Anastasia "Extended Play" feat. Distinguished Sounds, Lady Shacklin, Mike James Jr.
2019-07-26 21:00 - 2019-07-27 02:00 (America/Chicago) | Flamingo Cantina, 515 East 6th Street, Austin, TX, 78701, United States
Anastasia,​ renowned Austin-based recording artist and President of CREVIVAL Entertainment, is debuting her newly revamped stage show with “Extended Play,” a concert and single selection party. Featuring Distinguished Soundz, a widely popular band which has established a stellar reputation within Texas as well as the national touring circuit, “Extended Play” is a lively re-imagining of her most popular songs. Distinguished Soundz has taken the best pieces from Anastasia’s previous projects and skillfully weaved them into something bigger for the stage.
In addition to revisiting the earlier works that have earned her solid recognition in Urban music circles, ​Anastasia​ will be premiering six newly written songs at “Extended Play,” while offering her audience the opportunity to vote for their favorite. Since a worldwide distribution deal is in place for CREVIVAL, her next release will be highly visible to music consumers, as the selected song is poised to become Anastasia’s first global single on her own record label. This is an immense step for an independent artist who honed her craft in the halls and venues of Austin, TX, the Live Music Capital of the World. This is a moment that ​Anastasia​ is excited to share with her fans.
Anastasia’​s new material, crafted over an intense six month period, was produced by Tariq “​Ty on da Trac​k” Fagan, first-place winner of the 2019 SXSW Beat Battle and one of Austin’s best kept secrets. Fagan’s work is well known for its melodic versatility and trap influence. “When he opened up his catalog to me two years ago, I knew we could create not just good music, but a unique sound. And here we are,” says ​Anastasia​.
“Extended Play” takes place on Friday, July 26th, at Flamingo Cantina (515 E. 6th St. Austin, TX 78701). As a staple of Reggae, World, and Urban music on Austin’s infamous 6th Street, Flamingo Cantina has maintained a strong presence in downtown Austin for 28 years. “Flamingo is the place I went to experience music before I started making music,” ​Anastasia​ adds. “They’ve always opened up their doors and stage to me. They helped me become the performer and businesswoman that I am today.”
Reggae powerhouse Lady Shacklin & Jah Souljahs Band, and R&B crooner Mike James, Jr. will also perform at “Extended Play,” rounding out an evening of high-quality live entertainment.
When asked about her inspiration for bringing her old and new music to the stage with fresh new instrumentation, Anastasia​ replies, “I have a message, a vision. I live this and I love this.”

Roots Rock Reggae band influenced by Peter Tosh, The Wailers, Steel Pulse, Groundation, Third World, and many others. Idiginis is a Houston, Texas-based reggae band that began in 2008.

The band currently consists of 6 musicians, including Dizzy Bootz (Bass), Osakwe Rikondja (Lead Guitar), Jomo Kore (Percussion), Nevelle O’Brady (Drums), and Michael Phillips (Trumpet & Vocals).
Idiginis has consistently been one of the top reggae bands in Houston by continuing to make and perform the hottest original reggae music for over 10 years. In 2009 the band released their self titled EP, Idiginis, which gave the band an impressive start. Then in March of 2013 the band released Suspended Animation which was the band’s first attempt at a full CD. Suspended Animation got the people’s attention and demonstrated what Texas roots rock reggae is all about. In March of 2015 the band debuted their CD, Decisions, which showed their maturity as a band landing the band an opportunity to open for The Wailers at House of Blues.
IDIGINIS has been honored to play alongside Sugar Minott, Freddie McGregor, Third World, Elephant Man, Wailing Souls, Rootz Underground,Chaka Khan, Steel Pulse, Yellowman. The band has also played dates with The Skatalites, Ky-Mani Marley, Dub Trio, Groundation, Mystic Roots, Passafire, Fortunate Youth and the Common Kings.

Earthkry! Roots from the Clay

EarthKry band was born and nurtured within the halls of the Edna Manley College of The Visual & Performing Arts in Kingston, Jamaica where four budding musicians hoped to hone their skills. Their journey began with a twist of fate which brought together keyboard player Phillip Mcfarlane, drummer Kieron Cunningham, bass guitarist Kamardo Blake and vocalist/guitarist Aldayne Haughton, to play a series of small gigs. Drawing inspiration from Bob Marley and The Wailers, The Beatles, John Holt, Peter Tosh, Jacob Miller, Black Uhuru and Steel Pulse, the group soon cemented a wholesome fusion of Roots Reggae, Souls and Rock genres for a fresh but universal sound.
Much like the iconic reggae outfit The Wailers, the band chose its name, EarthKry, to signify its mission to voice the grievances of the downtrodden through the vibrations of their music.

