In addition, each day from March 13-15, Minnesota independent radio station The Current will broadcast live from SXSW at the Free Yr Radio Broadcast Corner at Red River Street and 7th Street.
Billy Bragg, Carbon/Silicon, Dizzee Rascal, She & Him and The Raveonettes are among the bands slated to perform.
