From SXSWiki

Join us on March 15th thru 17th, as Bayou Logic presents Rock the Sandbox, a non-sanctioned SXSW showcase held at Aussie’s Volleybar & Grill (www.aussiesbar.com) !  No volleyball this weekend. The nets are coming down. Throw a blanket and lawn chair in the sand; relax in an outside musical playground while 31 bands rock the nights away. This eclectic line-up will tickle the hair in anyone’s ear. 

Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (and food) will be served outside.  And for the March Madness fanatics, Aussie’s features many inside TVs that are sure to satisfy any sportsman’s itch.  This all-ages showcase is open to the public with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the scholarship fund of Natural Ear Music.  This event, off the beaten path of the usual SXSW venues, reflects a laid-back, come as you are ‘tude. 

Aussie’s is located at the corner of Barton Springs Rd. and Riverside Dr. , and parking is available on both sides of the volleyball courts, with rumors of a free parking garage across the street on Riverside .  On Thursday and Friday ($8 door), music starts at 4:30pm and ends at midnight .  Saturday’s ($10 door) festivities kick off at 10am with a full day of music (15 bands) ending at midnight .  Guests with an official SXSW wristband will be allowed in for free but are asked to donate to the scholarship fund.
