April 26: Plaza Midwood Community Radio

Hey dudes, I did this radio show last week with Plaza Midwood Community Radio. It starts off right with me talking but you will pick up on the idea asap. It features some of the bands playing the Fest, not all, but it will give you a good place to start with some of the bands that you might not be too aware of.

April 26: Benefit Show is Tomorrow

The benefit show is tomorrow. If you live in Charlotte you should be there. If you live close to Charlotte then you should still be there. Local favorites, One Another, Moenda, Pullman Strike, along with newbies, Meat Group (Brain F, Logic Problem, Joint D) and AM/FMs are helping us raise some money to pay the 60+ bands on the Treasure Fest II weekend. We will also be selling tickets to Treasure Fest so bring cash or even a debit card and show your support.

Monday we will be releasing raffle information but for now we can tell you that the following labels are participating... No Idea, Tiny Engines, Sorry State, Self Aware, Fat Sandwich, and Lunchbox Records. The Fest will be offering up a ticket as well in the raffle.

If you want to post anything Treasure Fest related on twitter then please use the following hash tag: #tfclt Thanks for the support!!!

April 23- LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY!!!

Treasure Fest II is coming up on us quick. We may still need help with housing bands that are playing the fest and we may also need to borrow some PA equipment and microphones/stands. Not sure how much, but please contact us.

We also are working on solidifying raffle prizes. So far we have Lunchbox Records, Sorry State Records, Self Aware Records, Fat Sandwich Records, Tiny Engines Records, No Idea Records and maybe a few more. You know what that means? It means that if you buy a ticket you and possibly a couple friends (runner-ups) could win a whole lot of records. More than $100 worth. Pretty awesome, but wait, there is more!!! Fest 11, in Gainesville, FL has graciously donated a ticket to our raffle. Basically you can win an $85-125 FEST 11 ticket for ONLY $25. That is insane. The Fest is October 26-28 and there are over a hundred bands playing. Bands such as Braid, Lagwagon, Night Birds, Algernon Cadwallader (also on T-Fest), and the almighty 7 Seconds.

If you buy your ticket before midnight on May 17th, the day before Treasure Fest begins, then you can surely win some awesome stuff. If not then you are still supporting a DIY and local festival that brings so many regional, national and international acts to Charlotte, NC. It doesn't hurt that it is located in the best neighborhood in North Carolina, Plaza-Midwood. Come out and support stuff. Stay tuned for more raffle details!!!
