Since semi-retiring from booking events, I thought everyone was satisfied with unofficial gig referrals for this year's SXSW Music Fest, but fate and determination to showcase (and party with) the artists I appreciate conspired to create <a href="http://indieradiorocks.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"><b><i>Indie Radio Rocks The World 2</i></b></a>!<br />
<br />
We have 24+ confirmed music acts from overseas, out-of-town, and in your neighborhood bringing the <i>rompus</i> (rock + rumpus) to Austin for two days during SXSW! Join us for a second year of presenting indie music - on and off the radio.<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></span><br />
<br />
For performances and schedules (TBA soon), go to the official unofficial SXSW event blog: <a href="http://indieradiorocks.tumblr.com/"><u>indieradiorocks.tumblr.com</u></a>. <br />
<br />
Unofficial SXSW showcase and party attendees also have event planning options to take the confusion out of attending showcases and parties - and not miss on free events and extras, like complimentary drinks and food. Here are links to our event, where you can also do your other party attendance planning:<br />

Add free live music, a puppet show, and a donation bar before the official store opening, then you have one of the coolest unofficial closing parties for SXSW.<br /><br />The lineup: Indie rock duo <b>You Are An Airplane </b>(Austin, TX), one-man dance/hip hop/house party from <b>dance in da pants!!! </b>(New Orleans, LA), transcendental jazz troupe <b>Cliff Hines Quintet </b>(New Orleans, LA), solo songstress and musician <b>nerdkween</b> (Atlanta, GA), electro-keyboardist duo <b>Brass Crab & Beef Chip </b>(Austin, TX), <b>The Cocker Spaniels </b>(Austin, TX crunk rock artist), <b>Summer People</b> (NY anarchic/melodic rock band), <b>LOST CAT MAGNET</b> (electro art-rock from Austin, TX), and the possibility of a premiere GREEN HOUSE puppet play by <b><a href="http://thunderpuppet.com/">Thunder Puppet Productions</a></b>.<div><br /></div><div>The store will be open for a preview and presale - and will feature the first art installation - work by cartoonist <b>M. Austin Bedell</b>.<br /><div><br /></div><div>RSVP @ <a href="http://do512.com/c/sx2011/event/2011/03/20/green-house-pre-opening-party-w-fever-fever-brainstorm-nerdkween-thunder-puppet-productions-and-more">Do512</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=114090752001212">Facebook</a> - and see you there - <span style="font-weight: bold; ">Sunday, March 20 at 6pm</span>. </div></div>diy dannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11602504750560916965noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574180569202722198.post-53930912687825194462011-02-26T18:00:00.000-08:002011-02-27T14:42:21.422-08:00Anti-Gravity Presents: Indie Radio Rocks The World, Wed. 3/16 @ Cherrywood Coffeehouse<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKAKgxSiQBlesk3HvI1sbWsU56gyIzOWrVGu1F6qcVvQRtRMkuKvgzaYbqXc5wJ3Qpzs5s5kpGMBCsteHuJXylTK92_W6elIo2Mdo5d2PJndPM1_hm2XlMbnNE6a0uJ0iWiZJWZeSd5o0/s1600/IRRTW_Cherrywood16Mar2011.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKAKgxSiQBlesk3HvI1sbWsU56gyIzOWrVGu1F6qcVvQRtRMkuKvgzaYbqXc5wJ3Qpzs5s5kpGMBCsteHuJXylTK92_W6elIo2Mdo5d2PJndPM1_hm2XlMbnNE6a0uJ0iWiZJWZeSd5o0/s400/IRRTW_Cherrywood16Mar2011.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578195975416405122" /></a><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28lN8eRulTjuuYqLzJrklv3jIV59I5TC7AiYacCzgLB9g02lXGWC8atSAKunL_N8VnIvMDzLNPeeP-65suMTsTWJSRCDdhvG1IZ_vEYovrCChul6A0jBA2uN0oKRcQTvjiVezLhfywfA/s1600/SOS_BV20mar11.png"></a><div><br /></div><div>At Noon on <b>Wednesday, March 16</b> @ <b><a href="http://cherrywoodcoffeehouse.com/">Cherrywood Coffeehouse</a>,</b> <b>Anti-Gravity</b> presents <a href="http://indieradiorocks.tumblr.com/"><b>Indie Radio Rocks The World</b></a>, an all-day and all-night party featuring 30 talented and diverse acts performing on 2 stages - all celebrating indie music on indie radio - including <b>Janka Nabay</b>, <b>Ralph White</b>, <b>Tôg</b>, <b>Giana Factory</b>, <b>CALLmeKAT, </b>and<b> Black Kettle</b>.<b> </b>Indie Radio Rocks The World is sponsored by <a href="http://listentoair.org/">AIR (Austin Independent Radio)</a>, student run <a href="http://kvrx.org/">KVRX 91.7 FM</a>, world indie music portal <a href="http://radiocasbah.com/">Radio Casbah</a>, and all natural and delicious <a href="http://teasoftexas.com/">Texas Tea</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>RSVP at one of your favorite unofficial SXSW party sites:</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://bit.ly/sxd512">Do512</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://indieradiorocks.eventbrite.com/">Eventbrite</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=160361337346811">Facebook</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://bit.ly/schd11">Sched</a></div><div><br /></div><div>You can also become a stage sponsor at our biggest event yet by pledging on <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/diydanna/sponsor-indie-radio-rocks-the-world-during-sxsw-mu">Kickstarter</a>.
