We know it is still November, but how can you not already be excited for SXSW 2012?
Today the official SXSW website unveiled the first round of band announcements for the March 2012 event. This is obviously nowhere near the complete list of talent, but names such as Against Me!, VHS Or Beta, and We Are The Oceans should be enough to push a few more ticket sales. You can view the complete list after the jump.
Tickets are already on sales for the music portion of SXSW 2012, which runs March 13-18, and can be purchased here.
