NewTek TriCaster set up to stream a live concert from a venue in Nashville.

Too many awesome choices to take in? Wish you could be in two places at once? Check out SXSW Live this week for the live-stream schedule of SXSW Music Festival. You can pick up on an event that’s being streamed while waiting for another event. For that matter, if you weren’t able to attend this year, you can still get to SXSW via the live-streams, including the NewTek-sponsored 'The North Door Showcase' each night during the Music Festival.

Today begins four days and four nights of music at the House of Vans at Mohawk. Japandroids, Iggy & The Stooges, Middle Class Rut, Sky Ferreira, The Specials, and Ghostface Killah are all appearing tonight in Vans SXSW Showcase presented by Fat Possum on the outdoor stage. Anticon Records will be holding down the indoor stage with D33J, Kenny Dennis, Daedelus, Young Fathers, WHY?, and Baths. Check out Vans.com/sxsw for the full House of Vans at Mohawk schedule including Local Natives, Marijuana Death Squads, Alt J, Frightened Rabbit, Delorean and many more.

By now you have no doubt heard about the VEVO TV Control Room (4th and Lavaca), VEVO’s home base during SXSW and command central for performances by HAIM and Krewella, daytime events and more. But VEVO, the world’s leading all-premium music video and entertainment platform, came to Austin for another reason – the launch of its groundbreaking VEVO TV.
