Austinist Show Preview: KVRX 91.7 Local Live Vol. 11 Release Party at Irie Bean

KVRX continues to go from strength to strength in the oft-shifting landscape of independent music. The student radio station for UT at Austin broadcasts on 91.7 FM (at certain times) while also streaming online at all times. KVRX’s mantra of “None of the Hits, All of the Time” has always held a soft spot in our hearts and their Local Live broadcast every Sunday night at 10pm usually showcases a quality act in its rawest form.

This Thursday, the station launches its latest (and eleventh) compilation of Local Live highlights with a CD release party at Irie Bean Coffee Bar featuring performances by Jerm Pollet, Tee Double, the Lovely Sparrows, and Zookeeper. We’re still holding on to our coveted (and sold out) Volume 1 featuring “legendary” acts such as Glorium and the Motards but everyone can get a dose of Volume 11: “From Assacre to Zookeeper” for a mere $10 at the show. Copies of the double disc and DVD set will also be available from April 26th till May 31st at KVRX sponsors’ locations-- Affordable Sound, Bird’s Barbershop, El Arroya (Far West location), Farm to Market Grocery, as well as Irie Bean. Starting June 1st, one can pick up Volume 11 at local record stores with all proceeds going to KVRX’s operating costs. Sounds like a good deal, all in all.
