Yes there's been a name change for the Fest (NOIR Fest) and we've shortened it to two nights instead of three. Our plate is full with awesome projects that are sure to help the local indie rockers and the local indie rock scene. We've got a lot of awesome presented shows coming your way, we're helping Offbeat with an iPhone application, we're providing music for an indie film in town, we're releasing a digital remix download of several of the songs that were on our previous samplers (remixed by local DJs), and we're planning a crazy big festival for the spring. So be on the lookout, get excited for the next release this November, and support the scene and come out for NOIR Fest and all the shows in between. Yeah brah.

A special thanks to Sweet Tea Firefly Vodka, Maple Street Book Shop and Skullyz Recordz for supporting this next sampler.
