SxSW 2013: Day Party Pics

No, I am not done yet. This one and a gallery of the showcases is all that is left. If I can muster it, I’ll do a best of post. Best-ofs are easier well removed from a festival because lasting memories help define what really got you going.

Anyway, this giant gallery of daytime show goodness includes some candids and portraits from around the conference during the unofficial events. Highlights include Wax Idols, Nobunny, The Soft Moon, Criminal Hygiene, Bleeding Rainbows, that band Thurston Moore is in, Delorean and so much more.

Click through. Play a game of “oh yeah, I was there.”

No pics from the Spin Party, check those here. Wasn’t able to spend a huge amount of time at The Fader Fort by Converse this year, but caught Mac DeMarco. The Soft Moon was probably my favorite set of the fest and you wouldn’t think that a bond like that would work in the bright daylight of Club DeVille, but it did. The black uniforms bathed in bright white, it was bad ass. Oh, and Wax Idols was right up there. Hether was on it despite fighting off a cold.
