Boogie Nights :: Protextor And Brother Bear’s ‘Not Tonight’ Video Arrives

Posted on August 30, 2017 | Leave a comment

In anticipation of the American Neon release, partners in crime Protextor and Brother Bear decided to drop a highly entertaining and visually stimulating music video. Protextor already has a handful of admirable videos under his belt, and with the slight shift in sound direction this upcoming project is taking, it seems fitting that the video for Not Tonight should take on a heightened sense as well. Director Zack Scott managed to take the familiar confines of Spiderhouse Ballroom and turn it into a glam-style roller disco ready to be rocked out. Protextor and Brother Bear ooze charisma, and the cast of characters employed to make up the world of the video are perfectly placed. This one will stick around with you for a while. As a bonus, the crew even threw in a quick behind the scenes video! Check them both out, throw some likes and shares around, and always support local.

Real Talk :: The Poetic Butcher Blesses Austin Poetry Slam With ‘The Non Social Network’

Posted on January 6, 2017 | Leave a comment

Every Wednesday night, a group of Austin‘s most diverse wordsmiths and creative thinkers get together for Austin Poetry Slam at Spiderhouse Ballroom. I have heard quite a few people drop knowledge and bless the mic with verbal dexterity, but sometimes you just have to sit the people down and talk straight with them. Enter The Poetic Butcher, and his piece titled The Non Social Network. He’s not covering any new ground, and we are all aware of how the information age is reshaping cultures and changing the world on many levels, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t about as crystal clear as your uncle taking you aside and telling you the things that you need to hear. I look forward to hearing more from The Poetic Butcher and the many, many other participants of Austin Poetry Slam.

A-Town Anthems :: Protextor Releases ‘Austin’ Single

Posted on July 14, 2015 | Leave a comment

Protextor has been a busy man the last few months. His crew, Space Camp Death Squad, just dropped an album. Weird City Hip Hop Festival isn’t too far away, and Protextor is a key element to it. Austin Mic Exchange, his gift to all Austin based up and comers, is only picking up steam as a Tuesday residency at Spiderhouse Ballroom. Despite all these spinning plates, he’s busy bringing us one more spinning plate.. a new solo album. The first taste we’re getting of this project is the Egon produced tribute single Austin. It’s an homage to the place Protextor now proudly calls home, and a tribute in general to the artists who keep it moving simply because they are driven to create.
