The Black and White Years:
During SXSW 2007, Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads discovered this local gem during their showcase. His enthusiasm for the group led to him producing their debut LP, and recruiting Steve Ferrone of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to perform the drum tracks. This led the band to sign with Brando Records which released their first LP in 2007. Since then, the band has performed at festivals such as Austin City Limits Festival, Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, London, and Midem in Cannes, France. In 2009, the band was awarded five music awards during SXSW including Best New Band, Best Song (“Power to Change”), Best Bassist, Best Performing Rock Band, and Best Producer. The song, “Power to Change” has been charted at Waterloo’s Top Ten Songs for numerous weeks and has been on regular rotation on 101X.

L.A.X.:
Emerged from the house party scene, electro group, L.A.X. combines a dance hybrid of house, R&B, and pop. Their invigorating live performance has made them a standout band, being recognized by influential blogs and media outlets. Recently, L.A.X. performed at ACL Festival and is scheduled to perform at this year’s Fun Fun Fun Fest with The Black and White Years.

The Bright Light Social Hour:
The Bright Light Social Hour, an Austin indie rock band who recently played at ACL Festival after winning Dell Lounge’s “Sound and the Jury” contest. The band competed with over 1500 bands from around the world in multiple rounds of public and industry voting, culminating in a final battle of the bands at Antone’s Nightclub two nights before the kickoff of ACL. Supported by hundreds of their local fans, the band garnered an unanimous vote from industry judges. Industry judges included reps from Paste Magazine, Spin Magazine, 101X, etc. Tim Basham with Paste Magazine said, “Their Dell Stage performance [at ACL] didn’t disappoint. They are a blast to watch, and I can’t get their songs out of my head.”

Neiliyo:
Neiliyo is a solo electro-funk producer/performer from Austin, TX. His high energy shows with simply an iPhone, a guitar and a charismatic “free-form MC” vocal style has kept him in demand at club shows, house parties, and boat parties around the US since his premiere in July 2008. Neiliyo’s debut LP, “People Skills” and the “Copywriting 101″ mixtape have received huge reviews from Austin’s finest critics, ranging from Partyends.com to Austinist and more. Neiliyo best describes himself as a “Me”J as opposed to a “DJ”, approaching electronic music at a fresh new angle for everybody to shake to.
