It is with great pride and pleasure that I announce the most super-fun day show party that just so happens to be the same week of SXSW. What an astounding coincidence!?

Wednesday March 14th 2012 from 1p – 6 pm magic will happen at the uber swanky Highball (1142 S Lamar Blvd) for locals and out-of-towners alike! Yes, ANYONE who likes free stuff (the show is ALL AGES!) is invited to come hang out and see some of the best musical artists in the world! Keep reading this with your eyeballs!!

1pm TIGER WAVES (Chicago/Austin) A Cosmic surf rock explosion! Epic pop music filtered thru a Wall of Sound and a haze of psychedelia! Surfs up!

2pm NERVOUS CURTAINS (Dallas) Pure minor key intensity from frontman Sean Kirkpatrick who also plays in the Paper Chase and on the studio recordings of all your favorite Astronautalis songs! The dissonance and tight shadowy textures result in intricate, distressed and momentous songs!

3pm ISAIAH TOOTHTAKER (Tuscon) A co-founder of the Machina Muerte hip-hop crew, this heavily tattooed rapper and convicted felon is going to help make this Wednesday afternoon as ill as possible. You’ll be hearing more and more about this dude in the next year as his new album produced by The HOOD INTERNET drops in May on Mishka Records. No promises – but there MAY be free neck tattoos in the parking lot after the show.

4pm BLEUBIRD (Fort Lauderdale) The Anthony Bourdain of rapid-fire indie hip-hop is riding the wave from his recent album release CANNONBALL, which is easily his most personal and awesome yet. That’s no lie. This guy tours non-stop in the Freeebird- a dreamy RV that doubles as a hip-hop venue! He’ll be performing on the stage and not in the back of the RV for this show but keep your eyes peeled for Bleubird around town playing to long lines of folks or in the parking lot of your favorite taco spot. It should also be noted that Bleubird also loves kitty cats.

5pm ASTRONAUTALIS (Minneapolis) The experimental-Americana-indie-rap balladeer will be blowing minds all over the place with his genre-bending songs and insane freestyle abilities. It’s hard to keep count of how many day shows Astro has played for PartyEnds over the year but I will say this- it is an honor that with his level of success he continues to remember us and rock the show with us. Astronautalis is my favorite living performer and if you want to have your jaw drop to the floor you should be at this show by 5pm.

We’ll have amazing drink specials thank to the fine folks at BROOKLYN BREWERY all day long. Anytime you see their logo on a flyer you know it’s a treat!

We’ll have door prizes from the internet’s premier vendor of shirts with sweet vintage motorcycles, elephants with long legs and crazy rams! That’s right- HIDE & SEEK CLOTHING is back this year to spread the hip love!

Won’t you ink us in to your busy schedules? We promise it will be worth your while!

There is a facebook thingy for the show HERE. Tell your socials networks and whatnot yo.
