Death at Europa in 2010 (more by Ben Lozovsky)

As mentioned on BrooklynVegan, protopunk band Death are alive and well, and will be coming to Austin for SXSW this year. While they're here, their documentary, A Band Called Death, will be screening at Vimeo Theater on Thursday (3/14) at 7:15 PM and Saturday (3/16) at Alamo Ritz 1 at 11:15 AM.

The band will also be playing some shows, including TenOak on Thursday (3/14) at 12:50 AM (so technically Friday), and a BrooklynVegan day party, which happens at the old Emo's location, 603 Red River St earlier that day (1:30). Rough Francis (aka Death's sons band) will also be at the BV party, playing right before them at 12:45.
