March 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) Austin-based writer Phil West has recognized the up-and-coming hard rock band, Whiskey Six, in his article on South by Southwest (SXSW) for the national news website, Huffington Post.
SXSW is the largest annual showcase for the music industry and features a week of independent and flourishing artists in all genres of music. Industry honchos from all over the world attend SXSW hoping to discover the latest trends in music and fresh talent.
The band was featured in the Texas Rockfest, a showcase specifically geared towards rock and heavy metal bands. In his review, Phil West notes,
"Rockfest actually featured one of my favorite, most unexpected moments of the week -- seeing teenage sensations Yayo charge through the final songs of a set that happily embraced decades of rock cliches with a youthful exuberance and the optimistic sincerity of a band that clearly aced its School of Rock final exams. As soon as Yayo finished its "I Want You to Hate Me" (which led one young woman in the audience to exult, "I love to hate you!") with a final, triumphant textbook rock ending -- and of course it was -- lights came up on the stage next door, and Whiskey Six, a clearly hard-living quartet from Phoenix, started its set, completing a tableau that might have been Portrait of Dorian Gray, might have been cautionary tale to Yayo, but was delicious all the same."
Whiskey Six was scheduled for 3 separate showcases for the Texas Rockfest, beginning St. Patrick's Day on the main stage on the corner of 5th and Colorado and ending with a finale show on the rooftop of the Roial nightclub. The band performed songs from their latest release, "Love, Sex, and American Excess" as well as new material not yet recorded.
In only its second year, Whiskey Six was voted 'Best Local Band' for 2010 by the Phoenix New Times Readers' Poll and recently won the 'Last Band Standing' contest, judged by heavy metal icon Tony Campos of Static X.

MIAMI – March 21, 2011 -- Marine biologists have solved a conundrum that has stumped them for years – how to count reef fish. It may sound simple, but the task is actually complex and critical in helping to evaluate the state of our oceans, coral reefs and the marine life that populate them.

Blue Tax Resolves Stressful IRS Assessment for Business Owner
2011-03-22
It's bad enough for a business owner to be re-assessed taxes for a company that he owns, imagine being re-assessed for a company that you no longer own! That's exactly what happened to Mark (Panama City, FL) who came to the office of Blue Tax upon receiving a tax re-assessment notice for $25,000 from the IRS for a business he had already sold.
Naturally, the greatest challenge for the Blue Tax team was in finding out why Mark was being assessed for a business he was no longer apart of. The Blue Tax team of attorneys set the goal for themselves to resolve the issue and ...
Health information technology 'control tower' could improve earthquake response
2011-03-22
NEW YORK (Mar. 21, 2011) -- A new study published by researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College and the University of California, Davis, foresees improvements in patient outcomes after a major earthquake through more effective use of information technology. A control tower-style telemedicine hub to manage electronic traffic between first responders and remote medical experts could boost the likelihood that critically injured victims will get timely care and survive, according to the team's computer simulation model.

Huge ocean 'Frisbees' spin off Brazil's coast
2011-03-22
MIAMI – March 21, 2011 -- As the North Brazil Current (NBC) moves northward along the northeastern coast of Brazil, it draws water from the South Equatorial Current and the freshwater outflow from the Amazon River, providing a source for warm, nutrient-rich water. Just northwest of Brazil, part of the NBC banks a hard right and flows east along the equator. Occasionally, the turn is especially sharp and the current loops around, pinching off an independently- traveling parcel of warm water. This portion travels northwest with a clockwise rotation, moving through the ocean ...
