The Way Too Late (and too short) SXSW Wrapup

First band: Kid Infinity

Last Band: Das Racist

In between: The White and Black Years, Lesands, Fruition & The Bellbays, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Cults, Foster The People, Twin Shadow, Givers, The Naked and Famous, Toro y Moi, Oberhoffer, Jeff & The Brotherhood, Kisses, The Orbans, Hanni El Khatib, Skiggy Rapz, Starfucker, Kyle Andrews, Oh No Oh My, ARMS, Delicate Steve, Family of the Year, Jonquil, Givers, and Cults

Best Sets (in order of appearance): Lesands, Foster The People, Skiggy Rapz, Kyle Andrews, Family of the Year, Jonquil, Givers, Cults

Random Stuff: Helping Odd Future parallel park their car. Their hype died real fast, eh?

Weirdest Thing: Givers’ guitar player looks like a young James Franco, and when he plays his eyes often roll back into his head, so you only see the whites of his eyes. Very freaky, but amusing.
