It’s my extreme pleasure to again partner up with the other Hot Freaks! bloggers to bring you two days of fun in Austin, TX this South By Southwest. Aquarium Drunkard, Chromewaves, Daytrotter, Gorilla vs Bear, Largehearted Boy, My Old Kentucky Blog and myself have all teamed up to bring you the best bands at the best venues in Austin. Once again, the parties will be going down the Friday and Saturday of SXSW at The Mohawk and Club de Ville — two of the best venues anywhere in America.

Headliners this year will be British Sea Power, Jens Lekman and Jason Collett on Friday, with Lykke Li, White Hinterland and Islands capping it off on Saturday. The full roster with set times and venue breakdowns is below. (Thanks to Frank for compiling all the Myspace links and such)

And remember. If you can’t make it to Austin, foxy WOXY will be streaming the whole thing on their site!
