Fairs, Festivals, and Tours – Oh My!

Wow what a busy few months for the EPI-Records/Showcase Music Industries stable! Congratulations to EPI-Records Recording Artists UNDERRIDE and SEVEN CYCLES on their tours slated to begin later in the month of August. Underride will support Cold on date while Seven Cycles heads out with Chevelle on multiple dates. Please continue to support our artists as they embark on their tours by calling into radio stations such as Rock94.5 in Spokane, KGRG in Auburn, or KXRX in Tri-Cities and request “Paparazzi” by Underride and “Seize the Day” by Seven Cycles. Let’s send these talented bands out on the road with support from their home base! Way to go, guys!

RIVERBEND, UNDERRIDE and SUPERFEKTA have been invited to and are performing at many of the festivals in the area - check out the Events Calendar at www.showcasemi.com for dates/times. RiverBend and Superfekta are also headlining the 1st Annual Northwest Rockfest presented by KISW’s Loud & Local LIVE at the Evergreen State Fair on September 2nd, performing on the same stage that One Republic and Cheap Trick will be earlier in the week! EPI-Record label mates SYZTEM7 are on that bill as well as are SMI affiliated bands Arisen From Nothing, and Nether. The one and only JEETZ from KISW will be emceeing the daylong event. Advanced tickets are available at www.showcaseboxoffice and full line-up at www.showcasemi.com.

SMI will be in Wenatchee the week of September 7-8 for CUSP (College University School Partnership) and will have a booth to promote other SMI bands to talent buyers as well and cheering on EPI-Records Recording Artists’ RIVERBEND for their showcase there as well as Showcase Music Industries’ THE FLANAGAN PRECEPT. SMI is very proud to have two artists selected for this annual event as there are many bands coveting those limited spots to showcase their talents.

The Northwest Rock Throwdown Finals are on August 17th where the winner will receive studio time at Jupiter Studios and other cash and prizes. The bands making the final cut are Klover Jane, Nether and Sweet Kiss Momma. Independent Music Industry Executive Vicente Pena will be one of the judges on hand where the winner will be crowned THAT NIGHT at Tulalip Resort Casino. Join us for an exciting, entertaining event beginning at 9:30pm at Canoes Cabaret.

And last but certainly not least, congratulations to THE FLANAGAN PRECEPT, Midstokke and SUPERFEKTA on a rockin’ show at The Hard Rock CafĂ©-Seattle! One of the premiere venues in Seattle, we look forward to future performances there!
