As promised, we took a bunch of pictures at Hangout. Here they are for your viewing pleasure! click the slideshow to view the photos larger on Picasa web albums. Considering that you can't take a professional camera in to music festivals, I think we took some pretty good pictures.

Come to AlleGreen Music Festival with us this weekend!

AlleGreen is going down April 22-24 at Durhamtown in Union Point, Georgia!

We're pretty damn excited.

The music starts on Friday, but you can start setting up your campsite on Thursday. Because Mac is hosting trivia at Amici in Covington on Thursday night, we will be arriving on Friday morning.

It's hard to read the smaller names on the lineup poster here, but you can find all of the information about the festival on their website:

Bonnaroo 2011 Cafe Acts!



While we were at Wanee, Bonnaroo announced the 2011 Cafe acts. We couldn't wait to explore them when we got home!


To most people, Bonnaroo is all about the big names, but "Troo Music Lounge" has actually been one of our most favorite things about Bonnaroo in past years. We've seen a lot of great shows and discovered many of our favorite bands there."Cafe Where?" is also pretty cool.


The cafe acts we've been getting into this year: Gary Clark Jr., Aaron Wood, Cory Chisel & the Wandering Sons, Hesta Prynn, Infantree, Aunt Martha, the Band of Heathens, the Black Box Revelation,Walk the Moon, Civil Twilight, and, of course, LIONIZE!!!!


We just wish our friends in the Captain Midnight Band were there :-(

The Music Junkies are going to Wanee Festival!!! leaving at 7 a.m.

It's an awesome festival in Live Oak, Florida. We had a great time last year, so Mac's parents are taking us this year to celebrate Mac's birthday. We will also hopefully be meeting up with Trey Bliss, guitarist of Verge of Bliss, while we are there.

If for some reason you want to read more about the festival and wallow in regret that you didn't hear about it in time, go here:<

But seriously, what an incredible lineup!



We'll see you guys next week!


I'll leave you with some music

Behold! The 472 artists on Bandcamp performing at SxSW this year... You have 1 day, 6 hours, 32 minutes and 42 seconds of music remaining


http://bandcamp.com/sxsw

Thank you, Bandcamp!

Once again, the Music Junkies are not able to go to SxSW, but we can "be there" vicariously. Some day, in the far far future, we will be able to go to every concert and festival we want and only be limited by conflicts between shows.

Man, school is inconvenient.

Savannah Stopover Promo Video

Savannah Stopover Promo from Savannah Stopover on Vimeo.


The inaugural Savannah Stopover Festival, capitalizing on the logistical good fortune of Savannah, Georgia’s proximity to interstates 95 and 10, will present traveling musicians with a welcoming place to play en route to Austin’s prestigious SXSW Music Festival. The small, vibrant coastal community is rife with a unique brand of lowcountry hospitality and southern gothic ambiance, not to mention home to a burgeoning music scene, music-hungry demographic, and established arts community. The four-day festival will merge music, visual arts, and technology components – much in the spirit of SXSW itself – in an intimate, historical setting and at a price unrivaled by any music festival of like scale and scope.

A collaborative effort of MusicFile Productions and countless volunteers, partners, vendors, and media sponsors, the Savannah Stopover will showcase over 50 bands in more than ten local venues. Bands will enjoy the quirky, shamelessly social elements of Georgia’s Hostess City while festival-goers will be exposed to up-and-coming bands in closer, more personal environs.

The Festival is being ticketed with four-day and single-day passes that allows access to all shows/venues up to venue capacity. Get your passes by clicking on the ShowClix button on any page of the website.

I wish we could go to this... but it's such short notice.
