SXSW 2012: Photos of the big local and national acts

by Andrea Swensson

March 19, 2012

Minnesotan artists like Doomtree, Brother Ali, Trampled by Turtles, Polica, and Howler played countless gigs in Austin, Texas this past week amid thousands of other acts at the annual SXSW music festival. We were on the ground the whole week covering the event from a local angle, and compiled some of the best sets into a photo gallery that also includes national acts like Fiona Apple, Dan Deacon, Built to Spill, Johnny Corndawg, and more. Enjoy!
