SXSW :: South By SouthWest Announcements! News!!

This news tidbit about South by Southwest 2009 was from http://thefamousish.blogspot.com .. thanks a lot for the information..

The wonderful yet evil people at SXSW were nice enough to give us a taste of some of the acts that we can expect this March. I'm especially excited about FRIENDLY FIRES. Pretty much anyone who has heard them knows they're amazing. Also notable, and quite impressive. BURAKA SOM SISTEMA. Well played South By, now all you have to do is not fuck it up.
