This year’s SXSW was one of the best we have experienced in years, not only in the talent ranging from the heavy hitters like Metallica, Kanye West, and Primal Scream, to the new buzz bands that delivered with impressive aplomb, but also the general vibe which felt much more congenial and eager for new music. From Grizzly Bear in the Central Presbyterian Church to Phosphorescent at Ms. Bea’s on the east side, from Daniel Johnston downtown at the Radio Room, to M. Ward at Auditorium Shores, we took to the streets to liveblog it all, including our own amazing Austin Sound dayshow at the Creekside Lounge. You can check out all our SXSW 09 coverage below!
