SA Rocks - November Stats for Sponsors

Once again, we are plugging for SPONSORS for the New Year at $50 a year for a banner like you see on the right-hand column!

Please give it some thought as we need to make this site viable to continue.

I, for one, would like to see things like this grow rather than die out after so many years...

(The Current's write-up)

SA Rocks
(sarocks.com)

If you’re looking for the lowdown on San Antonio’s music scene, this is the place. In addition to a comprehensive list of local venues, bands, and live-music schedules, SA Rocks provides a Music Jukebox, which showcases tracks from a plethora of local artists. The site also features a classifieds section, where musicians can post anything from “bandmates wanted” to ads pertaining to rehearsal space and equipment.

Monthly Statistics for November 2008 as of 11/23

Total Hits 122,236

Hits per Hour - Avg 221
Hits per Hour - Max 693

Hits per Day - Avg 5,314
Hits per Day - Max 7,360

*If you'd rather not have a banner and would rather contribute a buck or two for the server, forum, and Nightly Listings, that would be awesome as well...

JOKESTER will be appearing with good friends MOXY at the KZEP Harley Giveaway at Javelina Harley Davidson in Boerne, Texas.

We'll be bringing along our new vocalist - none other than the legendary and notorious Russ Dwarf of the Killer Dwarfs. This is sure to be a highly exciting and energetic event.

For this show, JOKESTER will be breaking from the studio where they have been hard at work recording their second CD slated for release in early 2009.

Expect the band to play some of that new material at this concert.

Make your plans to be there as this will be another fantastic event from the great folks at Nikita Productions, KZEP and Javelina Harley Davidson.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!!!!!

Saturday, Gonzaba will celebrate his birthday at Sam's Burger Joint. The all-out rock bill will include, in order of appearance beginning at 9 p.m., Bulvai, Dround, Harmsway and Xcuse2Drink. Gonzaba will play drums with all the bands. That's a lot of work for one birthday.

The Heroine, Top Dead Center, Broken Teeth, So Unloved, Eden Burning 11/22 @ Rock Bottom

http://www.myspace.com/rockbottomtattoobar

The Heroine, local rockers with a Christian/positive message repertoire and a fearless attitude that finds the band playing almost every venue imaginable, recently did a gig at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles. The Heroine was one of six finalists in the Guitar Center On Stage Make Rock History contest in which bands competed for a pile of prizes and the chance to open for Mötley Crüe. The Last Vegas won the grand prize, but the Heroine will return to play the Whisky in January on a tour with another of the contest finalists, The Spittin' Cobras.

Saturday, fans can congratulate The Heroine when the band works Rock Bottom Tattoo Bar with Broken Teeth, Top Dead Center, So Unloved and Burning Eden. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. Cover charge for the all-ages show is $8.
