SxSeattle Kickoff Party!!

Music >

We love to support the music community, and have some awesome plans for SXSW this year. I’m particularly excited about our involvement with the SxSeattle group, which helps Seattle artists get an audience down in Austin.

Playing at SXSW can be instrumental in an artists’ career – being in front of the right audience can lead to record deals, agent relationships, and perhaps the best part, new fans! It’s great exposure.

Each year, SxSeattle throws a party in Austin to showcase some of the best bands from our hometown. Before the conference, there’s also a local event to kick-off the fun and help raise funds for the trip to Austin. Brown Paper Tickets is proud to be a co-sponsor of all the fun down in Texas, and I’m a member of the planning committee for SxSeattle. Here’s more about what we have planned:

Thursday March 3rd

Before the evening show, there’s a free, all ages artist bazaar! Bands will not only be selling CDs and tees, but also whatever bizarre items they have for this flea-market style bazaar. Items so far include:
– Hand painted light switch covers or baked goodies from The Young Evils
– Clothing and one-of-a-kind finds like books, drum lessons and a 19th century map from Black Whales
– Beer cozies and merit badges from the Tea Cozies
– Autographed CDs & posters from D.Black and Fatal Lucciauno
– Caricature stand and kissing booth from Campfire OK (tongue costs extra!)
