Band Battle for Bite 2011

Mix 94.1's Band Battle for Bite will be held September 15, 2011 at the House of Blues.  Bands making the top 8 of all entries will compete to be among the top 4 who get to play for thousands at Bite of Las Vegas in October 15!  Local bands, it's not too late.  You have until August 31, 2011 to enter.  Go here for details.  Everybody else, go see the Battle and root on your favorite local band.  Who knows, in a couple of years you might have to pay $150 to see any one of these bands in concert.  Why not see them as they get their big chance?

Stay tuned, the line-up for Bite, with the exception of the local bands, will be announced on Monday morning (08/29/11)!  I hear it's a good one.

Pet-a-Palooza!

Okay, so there shouldn't be an exclamation point in the title.  C was sick, so we couldn't go to Pet this year.  Ho-hum.  Anyway, I have it on good authority that there's some pretty awesome pictures, interviews, and performances here, on the Mix 94.1 site.  More to come, I suspect, so keep checking back.  I was so sad to miss it, and especially Andy Grammer.  I think we'll be hearing a lot from him in the future.  What say you?  Here's a cover....



Oh, and C is much better now, thank you. 

Pet-a-palooza 2011: Train, David Cook, Fefe Dobson, Andy Grammer

Mix 94.1 fm Pet-a-Palooza!
April 9, 2011
Star Nursery Fields, Sam Boyd Stadium, Las Vegas
$8 for adults, free for children under age 3 (-$2 with donation of canned pet food item)
Music, pet adoption, pet-themed entertainment, shopping, etc, etc.

A portion of the ticket price benefits the 40 non-profit Animal Rescue groups that will be at the event. 

If you've been considering adopting a pet, that option is available at the event.  OR, you can bring your leashed pet.  In the past I've seen tons of dogs, a few (brave) cats, birds, snakes, ferrets, an iguana, and a pig.  However, I encourage you to think about how your pet will react to a large crowd, other animals, and the weather before bringing them. 

The rules:
-no outside food/drinks
-no coolers
-no chairs
-no re-entry

There are plenty of good options for food and drink at the event, and the stage is fairly high, so you'll be able to see if you're sitting on a blanket or wandering the booths.

More info, including a David Cook interview and an interview with Jimmy from Train:

Personally, I'm excited to see Andy Grammer, and Train is always good.

Pet-a-Palooza 2011

So the 2011 Mix 94.1 Pet-a-Paloooza is fast approaching, and I have a solid source that tells me that this year's line-up will be Awesome.  Capital "A" awesome.  I believe it'll be announced on Monday, so in the meantime, reminisce with me on past Pet-a-Paloozas via the KMXB web site, and catch an hour of the best performances from them on Sunday at 9am.  My faves have been Mat Kearney, Gavin DeGraw, & The Script.

Update:  See the lineup here.

Flash Mobs

I know, I know, flashmobs aren't exactly novel.  Still, I love 'em.  I love how the mobsters are having a good time and how the unsuspecting witnesses are so surprised and thrilled.  I love that they make me feel like crying to see all the warm fuzzies in the onlookers and the participants.  This one is extra good, since it's for a good cause.  A group of elementary and middle schoolers in Canada created this anti-bullying flashmob to Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Ares" at a mall to promote acceptance.  Good kids, good cause, good song.  (Sidenote:  Really, Bruno Mars??  Cocaine?  You're better than that.)  Found via Poppytalk.
