Can’t keep your pants on waiting for SXSW? Neither can the bands. The Bay area’s Mates of State give you the go-ahead to drop your drawers for a preconference preview of not only the duo’s festivaltivities, but also their upcoming Barsuk release Bring It Back, where the reigning indie couple of candy-floss cute grow out of their syrupy synthness. Austin’s Sound Team breaks out the full sonic playbook complete with enough misdirection to make your defense useless. Houston’s Spain Colored Orange also open. - Michael Bertin
