While selecting musical artists for the upcoming anniversary party, we noticed that many of the artists we were considering had something in common — they are members of the Austin Electronic Music Grid. So, rather than contact all the artists individually, I sent a note to Mary Abshier at the Grid, and asked if she would like to host a Grid showcase as part of the GeekAustin Anniversary Party. She said: Yes!
Tentatively, starting at 7PM, we’ll have laptop musicians performing in the BoomBoom Room Refresh Lounge. Then beginning at 8PM we’ll have Grid artists performing in the main room and on the roof — most likely until midnight. We are currently making arrangements with the artists, and hope to publish the acts and schedule within the next week.
I encourage you to check out the artists on the Grid. Some of my current favorites are Canartic, Carbon Theory, Dubnautica, My Dark Side, Death is not a Joyride. That’s only the beginning though. Check out the full list of Austin Electronic Music Grid Artists.
Remember, the GeekAustin Anniversary Party is free. Hope to see you there!
