Final Show of 2011

Headlining Trophy’s on Friday Dec. 16th!

We’re pretty psyched to be closing out the year with a cool show at Trophy’s (2008 South Congress Ave). It’s been a while since we’ve played there and this lineup of friends is perfect to start ringing in the holidays! Come early and stay late… There’s free parking and the show is inside, so you can get out of the cold, into hot Rock and raise a drink (and your fists) high! All the details:

An AWESOME holiday party featuring Austin’s most entertaining hard rockers:

Music between sets programmed by DJ WOMAN FROM MARS

$5/21+. Doors open at 8:00, and live music starts at 9:00.

Comment on the Anti-Gravity Agency page or RSVP to antigravityatx@gmail.com with the words: “Life On Mars” for a chance to win free admission +1! (2 winners randomly selected will receive a reply on the day of the show, by 5pm.)

“I’ve wanted to coordinate a hard rock show for a while now, so this will be a December to remember, and the final Anti-Gravity booking! But I’m promoting local and touring talent and events with great booking agents in 2012, and hopefully in many years to come.”
~”DIY” Danna

We’ll have T-shirts and CDS if you want to give the gift of ROCK this holiday season and we might even have some extra giveaways. We won’t judge if you’re naughty or nice, as long as you come have a good time.

International review and interview

Deserts of Mars was interviewed by Mourning/Graveless of Aristocrazia Webzine, an Italian website that features tons of great bands! Here is the review of “Transmission” (in Italian) and here is the interview in English and Italian.

On a personal note, this is super cool to me. My great-grandparents came from Sicily to Texas, so having my first international interview be from Italy is fantastic!

Thanks to this interview, I was also introduced to Gustnado. This one man rock machine has some truly killer tunes. You really need to check out Frank Tudisco’s fuzzed out rockin demo!If you happen to live anywhere near him, join up so we can go to Italy and tour together.
