Hey! Thanks everyone who came out this past Saturday. SxSeattle was huge and all the bands killed. There’s talk of a bigger venue and 2 stages for next year! We’ve got a flickr group for BTTV now. If you were there, we’d love to see your pictures.
Check it: http://www.flickr.com/groups/betterthanthevan/
Also The Portland Mercury wrote up a nice little ditty about BTTV. It’s here for you reading pleasure.
If your in or around the Palm Door at SXSW come on down! The party is prime and happening from 12pm to 5pm. Do it! See you there. We’ll post some pictures soon…
Party details here.
Three things real quick. Lots to do today.
1. 2 Days until our party. If you haven’t RSVP’d you should right here. All show details there as well. Come for free food and free beer.
2. We wrote a little ditty for Sonicbids and they were kind enough to post it on their blog. If you’re in the mood for some time killing prose. Read on…
3. We are roaming around SXSW and the convention center. If you see a tall man furiously hanging BTTV signs all over the place, tell him to get a real job.

Yes, it’s wild. We are sponsoring a day party!
Free food, free (good) beer and free music is yours to be had at the SxSeattle day party! Bands that will increase the party-prime are: Blue Scholars & Common Market, Past Lives, Barcelona, Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head, New Faces, Mt. St. Helen’s Vietnam Band, Dynah and Hey Marseilles. We’ll be there, you’ll be there and it will be grand. If you see us, come talk to us. We’d love to meet ya. Find out more info and RSVP!
Actually we’re on Cracked.com, and yes we know it’s a lame joke. We found out about 2 minutes ago that we’re mentioned in todays post, “6 Inspiring Rags to Riches Stories (That Are Bullshit)”. It’s funny, you should read it. Look for us under the story about Jewel, yes Jewel. Good times.
SXSW details coming soon…!
It’s only for bands this time around. No mixtapes. Bummer but we get the deal. Still, we are happy.
Go, go, go ————-> MUXTAPE
Hey Kids!
Ryan at Rough Trade let loose and threw up BTTV on their blog. See fer yerself.
Check back for updates on our SXSW dealings.
Would you give your email address to someone for a free beer? Ponder it.
We’re putting together more plans for this year’s SXSW. Exciting times! It looks like we’ll be part of the SXSeattle day party and the Future Eating showcase. A couple other things are in the works too but we don’t want to let out the details just yet. We’re all super-secret like that.
Have a great Holiday everyone!
We found these guys the other day and we like what we see. If you’re booking a tour yourself you should try this out: Indie on the Move. Tons of venue and booking contact info. All for free!
If you live in the Bay Area tune to KCBS today around 5:53pm or 10:53pm today (Sunday). We did a quick interview with them a couple days ago and the word is, it will air at these times. Or swing by their site it should be posted on there soon. Thanks, Nishat!
