After The Jump at SXSW – NYCTaper a New Member of ATJ

I guess now is as good a time as any to announce that in January NYCTaper was offered and accepted a membership in the After The Jump music blog cooperative.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to make the SXSW trip, but expect some great NYC stuff this summer.

Here is the official press announcement and the poster above is the final SXSW line-up:

“After the Jump is headed down to Austin for the second year in a row, bringing back our killer Official SXSW showcase, full of bands we think you’ll be reading about all this year, and our off the hook, out of control house party.

So for all those with a badge or wristband, come join us Thursday night, 9pm, at The Rusty Spurs.

And for those of you going rogue (or just looking to avoid the overpacked showcases of 6th St.), come out to the East Side of Austin, to an old school house party, FRIDAY, March 20th, Noon-???

Last year’s house party was a rager with 6 drained kegs in less than three hours and a bust up by the cops. But the law couldn’t bring that party down, we continued on into the wee hours of the night, and it certainly won’t again this year. We’ll be returning to the scene of the crime with headliners SUPERDRAG, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Cause Co-motion, US Royalty, Parenthetical Girls, Evangelicals, Howlies and more. And this time, Red Stripe and Vitamin Water will be making sure we don’t run out of drinks and Rugby (by Ralph Lauren) will be providing goodies.”
