SXSW officially announced a round of bands today and we, in turn, immediately added them to our comprehensive list for you all. Below are the newbies to our list. You can see a full list, complete with links the each artist’s audio and video here. If you have already been to this page, don’t fret, we have set it up so you’ll see a nifty, red “NEW” sign next to each artist you have not seen yet. Even better, we’re ready to unveil our SXSW 2009 widget. Grab it here, embed it on your blog or website, and tell your peeps which acts you plan to see. Once the schedule gets announced, we’ll take those acts and make you a nifty little schedule for you of when and where you can catch them. Pretty darn cool, eh? We’ll also make announcements via the widget, and include a full listing of each and every artist performing, with audio and video of course.
