I understand where you're coming from, but deals are still being signed at SXSW. I went for the first time last year, going again this year, and you can still find new artists. You just have to dig deep and do a little research beforehand. Last year I went to GoldLink's first show and he was starting to pop off on blogs. At the show was a Windish Agent and a CAA agent. I went to his third show and the Windish Agent was still there. Safe to say that he literally got signed at SXSW. I got to talk to him afterwards and wanted to bring him to my college. Last fall I brought him to my college and talked to that same agent that was at the show. So deals and new artists still happen at SXSW.
