Now that winter is finally upon us, it is more than appropriate to talk about spring break. Totally. Several Chicago-based rockers, rappers - and everything in between - have been spotted on the list of this year's South by Southwest lineup, which will take place in Austin, Texas, on March 12-17, 2013. JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound, The Congregation, The Hood Internet, Empires and The Waco Brothers are some of the bands that will be on hand to give Austin denizens and out of state tourists alike a reason to get down in the streets. Grab the complete list artists after the jump. If hot national acts are what floats your festival boat, SXSW 2013 will have plenty of them. This year's list includes a stunning array of 90s artists including Third Eye Blind, Alien Ant Farm, The Crystal Method and Man or Astro-man? in addition to popular modern rockers Thee Oh Sees, Wavves and Joy Formidable.
