Band of Horses to play 'secret' ACL aftershow at the Parish Room

Submitted by cereal on Fri, 09/19/2008 - 10:33.

Rumors have been flying over the past few days about a purported secret Band of Horses Austin City Limits Music Festival aftershow. Sixth Street venue The Parish Room officially announced the show yesterday, so it's not exactly a secret anymore. And it's also not exactly a secret that we are ecstatic about this unexpected development - The Parish Room is a pretty small space, so this is sure to be an intimate/incredible experience. Fuck yeah!

Anyway, tickets went on sale at 10am today; they're $18 in advance, and $21 at the door. I wouldn't bank on getting them at the door, though - this show is guaranteed to sell out. Get 'em online here.

Opening for Band of Horses will be fellow ACL performers James McMurtry and the Heartless Bastards. A portion of the proceeds from the concert will benefit the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide access to affordable healthcare for Austin’s low-income, uninsured working musicians.

UPDATE: Looks like tickets have already sold out online. Not sure yet if any tickets have been reserved for sale at the door - will update if we receive any more information.
