First, an update on yesterday's blog entry regarding Cursive. A number of people wrote in asking what happened to Cornbread Compton, Cursive's drummer who didn't appear with the rest of the band for last Friday night's performance on Late Night with David Letterman. Jason Kulbel of Saddle Creek Records wrote to explain that Cornbread had "work related things that prevented him from being able to tour."

Moving on...

I used to head to The Dubliner on St. Patrick's Day. But with SXSW just a couple days away, I'll be lying low this year, perhaps only dropping in at Burke's Pub for a pint of Guinness. There's a ton happening tonight in Benson -- a.k.a. Little Ireland. Over at The Waiting Room those Irish lads known as The Black Lips are playing a show with Gentleman Jesse And His Men, and Brimstone Howl. $12, 9 p.m. Meanwhile, down at The Barley St. Tavern, Brad (the Bard of Killarney) Hoshaw is hosting a party with performances by himself, Kyle Harvey, Adam Hawkins and Matt Cox, all for $5.
