The first one was awesome so we’re doing it again!
Better Than The Van and Do512 have teamed up to bring you another happy hour with FREE music at Beerland.
There will be $2 beer specials on all craft and microbrews, and MMMPanadas is parking their empanada truck out front to feed the masses. It’s going to be a huge night!
Ringo Deathstarr, Visitors and O’Brother (from Atlanta) will melt your face and get you over your mid-week malaise. Plus it’s the release show for Ringo D’s new 7″, In Love. Hell yes!
Need something to kill a little time in the van? Tap into your inner child and get out the Crayolas. Illustrator Andy J. Miller has put together a little jem where you can color in the whistling of Andrew Bird or find some fowl in Devendra B’s beard. Plus if you buy it, the proceeds go to charity.
“I have always tried to do whatever I can to help musicians out, since I feel like they give me a service I wouldn’t want to live without.”
Well said by BTTV’er Kate Battle out of Chicago. She and a couple others were interviewed for a story/interview that’s running today on the ABC news site.
Yep, this is a few days old but it’s worth a re-blog. Apparently Ben Gibbard is worth only $400, while Jenny Lewis comes in at $1200. There was no Daily Double in this category.
So, are Mr. Trebek and Co. running out of categories or are they trying to “reach the kids”?
Today is the first official day that YOU can vote for BTTV on the SXSW panel picker. Wha? Well, during the 24/7 rage-a-thon that is SXSW they have cool panel discussions where people talk shop about the music industry.
SXSW decided to let you pick the topics this year and we submitted our idea for a panel.
We at BTTV love us some Flaming Lips so when we heard of this action we just just had to share.
Via CNET -
“Buy a ticket, and they’ll send you a download code for six songs–three new ones from their upcoming album “Embryonic” (nice album cover!) and three B sides from old singles. After the show, they’ll send you another link to download a recording of the show you attended.”
Bands you don’t have to be the Flaming Lips to give your fans a little somethin’ extra. Get creative and give them something more!
BTTV member and street teamer hardrockslacker managed to get a BTTV flyer into the hands of UFC mauler Clay Guida. He sent in the pic and we think it’s awesome.
Weigh-in flex-photo for reference. Clearly Mr. Guida could kill a musk ox.
Join the BTTV Street Team, get a flyer into the paws of someone famous and end up on our blog!
