Ladies and Gents... Alas, it is time for our (drum roll please) 5th Annual, 2007 Industry Of Music Showcase in lovely downtown Austin Texas...March 14-17. The biggest buzz music event of our lifetime!!! An event that will live...in infamy!!! Well, at least in our minds. As usual there will be some of the biggest up and coming buzz bands from around the world, hot newly signed major label bands, circus elephants (not really), and a few ultra famous names thrown in for good measure. This will indeed be the best line up of bands within Austin on one single showcase event. And it's absolutely FREE!!! No badges, wristbands, food stamps, or goats required. Wednesday through Saturday we'll have shows within our 300 capacity room on the back porch of Fado Irish Pub (214 4th St., Austin) just a short walk from the Austin Convention Center. AND, we're blocking off 4th St. in front of the venue both Friday and Saturday for a 4,000 capacity tented event. Saturday will be a massive all Irish St. Pat's event...the biggest in Austin! So as you can see...we've kicked things up a notch this year eh? As in previous years at our event, you can expect to see many bands who are about to sign major record deals...future stars if you will...who'll no doubt go on to stardom within 2007. Our track record for producing such acts year after year is oh so strong. Need I mention bands we've had in the past such as...ohhhh...Razorlight, Shiny Toy Guns, Halestorm (who are back this year), Silvertide, Damone, etc... So be the first kid on your block to come down to our show and have your ear drums blown out by tomorrows chart burners! Plus come down to support such wonderful non-profit groups such as Habitat For Humanity, ONE, etc... Come to our show and help make the world a better place!

Generous Sponsors:We couldn't put this party on without a little help. Big thanks to these groups for their great attitudes and support of creative music.        |
The Rumble Strips(Fallout/Island) Probably one of the most exciting bands in London at present, this 50's and 60's inspired rocked out soul band on Island/Fallout Records is sexy, dangerous, and full of the kind of fun energy that'll get anyone out of their seat and dancing like a fool. Precicesly the kind of band we need in this world today. 
Joan as Police Woman(Cheap Lullaby Records) Joan Wasser is the best champagne in the world. A voice so wonderous and moving that it makes everyone else's seem ordinary and mundane, the indie generation's Dusty Springfield. The Ride is the most hypnotic and majestic sad song ever and so good it will make you shiver - THE GUARDIAN (27.05.06) 
Halestorm(Atlantic Records) Atlantic Records latest rock and roll darlings have been kicking up quite a buzz as of recent. Fronted by the biggest female voice in the business Lzzy Hale, Halestorm promise to become one of the timeless classic bands that you'll hear on rock radio for many years to come.
Porcelain(Universal Records) "Porcelain...a dizzying on-stage array... Porcelain's estimable range...is at once buoyant and mesmerizing..." Kevin Bronson/L.A. Times. What more can be said concerning Universal Records next big band? These legends from Australia are a must for anyone who craves a truly spectacular and dynamic live performance.
