Rock the Rumors

I don't think this poster really offers any clues about the line-up for the Rock the Rabbit party Thursday night. But they just Tweeted this poster...so who knows?

Well we know for SURE that Kenan Bell is def in the opening slot for the party and you can hear his re-interpretation of Lily Allen's latest single, The Fear over at Black Book Magazine.

More rumors after the jump...

Austin 360 is Tweeting about the possibility that Kanye West is going to play the Fader Fort?!?

This no longer counts as a rumor, and you probably already know but...Metallica is going to play a show at Stubb's for some reason. Personally I couldn't care less about Metallica if I tried...still kind of pissed at Lars about the OG Napster. Do you think they sell WAY more records now that Napster is dead? Whatever you do, if you see Metallica make sure you don't tell Lars about BitTorrent.

Short, Sweet, Semi-Exclusive

Just noticed on the Twitter for Plus One Music that Kenan Bell is confirmed for the Rock the Rabbit party. Well there's one artist we know of so far.

Kenan has a new single you can check out on iTunes now and/or you can check out his remix of Peter, Bjorn, and John, which I pointed to yesterday. Be forewarned though, that mp3 is behind a Zshare barrier, be prepared to be patient/frustrated before you can actually download the track.

So now we know one artist playing the RTR party, but we still don't know where it will be or who else is playing. But stay tuned dear reader, for I will be there, which means you too will be there...in spirit.

Here's a little Playboy related content from Chromeo for you:

Ok, so if you're not super-familiar with Austin you should know that this party is not walkable from downtown. It's on the east-side, just south of the river, relatively close to the airport. If you're staying downtown it's about a 15-20 minute bus ride or a 10 minute cab ride.

Did I mention the free 40's, BBQ, and fixin's? Come on, you know you're hankering for some fixin's. Or you're at least fixin' to hanker for fixin's next Friday afternoon.

All of the bands showcasing are part of the +1Music group/collective/label/y'all. Their styles are varied, so no matter what you're into, you're bound to dig at least one of the artists out at Hank Sinatra's.
