Dead Confederate

Dead Confederate http://do512.com/band/dead-confederate http://do512.com/band/dead-confederate.xml Dead Confederate is an alternative rock band which formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 2006. The band consists of Hardy Morris (vocals, guitars), Walker Howle (guitar), John Watkins (keyboards), Brantley Senn (bass) and Jason Scarboro (drums). The band released their debut album, "Wrecking Ball" on September 16, 2008 on Razor & Tie and The Artists Organization. The album includes the single "The Rat". Though the band is pinned as producing the same kind of indie rock aesthetic à la My Morning Jacket and Band of Horses, Dead Confederate dabbles in darker shades than their compared predecessors. From the raspy, unrestrained shrieks of "The Rat" and the psychedelic guitar wail on the vivid "Tortured Artist Saint" to the intimate acoustic layers of "Memorial Day Night," Dead Conferdate echo the Drive-By Truckers' bittersweet southern rock angst with the smoke-heavy swagger of the Black Angels. Although southern Civil War soldiers may remain six feet under, Dead Confederate's sincere versatility drives home that rock'n'roll is damn well alive and kicking.

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 --  a festival that fans and bands alike realize needs to be experienced year after year. Now in its fourth year, Fun Fun Fun Fest has made a significant impact on the country’s winter calendar, successfully combining the vast worlds of indie, punk, rap, electronica and comedy while showcasing some of the city’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’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’s about to happen as opposed to what's already been done. 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 – music aficionados will be eagerly awaiting performances by DEATH, The Jesus Lizard, Shonen Knife, Mission of Burma, and Danzig. Of Montreal, King Khan & 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. 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 (<a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=-1&msgid=0&act=11111&c=290918&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.funfunfunfest.com%2F" target="_blank">http://www.funfunfunfest.com</a>) community online. <a href="http://funfunfunfest.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd283/endspiral/new_website.jpg" border="0" width="362" height="181" /></a> http://do512.com/event/2009/11/07/4th-annual-fun-fun-fun-fest http://do512.com/event/2009/11/07/4th-annual-fun-fun-fun-fest.xml Saturday 11/07/09 20091107T180000Z/20091107T180000Z 0 382.0 12:00 PM Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:00:00 -0600 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:00:00 -0600 332 SAT http://funfunfunfest.com http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/227772/fff6_sq_90.jpg WATERLOO PARK 119 WATERLOO PARK http://do512.com/venue/waterloo-park http://do512.com/venue/waterloo-park.xml
