SXSW was brilliant - I recommend that you all go at least once. Apparently there are a lot more music fans there now than there used to be when it was just an industry shinding. The sheer volume and breadth of bands is incredible - if you're prepared to walk around town and drop in on venues you can pretty much stumble upon examples of every popular form of music.
Of the bands I was planning to see Gold Panda and Gayngs were particular highlights. On the new act front Dam Mantle was my favourite and FM Belfast (new to me) were my favourite new party band.

If you weren't in the crowd below, or one like it, in Austin this year, then make sure you get yourself a ticket for SXSW 2012!
