Help some local bands mess with Texas

For the third year in a row, a large caravan of Kansas City/Lawrence and other regional bands will invade Austin, Texas, during the annual South by Southwest music conference, which runs March 14-18. The MidCoast Takeover will be March 16 and 17 at an Austin venue called the Shangri-La. The organizers are throwing four fundrasing shows on four consecutive Fridays starting  Feb.10 to raise money for this event (they gotta rent the  place, for starters). The list of fundraisers is below. Admission to each show is $10; the RecordBar and Czar shows are 18-and-olderl. Also, if you are in a band that is interested in applying to perform at the Takeover, the deadline is Feb. 1. Go here for more information.
