Music + Film: SXSW 2012 Schedules Are Live

It seems that SXSW gets more organized every year - nearly a month in advance, version one of the massive SXSW Super Grid showing all panels, talks, films, and band showcases is now up for your perusal. As with any conference taking place in 100 venues with 2,000 bands and hundreds of films, expect these grids to shuffle often in the next few weeks due to last-minute programming additions, changes, and deletions. One other music note: the banner showcases at Stubb's, Auditorium Shores, Austin Music Hall, and ACL Live/Moody are notoriously absent from this initial grid, so expect some show 'reveals' in the weeks to come for some of the bigger names like Fiona Apple and The Jesus and Mary Chain.

SXSW SUPER GRID!

Update: Austin360 is reporting that The Shins, M. Ward, and Counting Crows will play at Auditorium Shores, and that the Austin Music Awards will be held on Wednesday, 3/14 at Austin Music Hall.
