Reminder: Loud!Fest (Bryan, TX)

Hey, guys. This is just a reminder that Loud!Fest is THIS weekend (Fri & Sat) in Bryan, TX - a little less than an hour away from Huntsville, straight down Hwy 30.

The festival kicks off on Friday at Revolution at 8:00 PM. If you can't make it until Saturday, it starts at 5:00 PM that day. Be sure to get there early Saturday, because The Busy Kids are starting things off at 5!

Bands playing Loud!Fest include, in no particular order: Satin Hooks, The Ex-Optimists, We Were Wolves, Jay Satellite, Transmography, Something Fierce, The Hangouts, The Wrong Ones, The Tron Sack, MUHAMMADALI, and White Crime. That's not all, though! Those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head. This festival features over 30 bands at two venues - Revolution and The Stafford.

You can see the full schedule here: http://fencedinarea.com/LoudFest2011/schedule/.

Best of all - it only costs $5 for the two-day wristband! See you there, punks!

The Hangouts 7" Record Release (Bryan, TX)

This Friday (4/22), get your lazy asses over to Revolution for this show. The Hangouts are having a record release of radness. The record will only cost $4 at the show, and it comes in more than one color! Also: If you don't have a record player, don't worry! It comes with a download card.

Also playing: Something Fierce and The Wrong Ones!

The bands start at 10p, so you have plenty of time to get there after work - and maybe even after a nap. No excuses!

Loud!Fest 4 (Bryan, TX)

Hey, people. This will be year number four for Loud!Fest, a music festival in downtown Bryan. The festival takes place at The Stafford and Revolution, and it is well worth the $5 it costs (wristband good for both nights!).

There will be 30+ bands at this thing, including The Hangouts, The Ex-Optimists, Something Fierce, The Busy Kids, Muhammadali, & Satin Hooks. For a complete list, see the event page here: Click me!

Bryan is only about 45 minutes from Huntsville, so you won't spend much on gas. Another good reason to go: I will be there! So mark your calendar. This event starts on Friday, May 20, so it is one month from today! I will post a reminder when we are closer.
