When we arrive at the Parish on May 1, a fan is already waiting in the back alley. Night Riots doesn’t hit the stage to play a sold-out show opening for The Mowgli’s for another three hours, but she looks like she’s already been waiting a while.

Yes, it’s over. It’s been over for a while now. We’re talking about South By Southwest, and we totally feel your withdrawal symptoms. Real life doesn’t seem quite as fun. At the very least, the weeklong festival left us with some fantastic new musical discoveries, and they’ll make the perfect soundtrack to our rainy afternoons spent brooding and planning for next year’s festivities.
