SMI Updates for November and December

It’s been a busy several weeks with our SMI family! Road trips through snow storms, Texas coming to town and some unfortunate network crashes.

We’re moving into 2011 with some exciting shows and upcoming ventures! A big show tonight and one tomorrow, see below for details.

Here are just some of the things our hard working SMI family has been up to the last couple months…

Superfekta breaks attendance record at Ace's Casino!
Superfekta played a Fan Appreciation show at Ace's Casino on Nov. 13. Josh, owner of Ace's Casino, said they broke the all time attendance record! The guys played for several hours and the energy level never waivered. They also introduced some new merch into the mix, including Shot Glasses, Beanies, Guitar Picks and Stickers. You'll be sure to see signs of Superfekta all over Snohomish County!

The Flanagan Precept rocks The Jet!
That same night, a little further south in Mill Creek, The Flanagan Precept joined by Counterfist and Urban Collapse rocked The Jet in Mill Creek on Saturday night. TFP, a huge contributer to the success of live music at The Jet, did what they do best. Music and vocals were spot on and the floor was packed when they finished the night, joined by Ol Small, with Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name Of". They provided a stellar light show to fans and the other bands. Thanks TFP for a great night!

Great night at Hayley’s!
Superfekta, Urban Collapse, Midstokke and Road 20 played to a packed house at Hayleys on Friday, November 19th. Energy was high and everyone had a great time! Also, special thanks to the guys in Arisen From Nothing and The Flanagan Precept for coming and supporting the show!!

Texas comes to WA!
John, Lisa and the guys in Underride braved the elements and headed to Spokane the week of Thanksgiving for a show at The A Club with Seven Cycles and Texas Hippie Coalition. It was a killer show with close to 200 people and almost beat out Trapt across the street in numbers! They all made it back to play Studio 7 the next night with Syztem 7 and Arisen From Nothing to another 200 rock fans! One lucky ticket holder won a Dean Guitar signed by the members of Texas Hippie Coalition.

Tacoma Rock Showcase!
Euphoria Productions had their first show in Tacoma at Hells Kitchen on Dec. 4th. Syztem 7, Arisen From Nothing, Mechanism and Unhailoed put on an excellent rock show! These are definitely bands to keep your eyes on!
