Fresh Millions CD Release and Focus Group EP Release at The Scoot Inn - FREE w/ No Mas Bodas and DJ Sets by Butcher Bear

Come join us at The Scoot Inn on Friday, May 7 for an evening full of musical madness. Austin live / electro / funk / rock party power trio Fresh Millions will be premiering their debut album, produced by THE SWORD's Bryan Richie. The genre-defying Focus Group will also be celebrating the release of their brand new 'Unicornography EP'.

But wait, there's more! The ladies of No Mas Bodas will be getting down on some electrifying garage-synth action, and Butcher Bear will be in the house with his always entertaining and eclectic DJ sets. To keep you fully stimulated, VidKidz will be there with light throwing, video mapping, synesthesia/radical radness. They make sound visible. You don't want to miss this!

Here's what the people are saying:

"Drawing from modern experimental groups like Ratatat and the Octopus Project, Fresh Millions takes a tangle of cables, laptops, loopers and live instruments and turns it into an parade of quasi-electronic jams." -Austin Sound Check

"Fresh Millions brings the flair of the underground warehouse parties of older days into the live music scene of the Red River District. With a non-stop “dance party” style, this group is sure to electrify any audience." -East Austinite

"The Ritalin kids of Focus Group value consistency over compression. The surprisingly smooth instrumental workouts on the quartet's eponymous EP dabble in everything from glitch-pop and ragtime jazz to galactic funk and trip-hop, at times recalling early Drums & Tuba, only with heavy doses of trombone." -Austin Chronicle

"If Austin is a musical melting pot for different genres, then local ensemble Focus Group is a perfect embodiment of the endless possibilities." - Daily Texan

"Part of a recent proliferation of ex-orchestra kids taking their classical training and getting freaky with it, No Mas Bodas blends synthesizers and subtle electronic beats with cello, xylophone, and bleats of saxophone into an avant-punk sound that’s equal parts Raincoats, Liliput, Siouxsie And The Banshees, and Arthur Russell. In short, it’s the sort of hyper-smart, surreptitiously catchy, high-art oddity that makes other bands look like cookie-cutter knock-offs." -A.V. Club
