SXSW 2012 is over. Head to the SXSW 2014 Schedule!
Three syllables. One website. A night of legendary celebration.
We bring you the much anticipated launch of unightus.com – an Austin-based startup that helps you find “Your Place in Nightlife.” Please join us for free drinks, great music, giveaways, and more!
We look forward to seeing you there and sharing the evening with you as we introduce our product to the Austin community.
Your friends are also welcome!
We're back for our third straight year at SXSW, and we cannot wait to rock out with all of you!
Join the TechKaraoke team and our sponsors (TBA) as, this time, we begin SXSW Interactive with a real bang! We're taking over The Stage on Sixth for an evening full of live band karaoke and classic DJ karaoke (in-between sets), as well as additional surprises from our sponsors!
Join TechCocktail.com as we celebrate some of the hottest startups in all the land on the grand stage at SXSW.
To wrap up the day of activities at SXSW, Tech Cocktail will be hosting its third annual mixer style event at SXSW (check these links out in case you missed the last two years – SXSW 2011 and SXSW 2010).
Past showcased startups at our events have gotten great feedback, been funded on the spot, met new employees, investors, and some have even be acquired. Some of our SXSW showcased startup alumni include Foodspotting, Khush, Mobile Roadie, Storify, Udemy, Tango, Sifteo, Sphero, Votizen, and many more.
This event is free with a SXSW badge.

From Austin Powell, The Austin Chronicle:
Third Man Records literally rolled into South by Southwest last year. Owner Jack White turned his innovative Nashville, Tenn., label into a rolling record store, hosting a generator-powered show in the Frank parking lot and selling limited LPs across town from a window in his tricked-out step van. Never one for idle hands, expect White to perform in some capacity, given his upcoming proper solo debut, Blunderbuss, and the fact that he's either produced or played on most of Third Man's releases, notably for model/chanteuse Karen Elson, goth girls the Black Belles (who play Sat., 10pm, at Mohawk Patio), and Australia's Lanie Lane, who looks and sounds like a vintage rockabilly pin-up gal. Actor John C. Reilly walks harder in real life than Dewey Cox, with two 7-inch singles to prove it, while Nashville's Pujol offers a promising dose of garage-pop. Brooklyn's suave White Rabbits just released their career best, Milk Famous, but most eyes will be on Electric Guest, a Los Angeles duo whose debut for Downtown Records, Mondo, out April 24, was produced by Danger Mouse and sounds like a more promising version of Broken Bells. As for special guests, let's hope it's not the label's most controversial collaborators: I.C.P.

From Thomas Fawcett, The Austin Chronicle:
Sweet Mary mother of Marley is this showcase loaded! Nat Geo has assembled a two-headed global groove armada as formidable as any lineup at the Festival. Austin Latin funk army Brownout fires the first shot "Con el Cuete" before morphing into big band Grupo Fantasma on the patio stage. The 9pm slot poses tough choices as Chicha Libre cooks up a cocktail of psychedelic cumbia and producer Quantic joins soulstress Alice Russell to tease the lush, warm grooves of forthcoming collaboration Look Around the Corner. The pounding garage soul of UK's the Heavy (you've undoubtedly heard hit "How You Like Me Now?" on your favorite TV show) makes way for the striking voice of Nigerian war-goddess Nneka, for whom comparisons to Lauryn Hill are well-earned. Brooklyn-by-way-of-Israel electro trio Balkan Beat Box whips up a radical gypsy dance party on the patio before reggae legend Jimmy Cliff closes the evening. This lineup is as hard as they come.
