The events will feature an array of some of the most significant and acclaimed artists from The MuseBox family which includes The High Dials, Inward Eye, Juliette Commagére, Hey Ocean!, The Homosexuals, The D'Urbervilles and Wintersleep.

And in what will thoroughly excite SXSW veterans and newbies is the triumphant return of post-punk gods Echo & The Bunnymen, who will headline the Saturday showcase, making it a 'must-attend' event of the conference. The legendary band is using the conference as the jumping-off point for a busy schedule in 2009 and beyond where they will release their long-awaited 10th studio album The Fountain and hit the road for extensive world touring in support of it.
