With literally thousands of acts to choose from, it's something of a gamble when photographers set out to cover any given band during SXSW. With returning favorites like Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age and OMD, as well as breaking talent such as Wild Flag, Yuck, The Pretty Reckless and Dirty Vegas -- sometimes playing at opposite ends of host city Austin, TX, at overlapping time slots -- it requires a bit of a zen navigation -- not to mention a current map of the festival's venues -- to really nail it.

The musical layout for Day Four of SXSW 2011 featured, among other things, the big surprise reveal of the Perez Hilton Party headliner at the Moody Theater: Dirty Vegas. The Hilton event also featured Liz Phair and The Pretty Reckless, and it kicked off in grand celebrity style complete with a red carpet and paparazzi. The absolute antithesis in style was the Rachel Ray Feedback party across town at Stubb's. It showcased Wanda Jackson and Bob Schneider, among others, and with a 10 a.m. start time it clearly catered to hardcore down-to-earth folks.
