This Friday at 7pm, Shangri-La will ask Lamebook.com fans to donate a suggested measly $5, drink free beer, and rock out with Neiliyo and a Learning Secrets DJ set. more ›

We caught up with Rose this past Tuesday to learn more about his time in Brooklyn and find out which artists have the honor of being sampled on Explains It All. more ›

Neiliyo is Austin's favorite hyper-electro-funktionaire. Well he's Austin's only hyper-electro-funktionaire, but that's why he's our favorite. You may ask, what the hell is a hyper-electro-funkionaire? To the outsider, it may look like a top slider wearing frat boy trying to be hip. But those who have seen the man in action know that Neiliyo is a fresh bundle of energy, that brings his own beats and leaves a lasting impression. more ›

Mash-up maestro Chris Rose, better known as DJ Car Stereo (Wars)*, has established himself as one of the Austin’s most popular disc jockeys over the course of the last few years, and lately, he’s been making some noise nationally as well. We’ve known him to regularly furnish the soundtrack to many a shindig around town, but earlier this year, he started spinning in Brooklyn periodically, and in August, he turned in a manic set at Lollapalooza ‘09. During that Chicago performance, Rose invited fellow Austinite Neil Petty (a.k.a. Neiliyo) on stage, leading to much pandemonium and one heck of a day time dance party. The two have forged a firm friendship ever since, and this Thursday, they combine forces yet again to present a Christmas Sweater Party at Emo’s. more ›

Neiliyo is pretty hard to ignore when rapping along to hyper electronic dance beats while rockin' some Ray Bans, fratty attire and boat shoes sans socks. His popularity, charm and mastery of the mix table have landed him in the semi-finals for the Last Band Standing Contest. He's just an arm's reach away from the grand prize, a slot at Lollapalooza in August. Voting ends today for the semi-finals and the top two bands compete at the final event in Chicago. more ›

“Ain’t Over” from People Skills is one of the more immediately remembered songs on the album. It has a very sing along-friendly chorus that feels more than a tad over the top at times. The electronic buzz and beats behind some very spoken wordy vocals are easily enjoyable and whimsical. more ›

Offering different forms of stimulation can bring the evening’s entertainment to the next level, much like adding a strawberry to a glass of champagne steps things up a notch. Music and comedy is getting common. Music and art isn’t quite done enough. This weekend, it’s time for fashion and music to collide at Team Fabrication’s Fashion Extravaganza #6 at the Mohawk on Saturday. more ›
