YB to Debut in the U.S. and U.K.!

I'm very excited to be able to announce that YB is going to debut right here, in the United States! AND over in the United Kingdom! I've been a fan for so long, I'm looking forward to being a part in the next chapter in their great journey! They released the following statement on their English site today:

Announcement: YB Tour Dates

I am happy to be able to present you, my dear readers with the news that YB has announced two additional tour dates to their time here in the US, outside of the SXSW dates in Austin.

Crying Nut Review!

In my preparations to get as much exposure for the Korean bands coming to SXSW this year, I've begun a series of reviews over at YAM Magazine. First one up is for Crying Nut.

Unfamiliar with Crying Nut? I'll give you a little run down about them in a future post. 

K-Rock coming to Minneapolis!

I'm super excited to announce that the Korean rock movement is finally making it's way to my hometown! I've always said to anyone who would listen that Minneapolis is a great city for them to come and play. We have a very extensive music culture here and lots of clubs and venues to showcase the amazing talent coming from Korea.

SXSeoulWest - Music Time!

Hey there everybody! I'm steadfastly getting my preparations for the trip to Austin ready. I've been getting ideas and running with my head spinning for the last couple of weeks. I have officially gotten accomodations for my trip. And kind of an unorthodox way of traveling too - it's through an online BnB service. So I'm staying with a (hopefully!) nice older couple while I'm there. This adventure is turning into one big epic adventure as every day passes by!

SXSW 2014 OR BUST

Hi there! Long time no see!

Life has gotten away with me for awhile, and I've been neglecting my poor blog. But I have BIG NEWS. This girl, right here? She has officially been approved for press credentials for SXSW 2014~! And why-oh-why did I apply? BECAUSE YB IS COMING. I flipped a few lids over that news when they announced it. Since then I've been budgeting, plotting and prepping and I'm still working out details, but I'm gonna make it to see them no matter what!

I've got a full list of bands from the lovely land of Korea here:
