This weekend's showcase at the Mix marks Local782's open membership to musicians and people in the community that care about conserving and rebuilding their local music community. The showcase celebrates Local782's membership launch as well as the 11 song digital compilation album featuring 11 up and coming bands out of San Antonio, TX. The show is at the Mix starting today, Friday and Saturday June 19th, 20th, and 21st at 11:00pm 21+.

All proceeds from the showcase this weekend will go towards Local782 and our efforts to rebuild relationships between our musicians, media and local music venues and businesses, and highlight S.A. artists and bands. If you care about your local music community or maybe you had no idea that one existed then this weekend would be a good time to meet many of them and see what Local782 is all about.

Remember you can also purchase the album online, the banners to AmazonMP3 and Itunes are located on our myspace page.

Our music is also available on Rhapsody and E-Music!

Noteworthy

I'll be OUT OF TOWN beginning Thursday and all throughout the weekend, so please get your posters to me asap.(I know, it's only Monday)

Anyone who has been to new venues such as Scout Bar, The Warhol, Blue Bubble Ballroom, etc., and would like to submit a review or feedback, please do so by contacting Rowan, SA Rocker or myself.

Same goes for new talent:) We'd love to hear from you!

Also, take a look at the blog's recent review/rating on the right hand column; Rowan's received an 8.4 rating, which just kicks major ass!

Thanks again to so many of you who have contributed.

I see the 2005 archives, and it makes a girl PROUD!

Happy belated anniversary to Rowan's SA Rocks!
