Rademacher’s IndieGoGo campaign<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/p>\n

On the cusp of South by Southwest<\/a>, excitement is building – stoked bands who\u2019ve been awarded one of the coveted showcases, madly swirling PR campaigns, masses of fans and bloggers that descend on Austin, the parties, the mythical RSL Outlaw Roadshow<\/a>…<\/p>\n

For a band to play SXSW, whether by official invitation or sheer determination to land a gig somewhere on the periphery, is considered a badge of honor. The days of being \u201cdiscovered\u201d by a label and given a big money record deal are long gone, but it\u2019s still a great music festival and a place to make connections. Musicians back in their hometown watch the flurry of activity and make their own plans to \u201cget there next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Rademacher<\/a>. A wonderful little indie rock band from Fresno, California \u2014 within close enough tossing range of L.A.\u2019s Eastside to be considered part of that scene. They just released the third installment of their \u2018EP triology,\u2019 Baby Hawk<\/a>, which tells the tale of a struggling indie band on the verge of great things, though just a hair shy of arrival \u2014 a day late, a dollar short, if you will. It\u2019s a DIY primer, their musical autobiography. <\/p>\n

The curtain opens on The Partisan<\/a> in Merced. A band plays to what sounds like three people and the bartender. Through trials and tribulations, there comes massive change, spiritual collapse and rebirth, renewed hope and infinite possibilities.
