!
