Every year, hordes flock to Austin, Texas for South by Southwest (SXSW), a set of conferences and festivals with a broad appeal. For music lovers, it’s the unofficial start of the summer festival season; for cinephiles, it’s a chance to check out some off-the-radar indie films; and for techies, it’s a chance to explore new technologies and hear from some of the digital sphere’s best and brightest.

That’s Nathan Willett of Cold War Kids. Jonnie Russell departed from the band last year. Great photos though! Got to see Band of Horses and The Roots at the Samsung (Copper Tank) Venue.
