SXSW - Day 2

Day 2 was probably my favorite day of this year's SXSW, in no small part due to our annual trip down to Lockhart for some Smitty's BBQ. Best damn sausage around.

My best "find" of the day was Throw Me The Statue, who I'd never heard of before but came away very impressed. I was also thrilled to catch Bon Iver, who was fantastic despite the fact that very few of us in the audience could even see the band due to the crowd and the fact that they were all seated towards the back of the stage. And Wussy was as good as I've ever seen them, so be sure to catch them on their East Coast tour this month.

Full set of pictures from Day 2 - including good, bad, and ugly ones - can be found here.
