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!

Badgeless: Multi Day Parties!

It’s not just about the great bands you will see at SXSW, the free beer is too a top priority, and there is a plethora of opportunities for you to get some free beer while supporting some great shows, who knows, you MIGHT even see a band worth remembering!!!

SXSW also is home to the IFC Crossroads house, you know the TV channel that hosts Portlandia (we still think it should have been Austonia!) will be in Austin during Interactive/ Film and Music. And there will be beer and bands and comedy to feed all your senses. Some bands to check out while you’re there are : Reptar, Citizen Cope, and Youth Lagoon. The house is open, and you don’t need to RSVP, obviously it’s first come first serve, so if there IS a band you want to see you better show up early! Oh, we almost forgot to mention, you’ve heard of the Freecreditscore.com band, oh yeah, they’ll be at the IFC Crossroads house playing too!

Another opportunity for beer during the Interactive portion of SXSW, but does need an RSVP, is the Cooking Channel Beer Garden @ Easy Tiger. There will be free food and beer, and they say there will be live music, so you can’t go wrong with this one. Plus, it’s sponsored by the Cooking Channel, they have some great recipes on there! This event will be 21+, but your RSVP, gets you access all three nights (March 9th, 10th, and 11th)

This final party we’re sharing for this post is gonna be a Facebook RSVP, called the Core Power Day Parties at Skinny’s Ballroom. From Thursday March 15- Friday March 16th. There will be free beer, swag, food, and doors are at 11:30am both days. This one is sponsored by Balcony TV and Tx State University Radio- KTSW, so you know it’s gonna be good.

STAY TUNED! @Southerncruxpr
