Weakened Friends and Grim Streaker rounded out the lineup of the BrooklynVegan/Shout It Out Loud Music SXSW showcase at Brooklyn Bowl Family Reunion at Scoot Inn.
After getting rained out in 2016 and taking 2017 off, Levitation festival returned to downtown Austin this past weekend (April 26-30) with artists across the spectrum of what gets called psych.
Sylvan Esso's one SXSW show this year was a Friday night Rainey Street shindig sponsored by M&M’s (though as a duo they also would have fit right into the Twix “House of Duos” party at the same venue a day earlier). It was also one of the 18 best sets we saw at SXSW this year.
This year's FADER Fort had Rae Sremmurd doing a surprise Friday night headlining set, as well as Raekwon, Superorganism, Speedy Ortiz, Soccer Mommy, G Perico, SOB x RBE, YBH Nahmir, Courtney Marie Andrews, Palm, and more.
We already posted one set of pictures from our official SXSW showcase with Brooklyn Bowl Family Reunion at Scoot Inn with Wye Oak, Ted Leo, Bully, and Bodega. Here's a second, including pictures of some of the afternoon's day party, which Dan the Automator, Sunflower Bean, Kweku Collins, and Hinds played.
