Heavy Metal Parking Lot 3: Two-Day SXSW Event Lineup Announced
The formidable likes of Pentagram, Weedeater, Bongzilla, Black Cobra, Kings Destroy, Lo-Pan, Mondo Drag, Venomous Maximus, Today is the Day and many more will take part in Heavy Metal Parking Lot 3 this March in Austin, Texas, as part of SXSW. A two-day event clustered in the madness that is the Texan capitol that week, Heavy Metal Parking Lot 3 is set for March 18 and 19 at The Lost Well, just north of 7th St., and far enough off 6th that if you happen to be in town for SXSW, it’s an easily-enough justified walk (stumble) by the righteousness of those on the bill. You might as well just camp outside the venue to be sure you get back there on the second day.
Or, you know, fall asleep in the gutter, because that’s kind of how it goes at SXSW, or at least it was the last time I was there. Though you can’t deny the wide reach of Heavy Metal Parking Lot 3 in bringing in its headliners from around the Midwest and East and West Coasts, it’s worth pointing out the particular attention paid to supporting local acts, among them Texan outfits like Venomous Maximus — who reportedly have a new album coming this year — as well as Banquet, Sweat Lodge, Destroyer of Light, From Beyond and so on. Cheers to American Icon Presents for making sure all sides are represented.
