AMF Incubator Love
Saturday, March 19, 2005
On March 18 Kissinger was officially selected as the 2005 Austin Music Foundation Incubator Band! This means that in the next 18 months we will have access to some of the finest minds in Austin, not to mention up to $15,000 to record and release our next record. We're very grateful to the AMF Board and panel who made the difficult decision. The other two finalists, Pong and Friends of Lizzy are both great bands. It looks like the wait between "Me and Otto" and our next record won't be as long as the four years since our last release! Friends of Kissinger, celebrate!

Congratulations Kissinger! They're a fantastic band and deserve all the recognition they can muster. Hopefully their success will encourage other cities to support local music in a similar way. The Austin Music Foundation is set up to legitimately help local artists further their careers and get noticed through an established network of professionals. It's not just another battle of the bands for the local radio station
So, buy the Austin, Tx-funded record from Kissinger and truly support local music!
