brochure for more information.
Held the third Tuesday of March each year (the night before the SXSW Music Festival begins), the DMI Night showcase highlights the variety of great musical artists who come to Austin from around the world with the common language of music binding them with each other and our local community. Our goal with this free public event each year is to try to expose as many people here to artists from as many continents as possible. So far we have featured 17 artists from all six inhabited continents, attracting approximately 1000 local music fans and conference attendees each year. Located at Friends Bar in the heart of 6th Street, it is just four blocks from the Austin Convention Center with easy access for everyone.
This free annual event is a "critic's pick" and is a regular stop for media and bloggers to experience 6 of the top international rock bands from around the world. Media and bloggers from around the world attend and create an international buzz on radio, television, and the internet. The 2010 show featured our strongest lineup yet, with some of the most important bands from the emerging Chinese and Central European music scenes, Latin Rock giants, and college radio chart-toppers. Two of the bands, Bang Bang Eche and Carsick Cars, have even been picked up by MTV Iggy as two of "The 25 Best New Bands In The World".
I didn't even know they had rock & roll bands in India. ... Who knew they had rock bands in Iran?
