#3 of the Tangled Snark Parties
Since diydanna is on holiday, away from her beloved Mac, we're keeping this weekend post relatively brief compared to her usual rambling.
You have to admire a truly do-it-yourself artist for thinking outside the box and not being afraid to try something new - something bigger and somehow better. The always affordable, and usually all ages show promoter Tangled Snark Productions, also known as musician, booking agent and promoter Singer Mayberry (Red Leaves) is challenging herself and local music fans are being rewarded this summer.
Tangled Snark has evolved from booking incredible (and sometimes overlooked) local music talent in smaller alternative (indie) music venues like Emo's Hole in the Wall, and The Parlor, to larger venues - like The Monarch Event Center - ideal for a summer concert series. The Monarch isn't too far north of the downtown madness, just off I-35, and perhaps the ideal location for the Tangled Snark Summer Parties.
Tangled Snark Summer Party #3 Headliner: Ume
Past party favorites have included Pataphysics, The Cari and Jason Band (Belaire), and The Ape-Shits, and tomorrow night marks the third party of the season, with the musical force known as Ume headlining. The band is taking time out from recording (check out their demos) to share the stage with other local talent: Ringo Deathstarr (silly name, seriously cool sound), and Haunting Oboe Music (orchestrated, experimental rock). Opening the party: Hey Zeus, Follow That Bird! (A name that gives me serious Sesame Street nostalgia), Red X Red M, and Prayer for Animals. You can search these bands on MySpace and add to their grassroots fan base. That's 7 bands for $7 and it's an early show, 7 pm, which makes it a great time for the very young and young at heart who love local music. How lucky we are, Austin!
The summer isn't over, and more Tangled Snark parties are on the way, so visit the official site for updates: myspace.com/tangledsnarkproductions.
