[File this entry under “Comfort Foodâ€: Our guest blogger’s final full day at SXSW was spent not only eating a lot of free grub (the hotel’s excellent breakfast, the Aussie BBQ and a media luncheon at the Belmont catered by Salt Lick BBQ), but also feeding her soul with friends and familiars making good music. […]
[When the weekend arrives at SXSW, it  always means you have to avoid 6th Street if you’d like to get anywhere in a timely manner. Locals who were finally released from their day jobs joined the masses in downtown Austin to roam around as well, but that didn’t stop me from toting my laptop straight from […]
[SXSW, where legs go to die …] (@krbronson) on Friday at SXSW: The emcee at the British Music Embassy for Friday night’s all-Scotland lineup at SXSW wasn’t kidding when he trumpeted the region’s diverse musical palette. Earlier in the evening, the club Latitude 30 had hosted indie-folk, electro and post-punk bands – and then, as […]
[Fridays signify two things: 1) the end of the work week and 2) time to relax, yes? Not so much for our guest blogger at SXSW. No rest for the wicked, and all that jazz.] Trina Green (@dharma69) on Friday at SXSW: It was nearing 1 a.m. by the end of Deap Vally’s set, every […]

[TGIF … kind of. It’s already Friday which means SXSW is nearly over, but we’ve still got lots to explore and we did our best to check out the bountiful goods last night. The usual energetic bustle of downtown Austin was a bit dampened after Wednesday’s night late-night tragedy, but the Mohawk, Cheer Up Charlie’s […]
[The snack chip saleslady played a show Thursday night, and a bunch of other attention-whoring A-listers were seen crashing SXSW as well. I missed them all and have no regrets, although the tearful fans left standing on Red River Street outside the snack chip saleslady’s show probably had some. Heard something about vomit. At least […]
[Foot rubs for our guest blogger?] Trina Green (@dharma69) on Thursday at SXSW: It took a little extra effort to get up and out and into the spirit of doing something as frivolous as enjoying music the morning after the tragedy that occurred on Red River, but it didn’t look like I was the only […]
Buzzing new bands from Los Angeles [that’s Bad Suns, top photo], a Super Furry Animal from Wales, some rockabilly from Mexico – photographer Scott Dudelson again mixed it up Thursday at the South by Southwest Music Festival. Here’s what he saw. Concert photography by Scott Dudelson
The South by Southwest Music Festival, along with venues the Mohawk and Cheer Up Charlie’s, have decided that tonight’s scheduled shows will go on, even in the wake of the early-morning tragedy in which two people were killed and 23 injured after a car sped into a crowd near the venues.
