SXSW

This is PART TWO of SXSW 2014 Preview for the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, starting next week. I believe this may be the last of the SXSW previews... …

South by Southwest (SXSW) Music is next week: March 11-16th. Since March 1st, I've received about 200 emails with the subject header of "SXSW", and I have to say (and you'll agree with me), that I'm already I'm sick sick sick of hearing about it! So this is the final SXSW article. What a relief.

This is PART THREE of SXSW 2014 Preview. Read more SXSW 2014 Showcases and SXSW 2014 Preview. As usual, many of these items below were already posted on news.weheartmusic.com.
