With SXSW keeping this year’s band list close to their chest, Austinist has cobbled together a pretty good list of the bands that are likely to appear this year.

I saw a post yesterday from Pitchfork mentioning Mastodon and Thurston Moore among others. Those two make my list of possibilities. Brooklyn Vegan and Done Waiting are also good sources for your SXSW music needs.
