SXSW ’10: A First-Timers Overview

South by Southwest ’10 has come to an end. There were many bands, many shows, many drinks. Nick Diamonds and I covered for Amplified, and below you’ll find a selection of pics from the shows I was able to make it to, including (in no particular order) She & Him, Suckers, Liars, Muse, Andrew WK, Fucked Up, Gwar. The award for biggest hubbub by far goes to Muse. Somehow I’d escaped their music before until now. Their show was quite impressive. They had a light show you wouldn’t believe, showering green lights deep into the crowd and far into the back wall. They also had security you wouldn’t believe, kicking all photographers out of the pit, and even away from the sides of the crowd. Lame.
