¡Viva! Alt.Latino presented a killer showcase from Auditorium Shores with Cafe Tacvba and Bajofondo on Thursday. (We'll have audio to share with you soon.) From the blissful electro-pop of Glasgow's CHVRCHES to Iron and Wine's Sam Beam surrounded by bicycles to LL Cool J performing under a 62-foot stage designed to look like a vending machine, here's what else we saw at SXSW on Thursday. See a gallery of photos by Adam Kissick here and follow us on Flickr for much, much more.
