Help Support Bounce At SXSW

January 27th, 2010

New Orleans Block Party

For the first time, the South By Southwest music conference is hosting an official showcase of classic bounce and the artists need financial support to help make this happen. Artists on the bill include Partners-N-Crime, DJ Jubilee, Katey Red, Big Freedia, Vockah Redu, Magnolia Shorty and Ms Tee.

As you may know, SXSW has booked its first-ever official showcase of
classic New Orleans bounce. The seven artists on the bill are all
straight-up originators of the sound, and few have gotten their just
due for their awesome contribution to New Orleans music. We need your
help getting them to Austin in March, and we have some kickass rewards
in store for generous helpers who believe in getting the music out
there.

Below is the link to our fundraising page. Please blog it, share it,
forward it, repost it and do all those social networking things people
do with it!
