<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">The video above was shot at one of our Voodoo Cowboy Session parties in 2011 by our friend Marty. The McMenamins actually broke our long drought that night when their song Umbrella Town made it rain.</span></i> <br />
<br />
The McMenamins are an Independent Acoustic Folk / Roots /Alt Country Brother & Sister duo from Far North Queensland, Australia. They are funding a new album through crowdsourcing site Pozible with support from people like us. The plan is to go into a fantastic studio in January and have the new album out in time for Australian and U.S. tours in the summer and fall of 2013.<br />
<br />
Pledge as little as $1 at <a href="http://www.pozible.com/themacs">http://www.pozible.com/themacs</a> and help support this exciting new album. And for as little as $15 you can get a copy of the new CD as a belated Christmas present! <b>Hurry, the pledge drive ends December 15.</b><br />
<br />
You can even try it before you buy it, so to speak! One of the tracks for the new album, <a href="http://vimeo.com/48942544">"My Way Home"</a>, was debuted at this year's Queensland Music Awards. <br />
<br />
Visit them on the web at <a href="http://www.themacswebsite.com/">www.themacswebsite.com</a> and listen to their music on <a href="http://www.sonicbids.com/themcmenamins">SonicBids</a> or <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/the-mcmenamins/id167755056">iTunes</a>.<br />
<br />
Your pledge could get you a private party, a candlelit dinner, a skype concert, signed albums, and more!<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Not in Today's Economy</span></strong></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: black;">Yep we've all heard the phrase "not in today's economy" more than enough lately. But the simple truth is that the general economy in the United States and around the world is exceptionally tight now and for the foreseeable future. In times like these it is natural to pull back on expenses. It is an understandable reaction to uncertainty. </span><br style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" />
<br style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="color: black;">Music and cultural arts are usually among the first things to be cut out of the ledger, whether it's our personal budgets or national spending priorities. But I urge you to remember the importance of the arts in our daily lives and the lives of future generations. When </span><strong><span style="color: black;">President Lyndon Johnson</span> </strong><span style="color: black;">signed the National Endowment on the Arts into existence he noted, </span><i style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">"Art is a nation's most precious heritage. For it is in our works of art that we reveal to ourselves and to others the inner vision which guides us as a nation. And where there is no vision, the people perish."</i><span style="color: black;"> </span><br style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" />
<br style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="color: black;">Groundbreaking events like the </span><a href="http://dartmusicinternational.org/events/iconawards/" style="color: red; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;">Austin Icon Awards</a><span style="color: black;">, </span><a href="http://dartmusicinternational.org/events/dmihouse/" style="color: red; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;">Dart Music International House</a><span style="color: black;">, and free community events happen because of your participation. We have been able to reach thousands of people from all over the world using music to promote </span><strong><span style="color: black;">international relations through interpersonal interactions</span></strong><span style="color: black;">.

<br style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="color: black;">You have the power to keep the arts alive in your community by supporting organizations like DMI, shopping at your local independently owned record store, going out to see live performances, or making your own art. In these tough times - </span><strong><span style="color: black;">especially</span></strong><span style="color: black;"> in these tough times - your support is vital. </span><br style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" />

<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: black;">They’ve been compared to bands like Gogol Bordello and Manu Chao, and their style is referred to as Italian world-music, gypsy-folk-rock, and even “rock-folk-swing.” Enrico Capuano is the band’s founder and is known in some circles as the “Bob Dylan of Italian folk-rock.” He and singer Dunia Molina of </span><a href="http://blondrecords.com/" style="color: red; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Tammurriatarock</a><span style="color: black;"> spoke with us from Rome on the eve of their 2nd US tour. </span><br style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" />
</span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: black;">“Our style is Rock Italiano,” say Enrico and Dunia. “Italian rock is very different from American rock. We try to keep the Italian roots and mix the traditional music with rock sounds and reggae. The base of our music is Tarantello. It's from South Italy - like American country music. It's like when you try to mix rock music with country music. It's underground music. We mix these kind of sounds with progressive music and old school music of the 70's.”</span></div>

TFR have been working on a new album over the summer (with new bass player Patrick Ryming and long-time guitarist Henrik Fischlein) and are now heading out on a globe-trotting world tour. Between the Iceland Airwaves festival, touring Denmark with LA band Nightmare Air, and coming back to the States in October for several festivals and club dates - it's a pretty busy fall 2012. </span></div>

</div>
<div>
As a musician heading to an overseas festival or tour, there are some unique concerns posed by international traveler that don't usually come up when playing at home. Most of your backline will have to be rented or borrowed locally, so make sure you have arrangements for amplifiers, drumkits, and other gear that you can't bring with you. Bands coming to the US, for example, normally bring guitars, effects pedals, computers, drum breakables (snare, cymbals, pedals), and electric keyboards. Be sure that you have power transformers if necessary for keyboards or electronic gear that require them.</div>

Disc Golf is played much like traditional golf. Players use flying discs and play holes that start with a tee area and end with a Disc Golf Basket or Target. The object: complete the hole by putting your golf disc in the basket in the fewest number of throws. The sport was formalized in the 1970s and is governed by the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA). There are over 3,800 courses worldwide with over 3,200 in the U.S.</div>

Johnny is a rock & roll musician in Austin who plays with
bands Liars And Saints as well as Skyrocket. He also plays solo gigs
around town and is working on a new EP. Johnny's podcast "How Did I Get
Here?" is one of the most popular programs with Austin music people
these days. He played at the first big event I ever produced, and it's a
real thrill to have him round out this summer series. Catch up with

We realize that not everyone can afford the $50 per ticket price tag but since the venue is on the small side, we only need about 6-8 volunteers to work the event. This role will primarily be filled by the Board of Directors, a few managers and the odd ...I mean "unique" character or two. <object apple-height="yes" apple-width="yes" data="cid:330@goomoji.gmail" goomoji="330" height="12" id="c4cdc51e-cccb-46a8-8881-00f34da78007" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.2ex; margin-right: 0.2ex; margin-top: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" type="application/x-apple-msg-attachment" width="12"></object> </div><div> </div><div>This year has been rough on our nations economy...and SCARE has felt the pinch as have many of you. I'm not afraid to tell you that cash donations are down more than 60% and we have had very few material donations as well. Times are tough all over. </div><div> </div><div>But, if you have the money to spare and you're not already volunteering for the event, please consider buying a ticket or two, bring a friend, and have a great time.</div><div>I am jumping the gun, and may get in a little trouble, but one of the VERY cool items up for auction is dinner at a very nice Austin steakhouse with none other than Lou "The Incredible HULK" Ferrigno! While you young folks might not know who he is...us old comic geeks certainly do.</div><div> </div><div>This is just one of the awesome things that will help us raise some much needed funds so we can continue to put on the nation's most amazing haunted adventure!!!</div><div> </div><div>Lastly, many of you make generous donations to SCARE each year. We would ask that if you had planned on making a donation, to consider making it at the SNEAK-PEAK.</div><div>By bidding on a similar dollar amount item, you may spur others to begin bidding, there-by increasing the amount of money we raise at this event. (which is kinda the point)</div><div>I already know what items I will be bidding on....<object apple-height="yes" apple-width="yes" data="cid:338@goomoji.gmail" goomoji="338" height="12" id="373ecb83-44c5-4eb2-97a8-4e363b2b01e9" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.2ex; margin-right: 0.2ex; margin-top: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" type="application/x-apple-msg-attachment" width="12"></object></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>We hope to see you there!</div><div>(if not, BUILD continues!!!)</div><div> </div><span style="color: #888888;"><div> </div><div> </div><div>-jarrett</div><div><br />
