With the success of Psych Fest #1 still in the minds of psych-rock fans, organizers and Austin’s own, the Black Angels have set their minds to expand the 2nd installment of the music fest to 3 days in 2009. Not officially announced yet, but the word is that this year’s music fest is set to take place March 13-15th, a mere few days before the music portion of SXSW 2009 gets underway. With the indie music world positioning itself for it’s yearly spring takeover of Austin, TX, one can only speculate the number of acts potentially available for this year’s event. I have already heard the name Dead Meadow mentioned as possible acts for the event. Have I mentioned how much I love me some Dead Meadow?
Mark your calendar for March 13th-15th 2009, and get some sleep now. It’s gonna be a long week.

Gads, I wish they’d space it out some from SXSW…Talk about music overload and physical exhaustion.
Full lineup comes out Feb 5th… stay tuned.

Oooh, Wooden Shjips is on the bill! There’s no doubt, I’m gonna tough it out and go.
