SXSW Highlights Pt 2

It was clearly quite silly for me to think I’d nail down all the exciting goings on at SXSW next weekend in one post. The second I published my SXSW compendium last week, it was outdated and incomplete. Such is the nature of music fests. At any rate, my inbox was absolutely FLOODED with loads more events and showcases, so here’s another wrapup for those of you attending next week.

NOTE: I covered a few of these artists/showcases in my last roundup, but I’ve reposted those that had adjusted bills or add’l dates.
