Dart Music International Embassy
An embassy is usually associated with a building where diplomatic officers work and represent the interests of their people. Every month in 2010, we are turning The Parish into the official embassy for all the people of Dart Music International - our artists, allies, ambassadors, and you!
This is an opportunity to learn more about our organization and upcoming programs, hear music from our bands, catch great live performances from
our touring international artists and/or outstanding local artist Ambassadors, and to meet some of our Allied music-related organizations.
Admission is only $5 ($8 for under 21) and FREE with your
Backstage Pass VIP card.

STEREO IS A LIE (9:30)
"STEREO IS A LIE is loud and they rock, so it's easy to compare them to Muse - but I wouldn't say that's accurate. To me, they're more closely related
to the 90's alternative British pop scene, kinda like if Damon Albarn from Blur grew a pair, or if Noel Gallagher from Oasis stopped whining AND
grew two pairs. And I dare you to go to one of their shows and try to leave with your hearing still in tact."

Nick Hirsch (8:30)
Smitten with the sounds of Giberto Gil and the dance beats of samba rock, Nick taught himself Portuguese and Spanish then packed his mochila
and took his East Texas roots on the road. Somewhere along the way between Caracas and Sevilla Nick learned that music transcends culture and that a party is a fiesta and a
fiesta is a party.

Featured Ally: Grounded In Music
Grounded in Music was founded in Austin, Texas, the "Live Music Capital of the World," and has been inspiring children to turn to music since
Summer 2007. It has quickly become the signature program at the Boys And Girls Clubs of the Capital Area's East location. Instruction by great
musicians is offered to Grounded in Music participants in guitar, drums, keyboards, hip hop, and songwriting. Thanks to a great relationship with
The Recording Academy and music industry professionals, Grounded in Music
has brought Grammy-winning artists into the Club to share their music and experiences with our children and to highlight the positive impact music
has made on their lives. Our kids are also taken out of the Clubs and given "back stage" access to the music industry including production,
recording, and touring events.
