Like Maria, I’d had no idea that there was any conflict (short of moshing) happening at last Saturday’s bridge show. This report from the Guardian seems to disagree — though the handful of inaccuracies in it does lead me to scratch my head somewhat.

Specifically: the reference to “the $650 all-access wristband”, which conflates two different SXSW-viewing options; the reference to a mosh pit forming “by 4am” (unless the bands started back up and played a second set apiece, everyone had finished by then); and the closing bit about “1,000 fans beating each other up on a bridge”, which comes off as sensationalistic — even at its most hectic, it was more like 30-40 people acting crazy and the rest standing and watching.

Via Fucked Up’s blog, the NME’s original story, which also has the 4 a.m. time listed. Strange.
