Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) May 31, 2004--House Of Gigs will showcase several
musical talents at DreamCon, a three-day genre convention being held June 11-13,
2004 in Jacksonville, Fla. at the Adam’s Mark Hotel.
And just as DreamCon will bring thousands of tourists to Jacksonville's
up-and-coming downtown economy, House of Gigs was created as a Web-based
opportunity dedicated to delivering lesser-known, indie and local bands to the
largest audience possible.
"House of Gigs is thrilled to be producing the musical events at DreamCon, since
the con itself expects to host thousands of attendees," says House of Gigs’
President Jon Boutelle. "This kind of event scale allows us to expose different
types of music to a diverse audience. To that end, we’re making sure there’s a
wide range of musical performances throughout the weekend — everything from the
sumptuous, jazz stylings of Chase Masterson to the dark and heavy sounds of
Yeti."
Other musical guests include the goth/folk sounds of Voltaire — in his first
Florida show ever! — and the orchestral/gaming sounds of Select Start, as well
as the funk/pop/rock beats of Jacksonville’s very own Fusebox Funk. Special
guests of House of Gigs also include the nerdcore rap of MC Chris, the
hard-driving goth/metal of Jacksonville’s Merry Widow, and the punk persuasion
of Green Goblyn.
"Music is an intricate part of sci-fi, fantasy and pop culture," explains
Boutelle. "For instance, ‘The Matrix’ just wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t
for its bass-pounding, techno-driven, metal soundtrack. When it comes to film or
television, music adds so much … it can truly make or break a story."
As far as DreamCon is concerned, here’s who will be contributing to the tale of
our inaugural year:
Chase Masterson Friday, 7:30-8:30 p.m.
FuseBox Funk Friday, 9:00-11:00 p.m.
Yeti Saturday, 7:30-8:30 p.m.
Select Start Saturday, 8:45-9:30 p.m.
Voltaire Saturday, 9:45-11:00 p.m.
