March 15th was the first StarVox LIVE event held at Nomenclature Museum in Atlanta. Sponsored by the promoters from Pandora's Box and Nocturnia, the entire purpose of the night was to promote the bands and labels that have kindly supported and contributed to StarVox since its start in August of 1999 and to bring about a renewed interest and awareness in the great new talents we have out there. Doors opened at 9pm and by 10:30 it was wall to wall packed - quite an impressive showing for a city who's notoriously late-minded when it comes to clubbing. 

CD's were spun by DJ's Admortem and Dead Parrot - all from bands that have graced these pages in reviews (playlists below). Programs were handed out highlighting some of our favorite musicians and labels and thanking those that had sent materials to make this event possible. Food was provided to quell the appetites through the evening and several local bands stopped in to join the festivities. Members of Nothing Inside, Metroscene, Launch, The Girl Pool, The Broken Men and Lili Roth all stopped in to say hello. 

Flyers, stickers, posters, postcards and an unbelievable amount of CD's were given away to eager fans, DJ's, promoters, writers and fellow musicians. Promotional bags containing even more flyers were supplied by Jett Black of Nocturnal Movements and were a convenient way to collect handfuls of goodies. Though some people did dance, the vast majority of the crowd spent the night in deep conversations - either about the music being played (I kept getting people running up to me saying, "Who's this they're spinning now?"), catching up with people that haven't been out in ages or discussing new music ventures. Rick Meyers from Large Orange Music was even on hand to support Lili Roth and her CD that he not only produced in his studio but played guitar on. 

It was a successful evening by all accounts and hopefully we've sparked some renewed interest in some wonderful bands. We'd like to ask for feedback from any of you guys if you picked up CD's that night (or at GothCon). We'd like to know what you thought of them and the bands and labels are eager to see what the reaction is. Please email me at blu@starvox.net with your comments on the promotional items.
