South by Southwest is currently happening in Austin Texas. It's a yearly gathering of musical performances, film screenings, and conferences, that attracts an army of industry folk every year. New Zealanders who've made the trip this year include Marlon Williams, October, Tiny Ruins, Fis & Rob Thorne, and Wellington band Hex.
Tony Stamp spoke to Hex band member Kiki Van Newtown, whilst she was immersed in the sensory overload of South By Southwest.
