South By So What? A guide to alternative Austin music happenings: organizations

South By So What?: organizations (2002)

Organizations:

Here's some information about organizations and businesses that are participating in some fashion, whether by sponsoring music, just throwing a party, or some other kind of way. Basically, everything that doesn't fit anywhere else.

Bill Groll's austinamericana.com includes lots of information on local music and venues, as well as CD reviews and some nifty pictures. Bill also offers a weekly gig list via email (and no spam!). Also see the listings for his showcase at C. T. Pepper's on Satuday, and his listing under friends.
The Hideout is a Chicago club that features everything from rock music (one local magazine named them Best Rock Club) to fashion shows and fundraisers. They generally have some kind of get-together.
Miles Of Music record store. They have a cool selection of Americana, rock, and other unclassifiable stuff. I've ordered from them in the past and gotten excellent service. Although they're not doing anything publically, you'll see their folks around the various shows.
John Conquest's Third Coast Music -- a monthly publication featuring music reviews and criticism by various curmudgeons who like their music real. He's carried the ball trying to get people to publicize their shows for several years. (In fact, all the information about previous years' events is cribbed directly from past issues of 3CM).
Twangfest will be hosting showcases on Thursday from 1-5pm at Jovita's and again on Friday from 1-5pm at the Texas Café. They are a non-profit dedicated to promoting great American music (in whatever form that means to you :-) ).
