Perez Hilton’s One Night in Austin featuring Ed Sheeran

 Perez Hilton is at it again. For those of you who are unaware who this diva of media is, he is first and foremost the voice of celebrity gossip and news. Bursting into the blogworld in 2004 he hasn’t quit, adding infamous “One Night In..” parties to his repertoire, one of those cities being Austin, Texas. Yes, Perez began bringing his parties to Austin to celebrate the cities SXSW festival as well as prides itself as brining cutting edge musicians to showcase during his parties. The events have always been 21+ but this year, something a little different will be going on. Everyone has a fair shot at getting into his party! This year marks Perez’s 5th party, and it will benefit the VH1 Save the Music Foundation.

Perez wanted to change things up this year first by posting the statement “We want real music lovers and just music lovers this year”, why Perez thinks anyone attending SXSW is not a music lover baffles us however what Perez wants, Perez gets. Another thing that will be different about this year is that it is an official SXSW showcase.

Tickers can be purchased here, to guarantee entry into the party. And with general tickets being $25 and VIP only being $50, all ticket proceeds (100%) will however be going towards the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, so at least you know your money is going to a good cause. There will still be free booze and a great lineup you probably won’t want to miss.

****(updated 5:17pm) PEREZ IS MAKING YOU PAY FOR DRINKS. No free entry, and no free booze. You decide if this is worth your efforts!

The first of the lineup is artist Ed Sheeran, coming all the way from the UK!! The rest of the lineup isn’t released yet, so stay tuned here for the updates!

* Ed has also been named one of the top artists to watch at SXSW this year by the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

If you can’t catch Ed Sheeran at Perez’s party, you can catch him at the Filter Showdown at Cedar Street March 16th.

SXSW + VEVO + SPAGHETTI WAREHOUSE

VEVO’s making their way back to Austin for SXSW, and has released this video clip leaving us all guessing who they could possibly be bringing to SXSW this year.

Take a look for yourself and watch the video VEVO released two days ago:

As some of you may or may not have known, last year VEVO came to Austin bringing Kanye and his posse to perform a super exclusive secret show at the Austin Power Plant. While a lot of the efforts that went in to making sure the event brought a crowd and an audience succeeded, a lot of fans were turned away due to the confusion of the mass texts that were going out, and by the time Kanye made a delayed appearance to the stage, it was already into the wee hours of the morning.

Despite the setbacks of last year VEVO is pressing on and is at it again this year, taking on a smaller scale venue, but still one held near and dear to Austin’s heart. Spaghetti Warehouse is to host the VEVO SXSW showcase party, however the details of who the three performances are going to be is remaining a secret until VEVO makes an announcement via their twitter due sometime within the next week. VEVO is encouraging fans and followers to stay tuned to their Twitter to see who the secret performances are, and to hopefully get a shot at the RSVP to the exclusive party.

While that is all fun and games, we’re really anticipating who the performers are going to be and were wondering who you guys think VEVO is going to bring, or who you would hope to see VEVO bring!

Maybe Southern Crux well see you there!

NEW DANCE MUSIC by Bearstronaut

Bearstronaut creates dance music, music that soothes you and music that moves you. By way of Boston, these guys met in 2007 and have been creating music ever since. Nominated at this past year’s CMJ Festival as, “CMJ’s top bands to see”, it’s no surprise this quartet has been seen playing amongst bands like Passion Pit, and Dragonette.

We came across their music and couldn’t stop listening, the beats, the hidden undertones of electronics kept us entangled. I almost got the feeling I was listening to Friendly Fires if they had added a little r&b mixed with psychedelics.

Nontheless, we are so thrilled to share with you that we will be interviewing them at SXSW this year! This band has a really cool story of how they’re getting to Austin too! They will be helping make a documentary which you can check out here, about the road from Boston to Austin, and back! We were blown away and can’t wait to see all the fun that happens before getting to SXSW.

Catch the guys on Twitter, Facebook, and head on over to their Bandcamp where you can listen and download their new album for (NAME YOUR PRICE $$$).
