Most people might recognize Wednesday, March 17th as “St. Patrick’s Day.”
While we encourage everyone to go out and embrace the “guinness-drinking irish lad” within, you can find the real treasure at NUE Agency x Elitaste’s Best Of All Worlds SXSW Showcase. On March 17th, come join us as at Aces Lounge (@AcesLounge) as we host a star-studded lineup of artists to perform at one of the best shows scheduled for SXSW.
You might need more than a little green and some four leaf clovers to get into this show but don’t worry, have a little faith… It’s St. Patrick’s day, remember?
Taking place in Austin, TX during March 12-21 is the annual SXSW (South By Southwest) Music, Film and Interactive festival.
During SXSW, artists will be performing at different shows and venues throughout the city. If you’ll be in the area and want to see a great live show by some exciting new emerging artists, make sure you go catch Mike Posner, Chiddy Bang, 2AM CLUB, and/or Freddie Gibbs at one of their performances.
“Stadium-sized “Posner” chants took over the Blender Theatre at Gramercy…”
Michael Menachem of Bloginity.com recently attended and wrote a review about Mike Posner’s latest NYC performance at Blender Theater at Gramercy. Posner did a fantastic job at Blender Theater and the article does a great job of capturing his energy, the crowd’s enthusiasm and conveying how lively and fun the concert was. We hope you didn’t miss out, but if you did, make sure you check out the links below.
LXM PRO is the only tour of its kind. By combining a music festival and professional lacrosse (featuring the world’s top 40 players), LXM PRO introduces lacrosse to mainstream audiences and brings a fresh look to America’s oldest sport.
Slated to perform at this year’s LXM PRO in Austin, TX on April 10th is Los Angeles based group Carolina Liar. You may recognize them from their recent performance at the 2009 MLB All-Star Game or from their hit songs, “Show Me What I’m Looking For,” and “I’m Not Over.” Featured on popular shows such as The Hills, Gossip Girl and American Idol, they’ve been creating quite a buzz around the country.
We’ve known about this for a while now, but as we look at the full list of XXL’s freshman class someone seems to be missing. XV recently dropped his mixtape, conveniently named 30 Minute Layover, to keep us occupied until the release of his album Vizzy Zone.
If you’ve doubted his talent, this 30 minute mixtape is the perfect opportunity to get a small taste of what XV has to offer. Some notable tracks are his creative freestyle over B.O.B’s “Nothin on you,” “Lift the game,” and listen for his jab at XXL in “Top of the World.” This mixtape warrants all the criticism toward XXL for leaving Vizzy off the freshman class list. However, if you think about last year’s list, there were a couple of artists that didn’t do so well. At the end of the day, you can’t deny XV’s talent… he’s “awesome”
If you were in the general vicinity of Gramercy Theatre in New York City Monday night, then you must have felt the energy radiating from the sold-out crowd that came to see headliner Mike Posner and artists Chiddy Bang, Fly Gypsy and Shinobi Ninja. The show was a whirlwind of beats, lyrics and smiles as the crowd danced on till morning. Chiddy Bang had all our heads nodding and Posner had us singing along to every word.
Mike Posner will back in the NY area for the Bamboozle Festival on May 1st.
“SoundCtrl and Pepsico present “FlashFWD,” a campaign to honor those using technology, social and digital media to reshape the music industry.”
