We bring you some front-row excitement from the Blender After Hours blowout (check out this gallery for even more pics from the party):

[From left: A-Trak, Diplo and Blaqstarr combine forces to up the party level approximately 18 notches.]

[Left: Hanson brother Zac (now 22!) takes advantage of the hidden prizes found inside the Blender goodie bag (maybe there are some eyebrow tweezers in there). Right: Hipster-hop power couple Kid Sister and A-Track are like the Brad and Angelina of SXSW.]

[Super Furry Animals front man Gruff Rhys leads his electro-pop side project Neon Neon.]

[Left: Rhys takes to the floor for some hot cowbell action. Right: There's really nothing better than a woman in '80s attire playing the keytar.]
 [Teenage upstarts Drive A bring their Sunset Strip rock to the Blender House.] |
