About me: Sol Fest ATX---2pm-2am--All Day Event--
Announcing the First Annual Sol Fest ATX; taking place Saturday October 6th, in Austin, Tx, at the
Compound, 1300 E. 4th St.
Sol Fest ATX is an all inclusive and all encompassing multi-media festival that will be presenting some
of Texas's finest live bands, visual artists, short films, and poets.
This genuine Austin grassroots effort was spurred by recognizing the need for a platform to promote
and expose rising stars and artist.
Sol Fest begins it's first annual event by presenting great visual art, in different mediums; Johnny Ramirez
(trash to fine art; translucent mosaics), Alex Chapa(Antholigies and abstract landscapes),
Jennifer Nowzaradan(stimulating oil & acrylics), Rodrigo Quintanilla( Self-Determining Art),Stephanie
Cerame(inspirational), and Nathan Capehart with loaded compositions.
During the course of the day, we will also present all sorts of colorful performers, from belly dancers, to
the strumming beat of Latin at Heart, Austin's own and legendary Sarah Elizabeth Campbell,
the cross cultural music of Gilbert Diaz de Leon; all of which lend their impressions to this wonderful
event. Ethnic foods, drinks, and spoken word will also be present.
The evening of booty shaking will begin with Omerta Ignored, a band of four chicano brothers who
deliver feirce rythm, multi-dimensional cuts, and bold politically charged lyrics to their progressive metal sound.
After, Master Blaster Sound System takes control, by making you move to their live band over a Ableton
performance with a DJ. The night continues with the power house performance of Supa Phat. Out of Laredo
Texas, this funk guitar driven sound, with hip hop vocals, backed by explosive brass instruments, will,
without a doubt, entertain the dancing folk.
The festival will climax with the 'latin-ghetto booty-shakin rock-n-roll' of Kanko. Austin's own Brian
Ramos(former singer and co-founder of Grupo Fantasma) leads this motley crue of styles and influences.
Sol Fest is a festival that is brought to you by Austin people.
Our independent spirit represents what is going on with arts and culture in central texas.
Sol Fest is brought to you by you.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that we'll be back in Austin and playing an END OF TOUR PARTY at Speak Easy Thursday July 3rd. We'll be rocking out from 10 til 2. It's going to be a ridiculous time.... See you there!!
This festival asks artists of various disciplines to create art with people they would normally never collaborate with. The stuff that comes out of it is awe-inspiring.
