Nakia & His Southern Cousins Voted Austin Music Awards #6 Best New Band - Thank You Austin Music Fans!!

Posted on March 13, 2008

Thank you to anyone and everyone who voted for Nakia & His Southern Cousins this year in the Austin Music Awards. Whether you picked us for something individually or the band as a whole. After the lovely Ms. Margaret Moser tallied up all the votes, we are honored to say that Austin chose us as one of the Top Ten Best New Bands of 2007 in Austin! Number 6 to be exact! My hat is off to YOU - The Austin music fans who come out to shows, buy music, tip us, and share the good word with their friends and family about the band!

Also - in an odd turn of events, a poster that I designed for our run of Happy Hours at the legendary Continental Club last Summer was voted the 10th Best Concert Poster for the awards as well! Seriously - A surprise, but a welcome one! THANK YOU! Here’s a smaller version of that poster for your downloading pleasure.

Congrats to all the winners and fellow runners up alike!!

I have been out and about a lot already this SXSW and caught a lot of great acts at some wonderful parties, including last night’s Music Awards, the Mayor’s Reception, and the Red Bull Moon Tower party! I must say that so far, by accident, I have seen The Black & White Years 3 times and all I can say is WOW! They are simply put… The REAL DEAL. Their official showcase is tonight at Maggie Mae’s.

Speaking of showcases, don’t forget about our official one at Lambert’s Downtown BBQ on 2nd and Guadalupe Friday night at Midnight! Then we will be playing the RajiWorld +1 Party on Saturday at 7:30pm. Here are the posters (Guess which one I designed??)for those shows as well! Hope to see you out there! Then next Friday it’s business as usual at Ego’s Lounge.
