2008 Takeover Highlights

Highlights from The 2008 Bay Area Takeover:

“We started off Thursday at the Bay Area Takeover party at Beauty Bar, which was packed, and the Beauty Bar guys said it was their best SXSW day party yet…But seriously, this many quality Bay Area bands (for free!) is already show of the week most regular weeks in Austin, and serves to start my SXSW week off on a high note.” – Funeral Pudding

“A fabulous event.” – ipickmynose

“Pretty, precise indie-pop, “country-tronica,” high-energy folk rock, avant-noise experimental trios; the sounds of our beloved Bay Area are pretty diverse. Thursday was exciting as it was the day of SXSW’s first Bay Area showcase (“The Bay Area Takeover”) at Austin’s Beauty Bar.” – Good Times Weekly

“We rolled into the Beauty Bar to witness the Bay Area Takeover of Austin, Texas….[S]uch treats as the Blacks, Film School, Two Gallants, Von Iva, Birds and Batteries, and Scissors for Lefty tore it up on two different stages.” – CokeMachineGlow

“Wow, the Bay Area Takeover is rockin’” – SomaFM
