Last week meant one thing to the music industry, and that was SXSW in Austin, Texas. RubyHornet is no stranger to the happenings that surround the week long music festival. This was our 5th year in Austin, and we done things from throwing showcases to recording CS:ATX in 2010. This year marked yet another milestone for us, as we teamed up with MTV2’s Sucker Free for our 2nd Digital Freshness: ATX showcase. The showcase served as a kickoff party for Closed Sessions Vol. 2, which is finally completed and will release this spring also with MTV2 Sucker Free. Watch their recap video below, and look for new music and documentaries.
