Once again it’s that time of the year where every band, label, and venue is bandying for your attention. But despite the typical influx of international acts and A-listers, the best SXSW shows usually end up being the ones curated by local institutions. Case in point: Art Decade Creatives‘ Official SXSW Showcase – “Austin Heavy Hitters” – happening Friday the 13th at 13th Floor.
