SXSW Update: Primal Scream, St. Vincent, and Beach House

While you were away at your family get-together or taking a much needed break from excessive internet usage this holiday season, SXSW announced a set of confirmed bands playing the festival next year, including Primal Scream, Friendly Fires, and Ra Ra Riot. St. Vincent, Beach House, Bonnie Prince Billy, Black Lips, and Dappled Cities are just a few of the other confirmed names we’re already getting excited for. There is a fairly extensive list on Do512’s blog containing rumored as well as confirmed artists.

The 2009 edition of SXSW Music takes place in Austin, TX from March 18th to March 22nd. Keynote Speaker Quincy Jones will address the masses on March 19th.
