Pictures from 40 Rocks: a Jen Leduc Birthday

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

I am a slacker. Jen Leduc’s birthday was a couple weeks ago and I am just now getting around to posting the pictures. Well, here they are!

Don’t give me that “who’s Jen” stuff, either. If you don’t know her personally, you’ve seen her at shows. Seriously, this chick goes to more shows than even us music blog types. She’ll be the one near the front of the stage, taking pictures with a point & shoot digital camera.

Jen celebrated her birthday in style at Beauty Bar with musical help from Ideal Soul Mart, STEREO IS A LIE, and Buttercup. Beauty Bar was hopping that night, as they were hosting Learning Secrets 6 year anniversary party at the same time.

From TwoGroove with love: Happy Birthday, Jen!

Here are the pics, feel free to grab them and post them to Facebook or whatever.

Show Report: Infected Mushroom at Republic Live

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

So last Thursday I am at work, minding my own business, when Mike from NightCulture sends me a text asking if I would cover the Infected Mushroom show that night at Republic Live. Before that text, my night only had the potential to be mostly awesome (the default setting). After, it was headed into “totally” territory. For you see, I am a giant electronic music dork and I freaking love Infected Mushroom.

For the uninitiated: Infected Mushroom was an Israeli psy-trance duo, much the way Pendulum was a drum n’ bass DJ duo. Both groups added live instrumentation to the mix and started playing rock heavily influenced by their previous DJ experience. Both groups still go on DJ tours, but it’s the live show you really need to see.

Infected Mushroom made Republic Live the Austin stop on their US tour, joined by locals Randy Seidman, DJ Exceed and Mike Cherches. So, without further ado, here’s The Good, The Bad, and the Funny (below the break). Check the bottom of the post for a set of pictures, including a good one of the huge, creepy mushroom that was on stage!

Pictures from the Frantic Clam EP Release Party

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Check out these great pictures from Trevor Ray Thompson. This is a (very) small sample of the pictures you can find here. It was pouring outside, but plenty of you crazy people came out to Beauty Bar to drink free rum and see some fantastic bands. I’m happy to announce that, despite the crappy weather, the show was a success!

Gotta start it off with a picture of yours truly, flanked by Marhsall and Michelle. They bring the awesome known as Uvumi, and were a key sponsor of the show. Stay tuned for some more info about Uvumi, as well as some pictures taken by Marshall.

The rest of the pictures are below the break.

Show Report and Pictures: Mega Buzz

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Mega Buzz, presented by Massive Intent

Just after Thanksgiving, Massive Intent held its latest rave at the Travis County Expo Center. Mega Buzz was a massive electronic music event featuring music from some top-notch acts including The Glitch Mob, Above & Beyond, and Christoper Lawrence, as well as a laundry list of local DJ talent. From turntablism to trance, almost all genres were represented by the enormous host of DJs that took turns on the various stages.

As usual, TwoGroove was there to cover the event. The show report below is followed by a small gallery of pictures of some of the DJs and performers. A separate gallery of the crowd will come soon.
