On March 16th we'll be hosting our sixth annual day party during SXSW, featuring two stages full of excellent acts at that most excellent of venues, The Mohawk. This year we're collaborating with our friends at The Windish Agency, the Laneway Festival, Eat Your Own Ears and sponsors at Scion, Zazzle, Feiyue, and Corona to bring you the best party in our already notorious run. The event is all ages, and totally free. We go from noon to 6pm, and suggest you show up early. Check out our Facebook invite for the event, and listen to tracks from our artists at our Soundcloud page. Meanwhile, let's take a closer look at some of the bands we have playing, shall we? more ›
