During Wampire's recent tour with Unknown Mortal Orchestra & Foxygen, the band stopped by Swan7 Studios in Brooklyn for a live Newtown Session for Noisey. Check it out above!
Ahhhh!!!! It's that time of year again! Oh the shenanigans that are sure to ensue. One of which (and this is probably the most important of all) is our official SXSW Showcase! It's all going down on Thursday, March 14th at Red Eyed Fly (starts at 8pm), and we've got a killer lineup!
Be sure to get there early because we're giving away some cool stuff, including our new PV samploozie (beer coozie + sampler), along with a few other nifty freebies.
* RSVP does not guarantee entry (just gives us an idea of how many are interested in going). * Red Eyed Fly will have a limited amount of tickets at the door, but we're not sure how many. So get there early if you don't have a wristband or badge.
A lot of our bands will be playing multiple shows while in Austin this year, so be sure to check out each of their schedules below.
