      <title>SPEAK WEEK:  Digital Love / EP Release Party</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click &quot;I Like It&quot; for your chance to win a pair of FREE TICKETS!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Headlining the event is SPEAK! Taking a cue from those who inspired them, most notably Daft Punk, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/hearspeakhere&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.myspace.com');&quot;&gt;SPEAK&lt;/a&gt; is going to get down and dirty on the dance floor. Frontman Troupe Gammage has been recording music since age 11. Mesmerized by the compositions in his favorite video games, he started creating his own using rudimentary computer software.&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The result is body movement. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The highlight of the night will be SPEAK&amp;rsquo;s two set performance. The first set will feature a strong set of original music that showcase the timeless melodies in energetic, synth-laden anthems. The second set will be of everyone&amp;rsquo;s favorite electronic&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;love&lt;/span&gt; songs performed live! All this will be backed by a custom made light show on the gigantic 501 movie green screen. &amp;nbsp;Did someone say confetti cannons?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Opening up the night will be the debut performance from ex-Clap Clap! members&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://loveat20.bandcamp.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/loveat20.bandcamp.com');&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Love&lt;/span&gt; at 20&lt;/a&gt;. Followed by the &amp;ldquo;very, very promising&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/missionsinspace&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.myspace.com');&quot;&gt;Missions&lt;/a&gt; will keep the night going with their distortion and synth and filtered vox all the right places.&amp;rdquo; Check out the Mission&amp;rsquo;s dark club remix of&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;Love&lt;/span&gt; at 20&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;So Bad&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://this.bigstereo.net/2010/01/20/missions/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/this.bigstereo.net');&quot;&gt;on BIGSTEREO&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/markuswithak&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.myspace.com');&quot;&gt;DJ Markus with a K&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, who released the incredible &amp;lsquo;I HEART DAFT PUNK&amp;rsquo; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zshare.net/audio/17311580084419/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.zshare.net');&quot;&gt;mix&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; two years ago, will keep it moving between sets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Since this is a Knuckle Rumbler event, you know there will be extra fun set up. Included will be analog photo booth by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.annieray.net/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.annieray.net');&quot;&gt;Annie Ray&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, chocolates provided by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.milesofchocolate.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.milesofchocolate.com');&quot;&gt;MileS of Chocolate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, and custom, handmade&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;Digital&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;Love&lt;/span&gt; silk screen posters to the first 50 people in the door courtesy of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.southsidesanctuary.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.southsidesanctuary.com');&quot;&gt;Southside Sanctuary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. These posters will come in an exclusive V-Day mason jar with coupons for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sweetleaftea.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.sweetleaftea.com');&quot;&gt;Sweet Leaf Tea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; and a code to download &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;exclusive content from SPEAK&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Foot Patrol, Fresh Millions, Zorch, Learning Secrets</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey! Sitting alone on the night before valentines day? Yeah... you are. Join us instead and express your love for feet, rather then consuming all those marshmallows by yourself. Prince will probably be there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's going to be $5 (if you rsvp at massivebeacon.com/rsvp) and we'll be partying until late in the evening.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to 91.7 KVRX as well to potentially win some free tix.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Wild is the Wind - A Tribute to Nina Simone</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;On Saturday, February 20th, The Independent will host&lt;strong&gt; Wild is The Wind&lt;/strong&gt;, the second annual Nina Simone tribute created by Bemba Entertainment. On this very special evening, a tribute to the legend, Nina Simone, will take place in front of a limited audience. On this date, she will have turned 77. The doors will open at &lt;strong&gt;6pm&lt;/strong&gt; and the first performance will begin at 7pm. A &amp;ldquo;dress to impress&amp;rdquo; style is preferred but not required.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seven carefully chosen artists from the Austin area will pay tribute to the High Priestess of Soul. This very intimate evening will captivate you with performances by Pamela Hart, Akina Adderley, Kat Edmonson, Blues Mafia, Corrina's Dreamland Band, Chandra Washington, and Bryce Clifford. Each performance will bring a different style of music to the night. (Although different in style, they all share something very important, in common.) That is, that they have all been influenced by Nina Simone and they each have a very special place in their hearts for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tickets are on sale through &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tickets.frontgatetickets.com/choose.php?a=1&amp;amp;lid=39350&amp;amp;eid=45932&quot;&gt;Frontgatetickets.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$20 in advance and $30 at the door.  This event sold out last year and will most likely do the same this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doors open at 6pm and the first performance takes stage at 7pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Performers include:&lt;br /&gt;Pamela Hart&lt;br /&gt;Akina Adderley&lt;br /&gt;Kat Edmonson&lt;br /&gt;Blues Mafia&lt;br /&gt;Corrina's Dreamland Band&lt;br /&gt;Bryce Clifford &amp;amp; Co.&lt;br /&gt;and&lt;br /&gt;special guest&lt;br /&gt;Chandra Washington &amp;amp; her N.O.W. U. Project&lt;/p&gt;</description>
