BREAKING NEWS: Hello and welcome back to “SA Indie Fest”,
Grand winner of the “BEST OF SAN ANTONIO CURRENT 2007”!!
That’s right, SA Indie, then just 2 months old, was awarded
The “BEST LIVE MUSIC EVENT of 2007” by the prestigious CURRENT.
We are very excited to tell you that the Festival will have a Part II!
We are shooting for the last weekend of September 2008.
The change in month has been decided because there is no need to overshadow SXSW!! ....Just kidding.
We have decided that SA Indie fest had no reason or need to step on anyone else's toes, and was certainly not in need of any confrontation with SXSW. I am a peaceful person, not a warrior nor a blood sucker opportunist, and as its founder, my intention is not to stress over an event I just wish to be beautiful.
October always brings us beautiful days, and I like the idea to organize the only music Fest in south Texas this time of the year. It also gives us 9 months to organize it in the best possible manner, to find the best of place.
Contrarily to the 1st SA indie, I do not want any restriction for who can or cannot come to the shows.
A park seems to be the best answer.
Music is a gift which has to be explored, tasted by everyone, at any ages… and like the RED ROOM was, I want SA Indie to be accessible to all!
Some changes projected are
• The length of the Festival. Most likely a long weekend, not a long week!
• No venues (has said above), Park, Park, Park!
• Possibility for a no-cover access or relatively cheap one.
THIS LAST ONE WILL ONLY BE POSSIBLE WITH SPONSORS $$$...PASS THE WORD, GIVE ME NAMES, I’LL CONTACT THEM!
• 3 days, 3 stages, 3 styles, 3 continents…
• UK/EUROPE (Rock/Alt); US/CAN/AUST (Rock/Alt); US/WORLD (Americana)
• The possibility for a RED ROOM TENT (Singer/songwriters) WORLDWIDE.
So, let's get all pumped up and excited, put on our hard working/thinking hats and start kicking some serious @ss!!! We've got 9 months to show the world that San Antonio has it!
Peace
Yours always,
Delphine,
SA Indie Founder.

OVERVIEW OF SA INDIE HISTORY:
What is SA indie fest??
SA indie fest is the first music festival of it's kind in San Antonio EVER!!!
It allows the music fans living in, and around San Antonio, to hear and experience great music without the chaos and high prices in Austin around this time.
As of today,SA indie fest has 150 bands booked with more being confirmed in the next week.
What happened to the name SXSA???
Due to a request by the people at SXSW we have been forced to change our name to avoid an ugly legal battle. Instead of fighting or being angry we have decided to rejoice in the change. We are and never were affiliated with them on any level. Changing the name gives San Antonio the chance to make a name of its own.
Viva SA indie fest!!!
VIVA SA indie fest!!!!!
Why SA indie fest??
The month of March is the beginning of Spring and a month away from our beloved Fiesta.
A week long music festival, held in San Antonio's music venues, would take advantage of the lull in tourism, and provide the City with more Hospitality taxes to fill in the financial void.
Who is SA Indie Fest?
Delphine Gunning, of San Antonio, who is the owner and operator of the music listening room, The Red Room ( www.myspace.com/redroomsa), is SA indie fest brain child.
She is an experienced music promoter who has developed, through The Red Room, an extensive list of professional relationships with Independent musical artists from all over the world.
You can reach Delphine Gunning via email at delphine@saindie.com for more info or booking requests.
