Austin's yearly springtime musical orgy, better known as SXSW, has slowly been leaking handfuls of artists over the past week, but today saw the announcement of over 200 additional acts to the list. Several of BOT's favorites were announced today, including Frightened Rabbit, Deer Tick, The Crystal Method, B-Real, C-Mon & Kypski, Steel Train, Timber Timbre, Princeton and We Are Scientists. It's also great to see Houston string group Two Star Symphony among the names announced today. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come, and we'll see several more of our local acts headed to the Hill Country for official showcases in mid-March.
