The Industry of Music Showcase

Alas ... after much anticipation (and four years of VERY hard work) we'd like to welcome you to the 5th annual Industry of Music Showcase (IOM) event in Austin Texas March 14-17.

This will be our first show within a brand new venue.  The wonderful and oh so grand Fado's Irish Pub located at 214 W. 4th Street in Austin...right in the center of Austin's popular warehouse district.  We'll be holding shows from 3pm until 2am Wednesday through Friday within their outdoor back stage.  AND, on Friday we're blocking off the entire street in front of the venue for a tented 4,000 capacity event 3pm to midnight. 

As you can see, we're taking things up a notch this year!  Have no fear, the amazing growth and prestige is not going to our heads!  In respect to our growth, we will be presenting even MORE buzz bands, MORE major label bands, MORE venue space to see them in, and MORE amazing sponsors and celebs to make the show even MORE of a huge buzz event in Austin this year.

In years past, we've had a strong reputation for hosting buzz acts each year that have gone on to glamorous stardom (Silvertide, Razorlight, Peppers Ghost, Halestorm, L.P. etc...). Well...this year, we're bumping things up a bit and hosting a long list of buzz acts to get things cooking...for example, Porcelain (#1 buzz band in Australia), The Young Knives & The Rumble Strips (famous UK buzz bands), The Cinematics (fyi...soon to be huge), the captivating and oh so lovely April Smith and the Great Picture Show, and the L.A. darling Reeve Carney etc...  Plus we're proud to announce a few more most interesting bands that will be gracing our stage...Thomas Dolby (Science!!!), the lovely Michelle Shocked, Halestorm (back again for more!!!), and Joan as Police Woman.

So strap yourselves in...this year's gonna be one heck of a ride! Keep checking back for more details, schedules, etc...

See y'all in Texas!

IOM Event Coordinator
