Preview – Mint Records, Olio Festival and Light Organ Records SXSW fundraiser at the Biltmore Cabaret March 2

Feel like helping treat South by Southwest attendees to some Vancouver hospitality?

To raise funds for a free party, which will feature Andrew W.K., Shout Out Out Out Out, Nardwuar, and more at SXSW in Austin, Mint Records, Olio Festival and Light Organ Records are putting on a show tonight at the Biltmore Cabaret. Mode Moderne, Sun Wizard and Hot Panda are scheduled to perform, with all proceeds going towards covering production costs for a March 15 2012 “Mint Records + Olio Festival + Light Organ Records FREE SXSW Day Party”. That’s right, you can pay to see those three bands tonight so that people in Austin can see an even better lineup free!

Tickets are $10 in advance and $13 at the door. For more info go to the fundraiser’s Facebook event page.
