    <description>Mika Miko is an underground &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/tag/punk&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_tag&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;punk&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/tag/noise&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_tag&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;noise&lt;/a&gt; band formed in 2003 in Los Angeles, California, U.S.  Mika Miko has made a name for themselves by being truly on their own program.  This 5 piece &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/tag/punk&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_tag&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;punk&lt;/a&gt; band will defend the term with all their power because they are just that, an amazing &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/tag/punk&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_tag&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;punk&lt;/a&gt; band, both in spirit and attitude. Pounding their way through interesting, fast &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/tag/pop&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_tag&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;pop&lt;/a&gt; songs that leave you wondering how they pull the steam all the way through.  Imagine a high school dance where &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Red+Cross&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Red Cross&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Black+Flag&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;Black Flag&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/X-Ray+Spex&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;X-Ray Spex&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/The+Slits&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;The Slits&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/The+Germs&quot; class=&quot;bbcode_artist&quot;&gt;The Germs&lt;/a&gt; are all playing at with an updated flare of excitement and anxiousness.  That feeling you are thinking of is the feeling of Mika Miko and the sound you are imagining is only part of the equation that makes Mika Miko a local favorite in L.A., and everywhere else. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.last.fm/music/Mika+Miko&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Listen at Last.fm&lt;/a&gt;</description>

    <title>The 4th Annual FUN FUN FUN Fest</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click &quot;I Like it! for a chance to win one of 2 pairs of tickets!&amp;nbsp; Tix will be given away friday at noon. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Transmission Entertainment is pleased to announce the lineup for the 2009 Fun Fun Fun Fest, taking place on November 7th and 8th at Waterloo Park in Austin. Fun Fun Fun Fest made its first appearance on a cold Friday evening in 2006, offering a unique approach to festival booking, filling stages with talent bubbling from the underground: what sounded great, and what was making an impact, regardless of what mainstream media said was cool. What started out as a show for a few touring acts and local favorites has become a movement -- &amp;nbsp;a festival that fans and bands alike realize needs to be experienced year after year.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Now in its fourth year, Fun Fun Fun Fest has made a significant impact on the country&amp;rsquo;s winter calendar, successfully combining the vast worlds of indie, punk, rap, electronica and comedy while showcasing some of the city&amp;rsquo;s most unique local businesses. It is the most relaxed, laid back and (yet) progressive festival in the market place today, a true urban event in the middle of downtown Austin. Most importantly it&amp;rsquo;s a fest we in the music community want to go to, without all of the filler that shows up at corporate music carnivals around the world. Fun Fun Fun Fest: the fest before the fest ... where you go to see what&amp;rsquo;s about to happen as opposed to what's already been done. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Each year, fans have been treated to sets by reunited legends as well as prominent acts from across the globe at the festival. And this edition is no different &amp;ndash; music aficionados will be eagerly awaiting performances by DEATH, The Jesus Lizard, Shonen Knife, Mission of Burma, and Danzig. Of Montreal, King Khan &amp;amp; BBQ Show, GZA, No Age, Young Widows, Ratatat, Yeasayer, and The Cool Kids ensure that a wide variety of relevant artists will again be on display, and as always, Austin is well represented, this year by the likes of Shearwater, Foot Patrol, Black and White Years, The Laughing, Harlem, and Strange Boys.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; In true Fun Fun Fun Fest fashion, fans can now learn about new music, research the line up, listen to MP3s, interact, enter contests, buy merchandise and more; simply by joining the new Fun Fun Fun Fest (&lt;a href=&quot;http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=-1&amp;amp;msgid=0&amp;amp;act=11111&amp;amp;c=290918&amp;amp;admin=0&amp;amp;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.funfunfunfest.com%2F&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.funfunfunfest.com&lt;/a&gt;) community online.&lt;/p&gt;
