| | Rolling Stone : South by Southwest: Music Marathon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07) |
 | | It was surely the biggest in the world from March 15th to March 19th, when about 1,400 acts played official showcases for 10,000 SXSW registrants (a conference record) at more than fifty venues. |
 | | Australian quartet End of Fashion whipped together flashes of Big Star, Black Sabbath and T. Rex in songs from their imminent U.S. debut album, and singer-guitarist Carl Barat, once in the Libertines with walking car crash Pete Doherty, showed off his new razor-glam band, Dirty Pretty Things. |
 | | Established stars such as Neil Young, the Pretenders, Morrissey and the Beastie Boys also came in record numbers for SXSW's twentieth anniversary, mostly to prove they were still moving forward. |
