[Adta] DMT Mom excited about son's band

[Kinections]

<>This is not about dmt. It's about music. If you live in Austin, TX or 
anywhere nearby, my son, Avi Brown's , band, Benny Strange, will be part 
of a major music festival, South By Southwest.  FYI: I am not Danny 
Brown. He's a music critic. I had never heard of him until I opened my 
e-mail and read the following announcement this morning.

Can you tell? I am a proud mom.

The South By Southwest festival (SxSW) has been running for twenty years 
now. Bringing together the best that new music and media has to offer, 
it has long been a breeding ground for some of the brightest 
up-and-coming bands from all genres. Therefore, gaining an appearance 
slot there has become highly desirable.

ReverbNation, an online new music website that specializes in bringing 
bands and fans together under different genres, combined this year with 
SxSW, to run a competition where two lucky bands would be given the 
chance to win such an appearance at the festival. Voted for by a panel 
of judges at the ReverbNation site, the winners have just been announced.

Indie band Bennystrange are one of the winners and will play a coveted 
slot on Friday, March 16th 2007, at the Dirty Dog Bar as part of the 
SxSW festival being held in Austin, Texas. A five piece unit that 
combine lush arrangements with sweeping hooks, Bennystrange is beginning 
to generate a lot of buzz in the indie community. Their impending 
appearance at SxSW will only further that. I'll be reviewing their debut 
EP Nowhere Left To Run shortly here on Suite101, as well as running a 
feature on the band.
