My notes for SXSW 2013 on Saturday morning started very simply: “SX day 4, THANK GOD.” The festival remains the best place to see music that I’ve ever experienced, but it’s also a soul-killer.
After taking a day to nap and look back on last week, Reverb has compiled the best shows we saw at SXSW 2013, including Justin Timberlake, Kendrick Lamar, Nick Cave and more.
As SXSW 2013 came to a conclusion on Saturday, we spent most of our day at the Reverb party, and that night caught Smashing Pumpkins, the Sword and more.
So flip flops were a terrible decision on SXSW 2013’s third day. Thankfully, we made plenty of other good decisions on Thursday to balance out the pain of 15 hours on your feet in two-year-old Havaianas.
Brand proliferation is not a new concept at SXSW 2013, though it was at least once reserved for the intersecting industries of media, public relations, management companies and record labels.
On the second full-on day of SXSW 2013, fans and industry alike were finding their gait, so why not have a more laid back day at Willie Nelson’s ranch?
