On Saturday, March 19, Austin played host to the fifth Mess with Texas party -- a massive, free, and totally unofficial two-stage blowout held during South by Southwest. Held at the East Side Drive-In, the all-day show's stacked line-up featured a who's-who of SXSW's biggest acts, from fresh faces likeEsben and the Witch,Surfer BloodandOdd Futureto buzz-heavy veterans likeOFF!,!!!andTed Leo(who also took the stage with crowd favoritesScreaming Females). Despite the layer of red Texas dust that coated every surface in sight, the huge crowds danced, moshed, and drank themselves into a state of sunburned bliss.
