As Austin's leading news and culture website, Austinist is considered among tastemakers and festival veterans to be one of the best sources for SXSW coverage. In addition to artist interviews, showcase previews, and afterparty picks, Austinist also throws a much-anticipated unofficial welcome party to the fest. Dubbed "Local Music is Sexy," it's the perfect way to kick off a week of nonstop debauchery, featuring this year the likes of Zykos, White Denim, Brazos, and Pink Nasty.
