The Bay Area Takeover

I am here for Friends and Networking

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The Bay Area Takeover will be having yet another day party in 2009 presented by Tricycle Records and The Bay Bridged. The event will take place at the Beauty Bar March 19th 2009 during SXSW. RSVP now!

Featuring six awesome hours of cutting-edge San Francisco Bay Area bands and DJs, the first Bay Area Takeover was a landmark achievement for Bay Area indie rock music and became one of the SXSW highlights for the many who attended.
In 2009, the Takeover returns with an even bigger free party featuring over a dozen great Bay Area bands!
We have very affordable sponsorship opportunities for companies looking to gain valuable exposure at what will be a packed and highly publicized event. For more information about our sponsorship offerings, please visit TheBayAreaTakeover.com .

About the Organizers:

In just two years, Tricycle Records has built one of the fastest growing rosters in the local industry while maintaining a strong relationship with the music community and their friends at The Bay Bridged. Founders Julie Schuchard and Don Joslin take pride in a diverse roster of artists that add to the independent spirit of local music. With many of the bands on their second release, Tricycle Records has only begun to branch outside of the Bay Area. As a partner in The Bay Area Takeover, they will be showcasing four of their seven bands at this year’s event.

Since January 2006, TheBayBridged.com has been the source for indie music fans, musicians and journalists to discover the best in independent music from the San Francisco Bay Area. With a weekly podcast that has featured over 150 bands, a daily music blog with the latest music news and reviews, and local concerts showcasing the hottest bands, Christian Cunningham and Ben Van Houten bring a level of dedication, excitement and joy to the masses of music-starved aficionados.
