Karaoke Apocalypse

We won’t be doing a public show until February (unless something comes up) so come on down to the best stage in Austin. Bask in the glow of the rock lights a fog machine.

We will be playing with a special guest (our pal Paul Bawa) on the drums this Saturday at the Highball so we have had to scale down the set list in order not to drive him bananas!

At the Nomad Bar. Bet you can’t guess the theme

We weren’t mentioned by name but a video of Elijah Wood singing with the band was posted at Yahoo Music with the headline Jim Carrey’s ‘Creep’-y Singalong, and Other Celeb Karaoke Disasters!

Although the article was a bit tough on the guy, we at Karaoke Apocalypse thought Elijah did a pretty good job. It’s KARAOKE after all!

From the Spill website:

SATURDAY, JUNE 25th you take the stage as KARAOKE APOCALYPSE bring a night of rock and metal to CLUB DEVILLE. Wait, what? You heard right. You’re the star that evening as the band plays the song of your choice and you perform in front of a live audience. Just how much of a rock star can you be? VIP access granted to those who buy early.

TIME: 8 pm – 2 am
PLACE: Club Deville

SPIN Magazine and SPIN.com featured the GLEE PROJECT SXSW PARTY this month. Check out the online version.

Here is  a photo by Mark C. Austin from their slideshow.

Erik used to play guitar for one of my favorite Austin bands from the late 80′s early 90′s called Bouffant Jellyfish. Here he joins at the Nomad for the seldom-sung “South of Heaven.”
