MACROCK 2012

Brand Spankin New Website

Hey ya’ll!
We just launched our new website, IT Looks soooo snazzy.
If you don’t take my word for it, look for yourself: http://macrock.org/

yep,

Tombs (!)

Sooo a lot of people are stoked on Tombs, as well they should be. This sludge metal band from Brooklyn will be sure to liken the ears of headbangers, moshers, and yes, even you, pretentious hipster. (By the way, what are you doing still rocking that flannel? Don’t you know stripes are the new plaid?) Technically proficient with sick breakdowns, this band knows what they’re doing, and they do it well.

Check out their record, Paths of Totality. It’s kind of like watching Halloween - it’ll freak you out a little, but in a good way.

HEY RICHMOND KIDS

(And others, who should care)
You can add The Diamond Center to that kick-a$$ list below of bands who will be showing up at Macrock.

I personally have seen The Diamond Center’s live twice and love them more and more every time.

Check out their website here: http://www.diamondcentermusic.com/
And listen to some of their tunes.

Second, if you’re peeing yourself because you’re so excited, you should probably volunteer.
Interest meetings for volunteering are being held tonight and tomorrow night:

-Tonight (Tue. 1/22): @7:30pm Located on campus at the Keezel building in room G3
-Tomorrow Night (Wed. 1/23): @7:30pm Located at the wxjm station: 983 Reservoir St.

Third, if volunteering is not enough to control your excitement (or for that matter, your bladder problems) you don’t have to wait to see supa cool bands play.

Tomorrow Night! FOULMOUTH (demo release) + SURPRISE will be playing. Starts at 11:00 pm and will be at the message garage. wut wut!

Lastly, if you can’t even contain it till tomorrow night, here’s a preview of our bands in the line up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDzVKRkALoM

Second Wave of Bandz!!

Youuuu guuuyyyys!!!! We’re super stoked to release more band info! Here’s the list! It rules! Call all your friends and tell them to come to Macrock! And your roommates! And your enemies, because we don’t care if you don’t get along!

Drum roll pleeeaaase,

Teenage Cool Kids, Total Slacker, Lower Dens, Valkyrie, Black Anvil, Forest Fire, Tombs, Jeffery Lewis, Invisible Hand

YAY!! Sorry that we didn’t put them up at one D: HAVE AN AWESOME MUSIC FILLED DAY

Creepoid!

Creepoid is part of our first wave of bands! They’re a cool low-fi foursome out of Philly and they’re definitely worth listening to/seeing. Think badass 90s grunge. Then think about listening to their sick record, Horse Heaven. THEN DO IT! Trust me, you’ll like it.

Here’s a link to an interview with these awesome folks. It’s a year old, but I think it’ll give you a good idea of what the band’s mentality is:
