Our Crowdfunding Groups
Local Live is a combination of TV and radio show that broadcasts over UT Austin’s Texas Student Television network and KVRX radio. We create a platform for local bands to gain exposure, provide a venue for anyone interested in Austin's local music scene searching for new music, and contribute to Austin's title as the live music capital of the world.
Local Live is one of the longest running programs on TSTV, and today’s crew strives to continue its legacy. Everyone on the Local Live team dedicates countless hours every week to ensure the band and audience has the best experience. We aim to embrace the true culture of Austin and be different, weird, and unique.
The primary audience for our show is anyone in the local area interested in music, in addition to anyone who is interested in Austin's unique music scene - wherever in the world they may be. We also have international fans who subscribe to our YouTube channel. Local bands rely on our show as a way to gain further exposure and find larger audiences. By broadcasting through TSTV and KVRX, we reach many UT students as well as radio listeners in the local area.
We provide a service to both music lovers and local musicians to achieve greater success. When they perform on our show we give them a high quality, post produced version of their performance. Many bands, especially local ones, normally wouldn't have the means or access to professionally film or broadcast their performances, and we are proud to provide this service for free.
Local Live is entirely run by volunteers who train newcomers and produce the show for free. At Local Live, aspiring camera operators, directors, programmers, sound engineers, and technicians can find real life training that can help them find jobs. Currently, our producers have been paying out of pocket for most of the props for set design. With the funds we hope to raise, we would be able to implement more robust, visually enticing set designs to uniquely and adequately complement each band's performance. Additionally, we would use some of the funds to pay for promotional material - Internet ads, newspaper ads, and printing fliers. Our main objective is to continue Local Live’s legacy.
