The Bright Light Social Hour
Born out of a university art-rock collective, Austin's own The Bright Light Social Hour has evolved into an unabashedly wide-screen rock group, melding fists-up rock and roll with muscular funk, soul, and psychedelia. The band recently swept the 29th Annual Austin Music Awards during SXSW 2011 with an unprecedented 6 wins, including Band of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year ("Detroit"). The Central Texas-raised young men of The Bright Light Social Hour have built their growing reputation through exhilarating widely-acclaimed live shows, including the 2009 Austin City Limits Festival. In culmination of their studied development, the band released their debut full-length album in late 2010, simply titled "The Bright Light Social Hour". Recorded in five studios around Austin during summer 2010, the album is founded on sun-drenched optimism, raucous youth, and an innovative brew of American music of varying types - hard rock and roll, indie, rhythm and blues, dance and soul. Producer Danny Reisch of Good Danny's utilized the best elements of vintage and modern recording to achieve a sound both forward-looking and evocative of 1970s hi-fi. The Bright Light Social Hour will be touring nationwide in support of their debut album and live EP into 2012. Replete with their vital sound, deep brotherhood, and ever-growing facial hair, the band is steadfast in their singular aim - enduring rock and roll.

Ishi
Ishi formed in Dallas, Tx as a duo with John T. Mudd & Brad Dale late 2005. Their sound derived from their vision to unify the instrumentation of Folk music with the endless soundscapes of electronic production. They started the recording process early 2006 with the intent to take their listeners on uplifting journey exploring new sounds & resolving back to their forefather "Folk" which inspired it all. Their live performance has been evolving with the addition of singer Taylor Rea (2008), drummer J.J. Mudd (2009) & guitarist Rob Bastien (2010). Known for their sobering dance moves/duets and their ability to get Dallas' notoriously somber crowds moving, Ishi has gained a much deserved reputation as being a promising new act. Ishi released their debut record "Through The Trees" May, 2010 & received two awards in the 2010 Dallas Observer Music Awards for "Best New Act" & "Best Electronic/Dance Band".
