The showcase was held inside to escape the heat (and light for those with laser shows!). Our musical lineup included: Ray Prim, Space Crazies, Mighty Mountain, Awkward Robot and Sour Bridges. To finish the night out we had a Costume Couture show by Mardi Gras designer, Hazel Mahony. And that was just the inside stage...

Outside, on Club DeVille's mainstage, we had LED lit hula hooping. By the entrance sat one of our sponsors, Garbo's Lobster Truck ATX, which sold out long before the night was over. Texas Music Water was flowing freely all around and Circle C sponsored us with their delicious BLUR brew. A video is in the works from the live interview corner we set up to chat with every performer following their set. I'll be posting the final edit soon, so be sure to check back.

As for what's next- I'm planning another event for the new year showcasing female fronted bands. And of course after that, there's always SXSW. Email thedeliaustin@gmail.com to get involved. Advertising and sponsorship inquiries can be sent to that email as well. Thank you again to our sponsors: The Good Music Club, TRCOA, Garbo's Lobster Truck, Texas Music Water, Circle C, The Flier Fairy, Unabashed Productions, Club DeVille and last but not least, CourtPie Photography for the great images. See you next time! -Written by Charise Sowells

This is the first of a new quarterly showcase series presented by Austin's Deli Magazine! Not only will 5 awesome local bands be playing, but we'll also have a live video interview area, a fashion show and hula hoopers to keep things wild and weird, in true Austin fashion.

The Good Music Club and TRCOA will be awarding special prizes for the participating bands. Texas Music Water will be keeping everybody hydrated. Garbo's Lobster Truck ATX will be keeping the crowd full. And FREE beer from Circle C Brewery will be provided until the keg runs dry.

Doors open at 6pm. $10.00 with 2 canned goods for Food Is Free, $12.00 without. Ray Prim will be starting out the night followed by Space Crazies, Mighty Mountain, Awkward Robot and Sour Bridges. We'll see you at Club DeVille tomorrow, 8/23/13! --Written by Charise Sowells

Smooth as butter on a hot summer day, the groovy bass lines and silky harmonies of The LaRues melt all over you when you listen to their self-titled album, The LaRues. Fronted by three female singer-songwriters, this piping hot band has been turning their personal heartbreaks and original love songs into a funky good time since 2010. Their behind the scenes video will tell you the whole serendipitous story of how the members came together and their process of creation.

For the live act, they've got a sweet spot in the Oh Snap! Festival, 7/13/13, at the Historic Scoot Inn. You can check out the rest of the lineup here also featuring Dana Falconberry, The Hikes, Space Crazies and Emily Wolfe. If you just can't wait until then, Antone's is up next, 7/11/13. -Written by Charise Sowells
