X-Mix 2011 Wrap-Up
Mixtape Atlanta's third annual holiday party X-Mix was a Motherfluffin' success thanks to sponsor Whynatte, entertaining musical acts, and a room of party people at Star Bar! Whynatte got the party started in festive fashion by supplying Motherfluffer shots to the entire venue and a celebratory toast led by Whynatte co-founder Jesse Altman.
Lauren St. Jane and the Dead Westerns got the dance floor warmed up with their infectious country and rock original songs. Ben Deignan followed with an acoustic set featuring some of his popular songs as well as creative covers. Songs for Kids Foundation founder Josh Rifkind stopped by for his annual rendetition of "The Hanukkah Song" with a few lyric updates.
Aerobics Cube led the audience in some holiday inspired dance workout moves with their special Christmas song only set, including the creative "playing" of jingle Shake Weights. The newly formed super group of Bruce Butkovich (The Futura Bold), Chris Cox (The Greater Vavoom), Jade Lemons (Injected), and Rob Hammersmith (Skid Row) gave the audience a preview of their new band and songs. James Hall made his third straight performance at X-Mix with an original sing-along holiday song, he recently wrote for the occasion.
Wolves closed the live music section of the night on a high note and they were the perfect kick-off to the night long dance party that lasted well into the early morning.

Special thanks to everyone that made X-Mix 2011 such a great success. Mostly importantly, thank you all for donating to Toys for Tots and Songs for Kids Foundation.

Getting Yachty and Holiday with The Clauses
Friday December 9, Yacht Rock Revue docked their annual holiday show into a new destination at The Buckhead Theatre. The gentlemen put on a fine show playing two entertaining sets, including their trademark soft rock and holiday favorites new and old. For the last four songs, the band was joined by the Please Rock choir. A special addition to the show, the choir was first introduced two months ago at the sold-out Thriller/ Purple Rain Halloween show at Variety Playhouse. The choir jammed and side-steped along with the guys on songs like "Africa," "Happy Xmas," and the finale "We are the World."
While Yacht Rock Revue kept the crowd entertained onstage, Santa and Mrs. Claus took photos and listened to wishes before setting sail in their yacht for Christmas Island. Get your Santa Photo Booth photos, here.

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like X-Mix
This year we are dreaming of a White X-Mix for Mixtape Atlanta's third annual holiday showcase at Star Bar on December 17. Inspired by the classic holiday film, Star Bar will be transformed into a winter wonderland with snow and fluffy goodness. Speaking of fluffy goodness, this year X-Mix will serve as the launch of Whynatte's newest shot- Motherfluffer, a combination of Pinnacle Marshmallow vodka and the local latte beverage. Don't forget to get your photo taken downstairs at the Mixtape Atlanta and Whynatte Motherfluffer photo booth, where there will be a special guest. Whynatte will also be starting the party right with a festive Motherfluffer toast to all of Star Bar at 9:30PM, so don't be late.
Doors for X-Mix open at 9PM and the music will start immediately following Whynatte's toast. This year, we couldn't be more excited about the immensely talented and entertaining artists gracing the X-Mix stage.
Lauren St. Jane and The Dead Westerns have had an amazing 2011 with appearances across the country to local shows at Smith's Olde Bar and Vinyl, and this will mark the trio's first appearance at Star Bar.
From a live DVD release earlier this year to performing at Peachtree Music Festival as well as performances at diverse venues across Atlanta, Ben Deignan continues to draw a crowd and new fans with his soulful mixture of rock, pop, and funk.
Aerobics Cube will be performing an exclusive mix of holiday songs in their unique aerobic, 80s workout, Jane Fonda approved style. The X-Mix stage will also host the premiere of a new super group featuring some of Atlanta's most talented and respected musicians including, Bruce Butkovich (The Futura Bold), Chris Cox (The Greater Vavoom), Jade Lemons (Injected), and Rob Hammersmith (Skid Row). Wolves will closeout the evening with their headlining set of danceable pop, rock, electric songs. Mixtape Atlanta is also very excited to have James Hall stop by for the third year in a row for a special performance.
Don't miss X-Mix 2011 on December 17 at Star Bar in Little Five Points. Doors open at 9PM; music and merriment starts at 9:30PM. The upstairs of Star Bar will also be NON-SMOKING for this event. Cover is $10 donation or $5 with a new, unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots. All proceeds benefit Songs for Kids Foundation.
