Here's what's been going on around the Network lately...

Do214's One Year Anniversary Party

The crew in Dallas set the bar pretty high for anniversary parties last weekend. To celebrate turning one, Do214 brought Dan Deacon, Prince Rama, Ben O’Brien, and Party Static in front of a packed house at Trees nightclub.

Do214 users could RSVP for free entry, or pay $5 for guaranteed entry, and as the pictures show they came out in force.

DoLA’s Big Score On 4/20

Not surprisingly, the 4/20 content you guys put together turned out to be some of the best performing content this month -- even better than Record Store Day. Every metro that put out 4/20 content this year had it outperform their Record Store Day content by a long shot -- in some cases by almost 10x.

But the biggest winner of them all was DoLA, whose “Guide to 4/20” content accounted for over 12% of site traffic in the week leading up to the 20th. On top of that, the guide was sponsored by a medical marijuana delivery service and feature a giveaway for some HUF “Plantlife” socks.

doNYC’s Signature Blend Shows

doNYC hosted the first two events of their Jack Daniel’s Signature Blend series this month, and both of them have packed the house.

The first, on April 13th, featured Mail The Horse and Public Access T.V. playing in front of an intimate crowd at Manhattan’s Rockwood Music Hall. The second, just this past Tuesday, brought Grand Electric and Strange Names to Brooklyn’s Good Room.


The next is this Wednesday at Webster Hall so be sure to share the RSVP with your contacts in NYC.
