Red Bull Locally Thrown : December 10th at The Mohawk

A good idea and for a great cause. I still can't believe Ian from Riverboat Gamblers showed up at Fun Fun Fun Fest against doctors orders. Very Rock and Roll. Here are the details:

Red Bull Locally Thrown brings six local DJ's (DJ Manny, DJ Orion, PREPMODE, DJ BigFace, Richard Gear & DJ JE) to the table to spin their party mixes of Austin's best local live music.

10 bands being mixed are: The Octopus Project, Riverboat Gamblers, LIONS, The Black & White Years, White Ghost Shivers, Nelo, The Lemurs, Brothers & Sisters, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears and The Story Of.

$5 suggested donation at the door >> Proceeds will go to Riverboat Gamblers, whose guitarist Ian MacDougall was seriously injured recently after being struck by a car while riding his bicycle.

Fantastic Fest presents the Triple 3D party on Wednesday (9/30)

Everyone is talking about Highball these days and deservedly so. The people that brought us the Drafthouse opening a high end bowling alley with various themes? Yes please! They have already been hosting some events during Fantastic Fest this past week and are throwing a "Soft" Opening Party on Wednesday. It will also serve as a pre pre ACL party for us. The cool part of it is that it is a Triple 3D party with projections you don't need glasses for, a 3D dance floor! and music provided by 3 (ahh) of Austin's finest DJ's Mel | Doneski | and Manny. Don't miss this one.

HIGHBALL Soft Opening Party

No RSVP needed (Get there early!)
Located next door to Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar

The Black & White Years' Eastside Remix w/ DJ Manny

In an effort to create a unique experience for the Austin music scene, Big Green House and Vinyl Entertainment presents one of Austin’s most popular bands, The Black and White Years, on the eastside with a twist: DJ Manny, DJ Bigface & DJ Claude 9 will remix The Black and White Years’ album – originally produced by Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads - before the night of the party. Then on the night of the show, DJ Manny w/ DJ Bigface will play their remixed version LIVE for the first time followed by a performance of the original tracks by The Black and White Years. Opening up for them will be Built By Snow.

The Black and White Years based in Austin, Texas is an on-the-rise electro pop band with a significant following and local media attention rivaled by few. The band is currently receiving mainstream radio play in Austin on 101X and college radio stations throughout the nation. They recently played at Austin City Limits (ACL) Festival and have opened up for The Presidents of the United States of America in several cities.

The Eastside Remix is scheduled for Saturday, November 15th at 9 PM at The Compound, located at 1300 E. 4th Street in East Austin. The Compound is known for its secret shows, underground vibe and superb sound & stage. They produce events during SXSW, ACL and throughout the year for private parties and promotions.

Party goers will also experience live, onsite screen printing and can choose between a poster or t-shirt, while supplies last!

Doors open at 9 PM! 21 and up only.
