BBC America on Tumblr

Announcing the BBC America Roadhouse at SXSW Interactive

If you’re going to be in Austin next weekend for SXSW, be sure to stop by the BBC America Roadhouse at Brush Sq Park at E 4^th & Trinity on March 8 and 9. Here’s why:

Friday we’re featuring a night of British music with Frank Turner and Skinny Lister, hosted by television presenter Georgie Okell. After that there’s a Friday night set by the legendary DJ Mel who recently spun for President Obama’s Inaugural Ball in January.

Saturday morning you can catch Ireland vs France at the Six Nations Rugby viewing party and then video remix DJ Eclectic Method will perform a tribute to 50 years of the iconic television series Doctor Who.

And on both days, you can get bucked by Lord Humphrey, the bucking mechanical English bulldog and recharge at Gizmodo’s phone detention charging station.

And we’ll be there the entire weekend, liveposting to Tumblr from each day’s events so be sure to drop by and say hello.
