With SXSW having wrapped up, hundreds of bands gathered here in Austin get ready to head back on the road, dispersing across the country on tour. One of those bands is Ra Ra Riot, who headlined SXSW's Barsuk/Merge showcase Saturday night at the Parish. They've been in Austin for three days, seeing old friends and meeting tons of new people.

As Beach House took the stage Friday night at the Cedar Street Courtyard for Blackberry's SXSW showcase, they were met with a sea of cameras, ranging from cellphone cameras to multi-thousand dollar DSLRs and everything in between. But few belonged to professional photographers.

Last night at the Windish Agency showcase at Emo's Annex, where bands like Dirty Projectors and Datarock were playing to a packed group of sweaty fans, there was a huge screen showing incoming tweets from anyone who felt like sending a message to Twitter directed at Emo's account. It was a clear sign of just how prevalent Twitter is here at SXSW.
