The Good The Bad are proud to announce their impending debut into American territory with a much anticipated, action-packed trip to Austin, Texas next week. The band have been selected from over 10,000 applicants to play the much-lauded SXSW festival and arrive earlier than most artists on 15 March, after having been invited to support Billy Bragg, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly and Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters) at a special gig supporting Strummerville and Jail Guitar Doors at the British Music Embassy.
Building up to their official showcase on Saturday 20 March, TGTB have several other raucous gigs, all listed below. Watch this space throughout the festival as the band attempt to fight off the temptations of world-beating barbeque munch and gallons of Shiner Bock in order to bring an up-to-speed account of what's going on Stateside. Because everyone knows The Good The Bad like to give rather than take.
