Screaming Females, OFF!, !!! + More Rock SXSW Mess With Texas -- Exclusive Photos

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 like Esben and the Witch, Surfer Blood and Odd Future to buzz-heavy veterans like OFF!, !!! and Ted Leo (who also took the stage with crowd favorites Screaming 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.
