Its been a crazy few weeks here at Loudcrowd …we’ve been building up our private beta for eight months, and we’re right about to release!  I for one have been zonked getting together our new playlists-can’t say who just yet, but trust that they’ll be featuring a slew of new tracks and rarities. It’s going to be a few more days of burning the midnight oil, but then off to South by Southwest to sweat it out and party down.

A bunch of Loudcrowders will be down in Austin to show off our new improved site, so naturally we are throwing a killer party We’ll be celebrating our release with the Rock You Shamrock party- headlined by Kid Sister, Datarock, and Hey Champ, 3/17 at the Speakeasy.

We’ve got some VIP passes to give out, so send an email to sxsw@loudcrowd.com that you’re coming to the event, and we’ll enter your name into the drawing.

Here’s our full schedule for those lucky enough to be joining the SXSW festivities:

3/13-3/21 Play Loudcrowd in the hallways of the Austin convention center, come see us near the ScreenBurn arcade
3/13-3/21 Hang out with us at the PureVolume house. every. night.
