More SXSW updates later, I am home sick and a little out of it.

SXSW just announced some big names performing this year including Cheap Trick, She and Him, and more.

Other heavy-hitters confirmed to showcase this March include the return of indie pop folk duo Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward performing as She & Him. Indie rockers Metric will be making an appearance along with their fellow Canadian musical collective Broken Social Scene. Also see performances from Japanese indietronica artist Cornelius, Japanese-American hip hop producer and artist Dan the Automator, and Chilean hip hop artist Anita Tijoux.

Ghosts, blood, and cartoon birds.

She and Him have added an August 4 stop at the Wexner Center in Columbus OH. Full details here. Tickets onsale soon. I missed them at SXSW (line was too long), so I hope to catch them this time around.
