Tricycle Records and The Bay Bridged are proud to announce the second annual Bay Area Takeover, a six hour unofficial day party during the 2009 South by Southwest Music Festival. Taking place on Thursday, March 19th, 2009 from 12pm to 6pm at Austin’s Beauty Bar, the party follows in the tradition of last year’s acclaimed event, with performances by over a dozen of the San Francisco Bay Area’s hottest artists representing a broad cross-section of the Bay’s fertile and diverse music scene.
