The South by Southwest Festival wrapped up over the weekend in Austin, Texas. What started 22 years ago as a tiny live music show aimed at highlighting musicians from the Southwest, has now grown into a massive annual media event. The weeklong festival now showcases film, interactive technologies and recording artists from around the world. Thousands of people attend. And this year, several indie rock bands from Arizona took the stage. KJZZ's Marcos Najera reports from Austin.
