Trail of Dead @ SXSW 2009 (more by Black Bubblegum)

Although no formal announcement has been made, careful scientific analysis of the originally announced 2009 All Points West lineup, vs what is being advertised now, reveals some changes. First of all, Yelle, who not even one person guessed would be appearing at this year's festival anyway, is now actually not appearing at the festival. Five new artists are though. And they are:

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead (Saturday)
La Roux (Sunday)
Rye Rye (Friday)
The Honey Brothers (Saturday)
Xavier Rudd (Friday)

Everyone else (like Beastie Boys, My Bloody Valentine, Tool, Vampire Weekend, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc) is still the same. Tickets are still on sale. The festival takes place July 31-Aug 2, 2009 in Jersey City, NJ.
