SxSW 2014 Music In Pictures

The conference has been over for a hot minute or two. We still have a bit more to share with you, but let’s start with pretty pictures.

Check out a link with all kinds of SxSW!!!

In a lot of ways, it was the worst SxSW ever. I have had enough of seeing The Mohawk in the background of news stories about an asshole and innocent people lost. We can complain about it being too big, but it is our own damn fault.

But, I did see some really great stuff again. I still love you SxSW, just not the same way as before.

Takeaways…

Wild Cub are pros and put on the best set. The Great Invisible won best surprise band. Weekend melted my face. Trust played the same set every time and I loved it every time. Trent Reznor once impersonated Gary Numan, not the opposite is true. Tomas Barfod with Nina K enchanted. Cheer Up‘s new location was really great. Don’t stand in line. Ignore the big stuff and you’ll be happier. Seeing friends is almost always better than seeing bands.
