These are the best bands I caught at SXSW this year...
The Thermals: a great hook in every song; rollicking good fun
St. Vincent: beautiful songs with some raunchy guitar licks thrown in
Wildbirds & Peacedrums: just drums and a singer, but it kicked my ass repeatedly

St. Vincent is fantastic... I do have a hard time with her voice sometimes though I can't describe why. But her song "Now Now" still blows my mind every time I hear it.

I love seeing women play guitar. It's just sadly so rare.

Seconding the St. Vincent and Peacedrums selections. I played Peacedrums on-air last week.
