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!!!

There will be the same awesomeness and an added dose of spectacular this May. Please clear your calender for May 18-19, because we are going to party!!! This may be our last year on this planet so we need to make it a special one. Once again the fest will be situated in the lovely Plaza-Midwood neighborhood and the shows will be held at Snug Harbor, Studio 1212, Common Market(Saturday), Lunchbox Records, Thirsty Beaver and a couple other venues that have not been confirmed at this moment. With more venues comes more responsiblility and with more venues comes MORE bands!!!

We can't announce the lineup just yet but expect some returning bands and a lot of new ones this go around. Just like last year we are focusing on up and coming DIY bands in the Carolinas, the souteast, the east coast (as a whole) and a couple international acts as well. Do your homework when the time comes and make sure you find your new favorite band for the weekend, you will not be let down!!! Here is a video from Day 1 of last year's fest from the amazing Rob Benjamin.
