Photo Pop 2012: Photography and Rock n’ Roll @ Red 7 (11.9)

I’ve been waiting to make this announcement since we first began planning Photo Pop 2012, which takes place Friday, November 9th.  As a native Austinite I realize how important the community aspect of the local music scene is, so I wanted to highlight some of our favorite photographers who work their tails off to bring you the best footage of our local scene.  Photographers Rick Kern, Brian Gray, Tim Griffin, Pooneh Ghana, Randy Cremean and Gary Miller will be displaying and SELLING prints of their favorite photography shot here in Austin.  A portion of those proceeds will go to HAAM.  But, that’s not the end of it.  Since the photography wouldn’t go down without the rock, we’re putting on a show afterwards with some of our favorite local bands: Gender Infiniti, Low Times, Tiger Waves, Shivery Shakes and Grape Street.  It’s a chance to enjoy some incredible photography (and get your hands on some good prints) plus stay and enjoy the rock n’ roll. Or you can choose one or the other, just be sure to support the local scene; it’s what makes it great. Here’s a tune from one of the bands, Tiger Waves.

New Demo from Red Hunter and Gender Infiniti

Sometimes sticking to your guns as an artist makes popularity hard to come by, but when we come across such musicians it’s both admirable and endearing.  I’ve long enjoyed the work of Austin’s Red Hunter, whether it be as Peter and the Wolf or his various other projects.  Just yesterday he released a slew of demos that may or may not be made into an album with his new project Gender Infiniti. This song puts his beautiful vocals on display, with a simple strummed guitar serving as the backbone of the tune.  If you’re into what you hear, please go to his BANDCAMP page and donate a buck or five; he’s one of the most incredible artists in Austin’s community, not only for his gifts but for what he gives back too.
