Jagjaguwar / Dead Oceans / Secretly Canadian SXSW showcase a rousing success
Many, many thanks to everyone who came out for the Jagjaguwar/Secretly Canadian/Dead Oceans SXSW showcase. We had a great time playing host(ess), and the Mohawk turned out to be a perfect venue to encase all the madness. Jagjag bands bookended the evening on the outside stage, with Besnard Lakes kicking things off in properly epic fashion, and Okkervil River tugging at the heartstrings to close the show. Ladyhawk brought the thunder to a packed crowd inside, and everyone made us proud. We are still groggy, and our feet still hurt, but it was worth it. SXSW was some serious fun. See you all next year!