Shark Punch – Hayward, CA
San Francisco East Bay Area’s Ska Punk band and dedicated Shark Attack first responders. Est. 2014
Coming straight outta the East Bay, CA punk scene, Shark Punch is an energetic, electrifying, brass driven 8 piece Ska Punk band. Though classified as a “SkaPunk” band the boys love to take blends of other genres/styles of music and reach farther than just your usual ska. Like tapping into harder punk genres, diving into surf themes and also throwing in a blend of rocksteady attitude
The band first got together in 2014 (Dustin, Miguel, Dylan and Sergio) as a group of guys who had a drive for making ska punk music and needed that creative outlet. Together they formed Shark Punch and quickly got to work on their sound. After spending a few months writing a few songs they realize that to be a skapunk band you need horns. Since not knowing personally any horn players they set out to CSU East Bay to put out flyers saying “Tromboners Wanted”. To their surprise two trombone players answered the call (Noah and Nick)
During December of 2015 they recorded their first independent album “Hope This Works” at Art of Ears studio with well-known recording engineer Andy “Andro” Ernst who also recorded Green Day, Rancid and other well-known recording artists.
Since their inception Shark Punch has played in many iconic Bay Area venues, festivals and colleges. Venues/Festivals including DNA Lounge, 924 Gilman, Downtown Hayward Street Fair, Mayfest 2018 and The Uptown.

Formed in 2003 in Chicago and transplanted to Dallas in 2006, Rude King has taken the scene by storm with high energy live shows and a sound rooted in 2-tone Ska, but infused with an intensity and style all their own. This nine-piece ska act includes a tight and soulful rhythm section, blistering guitar leads, and a scorching-hot horn section.
Known for putting on exciting live performances, Rude King enjoys success as a hot act in the Midwest, Southwest and along the East and West coast.
Rude King has shared the stage with many of the greats in ska and punk music like The Skatalites, Aggrolites, Pietasters,The Toasters, Mustard Plug, Big D and the Kids Table, Fishbone, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Bad Manners, Chris Murray, Agent Orange and more.

Tunnel Vision – 12:30AM

Tunnel Vision is quickly becoming Southern California’s favorite new Surf, Reggae, Ska band. The band is comprised of five musicians who grew up in the San Clemente, area with instruments in their hands and skateboards and surfboards under their feet. Tunnel Vision originally formed as a three-piece band, with Hayden Hanson as the lead singer and guitarist, Jacob Hernandez on bass, and Tanner Payan on drums and additional vocals.
Growing up in SoCal, the band was heavily influenced by the Punk Rock, Reggae and Ska Music of bands like The Descendents, Black Flag, Misfits, Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, The Expendables, NoFX, Rancid, and Reel Big Fish, etc. The boys have all worked in the surf industry for years, starting out in retail for Rip Curl and moving on to manufacturing surfboards for Lost Enterprises.
Tunnel Vision recently increased the band from a three-piece to a five-piece by adding Doug Alani and Matt Risley. Matt Risely & Doug both met the guys through their connections with Lost’s retail store, Catalyst. Matt is Texas surf transplant. Matt plays keys for the band and is an avid Surfer and Skateboarder as well. Doug brings his mad saxophone skills to the sound of Tunnel Vision, when he is not in the courtroom tipping the scales for justice, he is cranking out tunes with Tunnel Vision.
Th3rd Coast Roots was formed in late 2017 by four humans that love music with undeniable passion. Although we all love music and have various backgrounds and experience levels with playing music we never thought that life would take us on this journey that is now the band Th3rd Coast Roots.
We have a multitude of musical influences that we all bring to the table that creates our sound. This ranges from reggae and any of its sub-generes to rock, hip hop, and pop. We are on a mission to bring joy, education, unity, and awarness to the world as many of the other great reggae bands that have influcnced us have done before us. We are immensely aware that we are nothing without our fans and we recognize without doubt that they have been the soul reason for our success since day one.
HueRTaCuLTuRe mixes cumbia, ska, reggae, hip-hop, blues, rock, and Balkan influences to create its sound.
In 2014 Huerta Culture released the full length album HOMEGROWN. Check it out at http://www.cdbaby.com/m/cd/huertaculture
