The DIY/mostly-music blog BROOKLYN VEGAN is always up to something at SXSW and this year was no different as the BV team produced an awesome trio of live events at Austin’s Cheer Up Charlie’s. If we’re being honest, their opening day party (March 17th) just flat out ruled as it featured Altamont-friendly bands such as CITIZEN, PLAGUE VENDOR, WHITE REAPER, TURNOVER, SORORITY NOISE, MEAN JEANS, POWER TRIP, and RADIOACTIVITY. Photographer Marie Rupolo was on hand for a few sets so check out her stills above.
