The events will feature an array of some of the most significant and acclaimed artists from The MuseBox family which includes The High Dials, Inward Eye, Juliette Commag�re, Hey Ocean!, The Homosexuals, The D'Urbervilles and Wintersleep.
And in what will thoroughly excite SXSW veterans and newbies is the triumphant return of post-punk gods Echo & The Bunnymen, who will headline the Saturday showcase, making it a 'must-attend' event of the conference. The legendary band is using the conference as the jumping-off point for a busy schedule in 2009 and beyond where they will release their long-awaited 10th studio album The Fountain and hit the road for extensive world touring in support of it.
