SXSW MADNESS ALREADY STARTED

Who doesn't love SXSW? If you're a music fan, it's Disneyworld. Better than all others, you can hit 10 shows in a night without even getting in a cab, plus BBQ, beer, and sunshine. The good people over at the AUSTINIST, have put together an updated list of "confirmed bands" for this year's event, now 240 bands announced.
