The buildup has been intense but the wait is finally over. After months of recording, touring and planning, two incredible bands–The Rocketboys and Quiet Company–will be releasing much-desired projects into the world. Simple Shoes, in association with Knuckle Rumbler, is presenting to you MASSIVE RELEASE!

Five bands–The Rocketboys, Quiet Company, The Eastern Sea, Murdocks and Stereo is a Lie–will be divvied up on two stages, both with an unbelievable production set-up, and, as if that’s not enough to swallow, a special guest headliner. It will be an explosion of music.

Of course, we have some surprises in store. Our unannounced headliner will make you Butler your bread after Landon on the moon. In addition, we are offering 50 VIP tickets, which include entry to the show, copies of The Rocketboys’ and Quiet Company’s new releases, free beer all night, and a Simple Shoes gift bag.

The Rocketboys will be back in town after extensive national touring–including performances at CMJ, Daytrotter, and SXSW in the past eight months–to showcase their mastery of mood and sound for their Austin faithful. Releasing their debut full-length, “20,000 Ghosts”, on vinyl, the six piece serves up heartfelt indie rock layered with full-band singing parts. Since moving to Austin in 2009, The Rocketboys have become a local favorite.

Quiet Company will provide their always-uplifting songs, ranging from raucously energetic to beautifully intimate–and everything in between. Their melodies are haunting and infectious, and they are known as an exceptional live band around town. Quiet Company will release EP “Songs for Staying In” at the MASSIVE RELEASE, and a song and video for each track every Monday until the event at www.quietcompanymusic.com.

The Eastern Sea, explained as “a whole breed of puppies, eager to be whole, act as a cushion as you press against the glass walls surrounding your kind, sped up for convenience. Your pressings sound like knocking to the kindly cacti, cooling themselves on the other side and able to convince the stiffer species to allow you outside so you can take those puppies for a stroll”, whatever that means.

Stereo Is A Lie is a true buzz band and won the Deli Magazine’s Emerging Artist poll, beating Neon Indian, Black Joe Lewis and Missions. A very impressive feat for an up and coming band.

This show is sure to sell out so make sure to get your tickets in advance from (www.quietcompanymusic.com/tickets) and don’t forget to be one of the first 100 people there to claim your free drinks from Simple Shoes.
