Austin, Chicago and NYC-based music blog BrooklynVegan returns to SXSW this year with four big day parties, and three evening showcases that span indie rock, punk, electronic, hip hop and metal.

The BrooklynVegan day parties, which run from noon-6pm on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, happen across the two stages at 603 Red River (corner of 6th Street). You might remember the space as the old location of Emo's, but these days we call it The Main & The Jr.
