SXSW 2009: Mile Hi-Fidelity 2009(3/20) ::

For those of you who will be in Austin during SXSW I highly recommend dropping by this showcase featuring some of the Mile High's finest bands. Having the pleasure of seeing most of these bands here in Denver I would say that you will not be disappointed.

Free Mile Hi-Fidelity Compilation:

Mile Hi-Fidelity @ SXSW 2009 Friday March 20, 2009 1:30pm-7:00pm @ The Jackalope 404 E 6th St (6th and Trinity) Austin, TX 78701-3740 Free admission and drinks

Open to the public, Gigbot, Max3.com along with Morning After Records, is reprising the widely successful Mile Hi-Fidelity party at SXSW 2009. With the highly successful music acts that have broken out of Denver in the past several years (the Fray, 3oh!3, the Flobots, Devotchka…) the industry has it’s spotlight on Colorado. Mile Hi-Fidelity is taking that spotlight to Austin to showcase other up-and-coming bands from the Front Range like it has done in years past. Vaux, Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots, The Photo Atlas and The Hot IQs are just a few of the bands that have played this party in earlier years and the potential this years is even bigger. With some of the best bands to have ever come out of Denver performing this year from start to finish you’re going to have a hard time leaving. Mile Hi-Fidelity will be held at the Jackalope – located on 6th St and Trinity, right in the heart of SXSW

2:00 P.M.-The Epilogues

Do It To It SXSW Party

A pretty respectable collection of Austin DJ’s (Bird Peterson, Mel, Klassen) with touring talent (Nadastrom and Tittsworth). The line-up kind of reads as if the Beauty Bar and Black & Tan had a sweaty day-glo saturday night baby, all that’s missing in fact is the requisite annie ray photo booth. Either way, it’s  a solid line-up all around, and for sure worth stopping by, especially considering that it all goes down at a sushi joint, and one I like at that.

Thursday, 3/19 9pm Silhouette on Congress

All the best,
