V2's Loss Is SXSW's Gain?

As Billboard, Brooklyn Vegan and others are reporting, V2 Records has imploded. The label has dropped pretty much all of its bands, and going forward will focus on the White Stripes' catalog (but not new releases by the band) and, ahem, gospel.

I'm guessing that this means that many of the following (formerly) V2 acts will now be joining us at South By Southwest:

Alkaline Trio
Blood Brothers
Brendan Benson (maybe?)
Elbow
The Icarus Line
Josh Ritter
Langhorne Slim
Margot & the Nuclear So and Sos
Mercury Rev
The Mooney Suzuki
The Rakes
Roman Candle
The Rosewood Thieves

Of course, this is pure guesswork, but I'd love the opportunity to catch just about any of these guys in March.
