Austin, The Return of Art Disaster!

ARTDISASTERNo16_october3rd_red7+holymountain (5)Every year as the city, and our visitors, gear up for ACL Fest, there’s something special that always spotlights the city’s talents, reminding us that we’ve got quite a bit of talent here in town.  Art Disaster has been going on for a few years, and we’re happy to be one of the sponsors for this event.  You’ll have two venues , Red 7 and Holy Mountain, offering great bands like Driver Friendly, Good Field and The Black and White Years, not to mention drinks and the cool people of A-town milling all about, including us! If you RSVP, you can get in to see the all the acts for a measly $3.  Pretty much no excuse for you guys since it’s cheap, and you already took off Friday for the festival.

It’s SXSW time again, and I’m already overloaded with party emails, bands needing shows, and the multitude of band submissions that come our way this time of year. Another thing I’ve always noticed, is the multitude of sites offering their very own “SXSW Guide”, “SXSW Survival Tips”, or some other mumbo jumbo to that extent. Well today ATH is jumping into that game with our very own SXSW rules to live by. Now this isn’t your typical list, as we always try to tell it like it is despite who we may piss off. So stop RSVPing to all of those parties and check out the ATH guide to not screwing this up. Follow the jump for more.

ATH SXSW Guide

guideSo we here at ATH are finally ready to give you some advice on what you should be doing during SXSW. To do this, we got together and created a fancy SXSW website to guide you on your way. The site features the lowdown on the best Free/RSVP parties for each day starting tomorrow! We’ve included lineups, times, links to RSVP and even a handy PDF that you can print and take with you. If that wasn’t enough, our good friend Bonnie Walton (she’s kind of a big deal) created a food guide for you out-of-towners. Head to sxsw.austintownhall.com now to check it out. We hope you enjoy!
