HuffPost Arts’ Guide to SXSW – On Our Radar

Each year around this time, a large selection of tech-geeks, art-geeks, and music-geeks convene in Texas for South By Southwest, an all-inclusive festival that tickles each of their fancies.

The festival, which runs from March 11 – 20 in Austin, Texas, has three distinct schedules for Music, Film, and Interactive that invite some of the foremost talent from each from around the world to speak, perform, and enlighten. Here’s a selection of what’s on our radar for this year’s SxSW festival from all three parts. Let us know what you’re looking forward to most in the comments.

On the music front, there is too much to look forward to and narrowing it down was increasingly difficult as we sifted through the calendar. That said, the performances most likely to get us on a Texas-bound plane include:
Das Racist (The Phoenix. Friday March 18, 12:15am)
Meiko (St. David’s Historic Sanctuary. Saturday March 19, 10:30pm)
