sxsw in photos: part III

Okay, now this is seriously the last SXSW photo post from us. But first, I just wanted to shout out some of the best things we saw last week, which included amazing sets from bands I'd seen before (White Denim, the Cool Kids, Holy Fuck, Clipse, She & Him, and tons more), as well as a surprisingly high number of newer acts that exceeded lofty expectations and were even better than advertised (Santogold, Lykke Li, Bodies of Water, Blk Jks, and El Guincho all stand out). On to the pictures: these were all taken with our $30 toy camera, and the results look like 1979. Click for larger image (photos by David):
