The music is free and the big event ki cks off at 7PM. Check out the inaugural lineup below! Suite 709 Suite 709 played their first public shows during SXSW 2010 with no recordings, press, or even band photos; yet, the band quickly received multiple accolades including “Top 10 New Bands of 2010″ from the Austin Chronicle Music Awards, “Top 35 Bands of 2011″ Do512.com, “Best Find at SXSW 2011″ from QRO Magazine, “Hot 100 Unsigned Bands of 2011″ from Music Connection Magazine, and most recently “Top 5 Soul/Blues Bands of 2011″ at the 2011 Austin Chronicle Music Awards alongside notable acts Gary Clark Jr. and Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears. The group continues to sell out shows in their hometown of Austin, Texas, and has developed a strong national and international following through their innovative use of social media outlets. The band embodies the soul of DIY musicianship in everything from graphic design to marketing to engineering their own recordings. Reviewers repeat, “Words cannot describe a Suite 709 performance experience.” Every show is like a party from beginning to end. www.unlocksuite709.com Edison Chair An energetic four piece rock band from Austin Texas, Edison Chair honors the style of timeless rock such as The Who and The Beatles, while making innovative strides in the wake of popular modern bands such as The Fratellis and Oasis. Formed in 2007, the band quickly attracted attention from multi-platinum producers and major labels such as Interscope Records. With three part harmonies and songs you'll be singing long after the show, Edison Chair has developed a sound that will be hard to forget.

Tuesday Night North Austin Social Ride

Join North Austin Social Bicycling 7:30 p.m. every Tuesday for a spin around North Austin. We'll be going about 10 miles at a social pace, stopping for a break at a park, and ending at a great bar. We ride rain or shine with wheels down about 8 p.m.

WHERE AND WHEN: We meet at Balcones Community Park (http://austinparks.org/apfweb/park.php?parkId=202)
Get there around 7:30 p.m. for some social time. We take off around 8 p.m. We end the ride at a bar usually around 9:30 p.m. for snacks and drinks.

WHAT TO BRING: Helmet, lights, a good U-Lock, ID, some common sense, a basic knowledge of how to operate a bicycle, and cash if you plan to eat or drink during or after the ride.

Inspired by the way Social Cycling Austin conducts rides, we ride as traffic and not against it. We obey traffic signals/road signs, yield the right of way, let cars pass, and we do not block intersections. We strive to be courteous to both our fellow cyclists and vehicular traffic on the road. Please listen to the ride leaders who are volunteering to help lead the ride safely; they are some nice folks and have your best interest in mind.

Curious about the rules of the road? Check out this most awesome rules site here: http://bicycleaustin.info/laws/austin.html

REMINDER: The goal is to create a safe environment for all cyclists and reach the destination without injury. We cannot control, nor would we want to, every riders’ behavior. We strongly encourage personal responsibility on all rides; it is up to YOU to maintain safe conduct for yourself and those around you. If you choose to ride with us YOU accept the risks inherent in riding a bicycle in a large group of other cyclists of varying skill levels as well as being in close proximity to vehicular traffic.

Presented by Bedsider.org: Friends + Diamond Rings

Free show. Doors @ 6:30 pm. Presented by Bedsider.org.

"Friends's music is a magpie mix. One moment it's indie-pop, the next it's mutant funk, then disco. It's like a homemade attempt to mimic a whole record collection – and from that DIY spirit comes something that sounds only of itself, even as the echoes of the past flit through the songs.

If we wanted to, we could make a really polished pop record, easily. But we like the sound of it being a little rougher, a little more organic, because that sounds like what we're doing naturally, Samantha Urbani, [the group's singer], says. None of our songs sound the same. We're not going for one particular musical aesthetic because we like so many things and we're capable of creating so many different things. So I like that you have this realisation of 'It's this! Oh no, it's this!', because it isn't one thing. The album's like a mixtape, you know? That's a cool way to explain it. It's like us saying: 'We like all these different things and they feel like they kind of fit together." - The Guardian

"Diamond Rings defies laws of time and space.Electro-pop maestro John O makes music that exists outside specific eras, distilling encyclopedic knowledge and passion into laser-like beams of emotional immediacy. Physical limits don't bother him much, either. True to his D.I.Y. background, he composes highly personal songs in a tiny bedroom studio in Toronto's West End, yet is increasingly concerned with Diamond Rings reaching the widest possible audience. But don't be confused by these twists and ripples. A degree in astrophysics isn't mandatory to appreciate Free Dimensional, the second Diamond Rings full-length. A good heart and working ears are all the tools required."
