ATTN. SXSW! DON'T MISS THE SUPERGOODMUSIC X G-PEN X ALLHIPHOP.COM BREEDING GROUND SHOWCASE

What happens when you've got an amazing venue, a great sound and production team, and two weeks until your SXSW show date and absolutely no line up? You call SUPERGOODMUSIC and they come to the rescue like Ghostbusters.

With a couple years of SXSW shows under our belt, and some great family in the G Pen team and Allhiphop.com crew, we've recruited some serious heavyweights as well as emerging artists to perform at the GPEN & SUPERGOODMUSIC Present the Allhiphop.com Breeding Ground Showcase.

Local K. Paul paves the way on the main stage for No LImit Forever, Talib Kweli, Problem and Raekwon to get rowdy and the patio is going to be pretty amped too with the likes of Kosha Dillz, Sahtyre, Watch The Duck and G-Eazy!

If you're looking for a healthy dosage of hip-hop - this is the place to be Thursday night. RSVP to the eventbrite page here.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS!!!!

OUT OF CONTROL INDIE-SOUL

This Tuesday (tomorrow) - Los Angeles' The Central SAPC heats up with some fierce indie soul from emerging artists Weapons of Audio and Austin Brown.

The former are blood brothers from Atlanta who elected to turn L dot A dot into their hometown in the past year - and since then have been steadily creeping their way into the limelight.  From "If You Want Me" being a free ringtone through Coors Light to judging Sweden's Next Top Model to photo shoots as featured artists in Gilette's "Masters of Style" campaign - Weapons of Audio have been letting their swag flag fly high.  In their spare time they just happened to release a steamy, smanging bar anthem "Night Light" - co-produced by Grammy award winner Graham Marsh.  Returning to play The Central SAPC for the first time since their very first LA performance - Weapons of Audio are likely to cut that stage up and, if we're lucky, debut some material they've been cooking up since arriving to the left coast. 

Here they are rocking "Night Light" acoustic style on Jam In The Van.

WOA just sets the mood and stage right for another talented bloodline - the Jackson family.  Austin Brown, Michael Jackson's nephew, will again do his best to channel his uncle's skill set as he offers a taste of what's to come in his bright future.   Last week - the kid nearly kicked over a drum set and knocked a microphone off stage with his energetic dance moves and flexing.  The band is filled with young players and the music has plenty of pop stylings, from its soul to its subject matter ("Menage A Trois") to suggest that Brown has a lot of room to grow.   Check out some of his videos below and then make sure you get your ass to The Central SAPC early tomorrow - its FREE and its FUN!

That Triple R Threat - Robert Raimon Roy

Had the pleasure of witnessing a Robert Raimon Roy set at BandPage HQ late night on St. Patrick's Day and the dude killed it. Having graduated from syncopated rap styles and swag rap to a more sophisticated look, a little bit of singing and flexible rap vocals - he delivered one of the most impressive performances I caught down in Austin.

I am excited to see what he puts out next - because last I heard from him was "Little Egypt Wavy" - a synthy, drum heavy hip-hop and soul blend that has a wicked video.

Catch him performing a track at BandPage HQ in Austin too.

The First of Many Videos from Austin and SXSW - Multi Platinum Artist Miguel and More

Here is a sample of things to come. On St. Patrick's Day we had some hip-hop, some funk and some electro at Lipstick 24 on 7th St, including platinum recording artist Miguel doing one of his hits, "Quickie," and rising electro hip-hopper Keith Masters doing his Futurecop! collabo "1988 Girls."



"Quickie" - Miguel



"1988 Girls" - Keith Masters & Futurecop!

SAINT MOTEL IS PLAYING THE SUPERGOODMUSIC SHOWCASE IN AUSTIN - MARCH 16th

I love, love, love Saint Motel. Not only are the quartet some of the coolest, nicest, most fun guys I've ever met - but their music is infectiously good. Everything off their first EP is delicious - including the original of "Dear Dictator."

In this video that song gets the treatment from Sam Sparro and Saint Motel's vocalist/guitarist AJ took on the role of director of the music video. I was actually on set for some of the shoot at the club formerly known as Cinespace and even have a very brief cameo (look for a green hat). Although they won't be performing the remix, you can almost count on the original or at least something off of the For Play EP down at SXSW.

Saint Motel are performing at a few different parties - but you'd be foolish to miss them at ours. They'll be in a headlining position and I have no doubts that they will rock the hell out of our stage at Lipstick 24 at 606 East 7th Street in Austin, TX on Wednesday March 16th.

Look for our eventbrite RSVP page soon - but for now, you can RSVP here.
