Staying true to form, SXSW was another barely manageable hot mess in Texas with way too many shows to see at the same time and high-profile surprises.
From Wednesday to Sunday we caught as much of the action (and as little sleep) as possible, including a surprise guest appearance with Usher and the Afghan Whigs, a rowdy Major Lazer set at Vice’s compound, local favorites Thee Oh Sees and the Limousines and the Geto boys. Check back soon for more SXSW coverage.
