Bill (better known to all as Billy Corgan) wound up coming to make the record, Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness, and needless to say, that Smashing Pumpkins record let everybody know that this is one of the best sounding places on the planet. NAM CHAU When I was in a bar on the last night of SXSW music, someone put his arm around me from behind. When I turned around, I was surprised to see Billy and I was able to sit down and thank him for his key part in creating the Village of today. If I had not been at SXSW, I would never have been able to have that moment. This is one of the amazing things about the SXSW festival. It really is about the people. - Jeff Greenberg (The Village) At Any Price screening at the Paramount Theatre with Zack Efron, Dennis Quaid and director Ramin Bahrani. R I TA Q U I N N / G E T T Y I M A G E S When I took the Village over and rehabilitated this once famous studio in a 1920's Masonic Temple, we were disheartened to find that a lot of young artists felt that The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton and Tom Petty was music for their parents. We thought we were fi nished. Then, a guy named Bill called and asked if we could send him some pictures of the place. The inside, which is now gorgeous, was in rough shape, so we sent him a Polaroid of the outside of the building.

He had a crazy look in his eye and disappeared into the sea of people. - Sean Bohrman (Burger Records) Paloma Faith performs at Perez Hilton's One Night in Austin showcase at Austin Music Hall. 32 S X S W O R L D / M AY 2 0 1 3 Vampire Weekend at Stubb's
