Make no mistake, the folks at Pitchfork are extremely skilled at putting together a showcase that will kick you in the mouth. The Internet hub hosted two SXSW parties at Austin’s Barracuda (611 E 7th St.) and their first one took off on a Thursday (March 17th) as it featured various performances from VINCE STAPLES, MICK JENKINS, WHITE LUNG, EMPRESS OF, BEACH SLANG, CAR SEAT HEADREST, D.R.A.M., and LITTLE SIMZ. Words don’t really do it justice so check out the gallery above for live stills by photographer Seita Goto.
