It was a quarter past 12 a.m. on a particularly lively Friday night when I made my way to downtown Austin. Last weekend, the second consecutive year of Levitation was in full swing and I was nothing short of ecstatic to experience a piece of the niche festival’s hypnagogic lineup. The edgy fuzz sounds of the band BRONCHO drew me to Barracuda’s outdoor stage for a moody psych-rock performance. 

If done right, South by Southwest has the potential to be the best week of the year without having to spend a single cent.

Austin rock band Sweet Spirit celebrated their new record release with two nights of shows at Barracuda this weekend.
