Breakout Bands The Soft Pack, Bowerbirds, Avi Buffalo to Appear at Aloft Austin Parties

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Two of the most crash-worthy parties during this week's music festival in Austin will share a host: Aloft Austin at the Domain, the much-talked-about, "style at a steal" hotel that's shaking up the lodging landscape.

Aloft Austin at the Domain and DMX will present four must-hear acts, on Thursday, March 18 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Max's Wine Dive (207 San Jacinto Ave., 512-904-0111), including acclaimed SubPop janglers Avi Buffalo, quadruple-threat DJ/songwriter/remixer/producer Baron Von Luxxury, hot LA garage-rockers The Soft Pack, and San Diego-based singer-songwriter Anya Marina, whose music has soundtracked TV's "Grey's Anatomy." Delicious food and decadent drink from Max's menu will be featured.

The party continues at Aloft Austin at the Domain with four more live performances that same night - Findley Brown, Athlete 8, Hurricane Bells, and Lost in the Trees will hit the stage at Aloft(R) Hotel's buzzing w xyz(R) bar, where fans can take in tunes as they sip signature cocktails, from the Jump Jive and Ginger cocktail featuring mango and ginger infused rum, or the Wild Blueberry Highball featuring wild blueberry infused vodka. So attendees don't miss a minute of either Austin event, a special "Buzz Bus" will shuttle partygoers between Max's Wine Bar and Aloft Austin at the Domain from 6:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

"The creative energy of Austin's music scene is a perfect match for Aloft and our guests, who are always on the lookout for what's next," said Dana Cust, general manager of Aloft Austin at the Domain. "As proud Austinites ourselves, we're very excited to play a part in showcasing one of the world's live music capitals."

With several hot bands expected to make Aloft Austin at the Domain their crash pad in Austin, fans who want a glimpse of their favorite rockers might want to hang out at Aloft Austin at the Domain's electric re:mix lounge, where the energy starts early and continues through the night.
