RED and WHITE Bash!!!

The Red Cross and White Denim team up with Antone's Nightclub to help celebrate Austin's Red Cross with a show you won't want to be left out on! The Red Cross of Austin hopes to reach a new generation by fusing music and philanthropy as this Music Capital of the World does so well. 

Don't miss this huge event with WHITE DENIM, just home from their European tour, on Wednesday September 23, 2009.  White Denim's red hot sound has not only taken Austin by storm but their music has translated across the oceans!

The band has toured extensively, playing shows including SXSW and CMJ Music Marathon, and also received the award of "Best New Band" at the 2008 Austin Music Awards.   In order to reach European listeners, the band signed to UK record label Full Time Hobby (home to The Hold Steady and Viva Voce) for an overseas release.  The first release on Full Time Hobby was the single "Let's Talk About It" b/w "Darksided Computer Mouth". One June 23, 2008, the band released its debut album, the Workout Holiday LP, which consists of re-recorded songs from the band's first two self-released EPs along with some new tracks. The band has since released two more singles in Europe off of Workout Holiday: "All You Really Have To Do" b/w "DCWYW" and "Shake Shake Shake" b/w "All Truckers Roll".

Back in the US, White Denim released their debut US full-length LP, entitled Exposion in late 2008. White Denim, along with Transmission Entertainment, have created a new digital record company that allows fans to buy music directly from the band. Buyers have the option of purchasing a digital copy (MP3 or FLAC format) of the album, as well as 12" and 7" copies. If fans want more, they can pay for a subscription into the White Denim fan club, which not only buys them digital and hard copies of the album, but also a collection of unreleased digital live tracks and unreleased materials.]

White Denim's third full-length album, entitled Fits, was released via Full Time Hobby on June 22, 2009. The record was initially release in Europe only, but after signing their first US record deal with Downtown Records on July 10, the band plans to release Fits in the Fall of 2009. 

The opening act, Harlem,  has recently signed a multi-record, world wide deal with Matador Records.  Led by dual vocalists Michael Coomers and Curtis O’Mara (the duo switch between guitar and drums, both onstage and off), Harlem started in Tucson, AZ before relocating to Austin where they’ve generated a mountain of attention, both with their fantastic live shows and their self-issued 2008 LP/CD ‘Free Drugs’ (Female Fantasy — currently available via Matador Direct).  Harlem has been in the studio recording and their new CD will come out in 2010 on Matador.

Antone's and the Red Cross are proud to Partner together with White Denim to raise awareness of all that the Red Cross does in the Austin Community and beyond.  Clifford Antone was a huge supporter of the Red Cross with his most notable contribution being the huge fundraiser he promoted and organized after Hurricane Katrina with notable artists such as Willie Nelson, Jimmie Vaughan, Bob Schneider, Carolyn Wonderland, Pattie Griffith and so many more!  Antone's wants to continue Clifford's passion for this amazing charity organization.

The American Red Cross of Central Texas shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; teaches lifesaving skills; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.
