Posted at 5:56 PM on March 27, 2009
by Jim McGuinn
With over 1900 bands in attendence, it's impossible to do more than scratch the surface of all the action at SXSW, but this year I got to see 39 different acts play at least one song over the course of 3 1/2 days. From my list, the details and reviews of each are described in other posts on the Current's blog, I'll narrow down to my favorite 10 of this year:
Delta Spirit
Janelle Monae
Pains of Being Pure at Heart
The Hold Steady
Primal Scream
POS
Peelander-Z
The Afternoons
Sam Roberts
BLK JKS
Thanks for coming along and thanks as always for listening to the Current!
