NAIA Media Coverage Puts SC On The Map - KCAU-TV Posted: Radio, TV, Print and the Internet. Just as the crowd grows year after year, so does media coverage at the NAIA tournament. NAIA's media coordinator recounts, "Tweeting on Twitter." A Hastings College student says, "I did an audio story kinda previewing the final 4 game tonight." A Walsh University radio announcer explains, "I handle our radio, we publish our media guides." And tournament directors say this kind of media coverage is unparallel to any other spot on the map. Lori Thomson, a national NAIA representative, says, "You wake up and there is a full spread of information about your team or maybe a personal story? People love that! And Sioux City is known for that. Just to come here, be recognized and almost be embraced like a family member and the media has to play a piece in that." And through the years, it's all showcased Sioux City as a destination location. Jim Clark, a Sports Information Director from Walsh University out of Ohio, says, "Fans, players they know that the goal is to get to Sioux City." Thanks to the hard working people of the players on the court and off. Local representatives are currently working hard on another contract. To bring the NAIA tournament back next year. And... many more years after that.

The A.V. Club ’s guide to Chicago at SXSW - A.V. Club Posted: This year, the hyped-up music festival known as South by Southwest turns 25. Like every other year, thousands of bands will swarm Austin to play official and unofficial showcases in the hopes of getting… well, who knows these days. But, one thing is for sure: The idea of trying to catch a handful of bands is downright overwhelming. Fortunately, the A.V. Club Chicago combed through the SXSW listings to find the bands and showcases representing Chicago that should be at the top of everyone's list, and the unconventional reasons why. Most likely to get compared to Bob Dylan: Ezra Furman And The Harpoons Furman has the alt-folk troubadour look and sound down pat. Dylan comparisons are all in good fun, dude! Most likely to avoid sunlight as much as possible: Bruce Lamont The local metal maven makes music that lives in the depths of darkness. Suntan lotion just won't mesh with Lamont's set. Most likely to be this year's Salem: Chet Haze Last year, semi-local witch-house band Salem took the cake as the worst act at SXSW. With barely any live gig experiences under his belt—our own writers were fairly underwhelmed by his local debut—there's a good chance NU rapper Chet Haze will fill Salem's shoes this year. Most likely to get an album's worth of material after playing SXSW: Into It. Over It. IIOI main-dude Evan Thomas Weiss cranked out 52 songs in a year, and recently dropped an EP of material about Chicago. Weiss should at least get half an album's worth of new tunes after SXSW. Most likely to criticize his own set: Lupe Fiasco Lupe doesn't like his forthcoming album, Lasers, all that much, and isn't afraid to say something about it. He might just call himself out while performing some songs off that ill-fated new record. Most likely to attract a crowd of children: Sissy-Eared Mollycoddles Their name sounds like something out of Harry Potter, right? Most likely to remind people of the departed White Stripes: White Mystery They're a brother-sister garage rock duo that kicks out some sick jams. And they're actually siblings. Most likely to provide reprieve from SXSW hysteria: Houses A week of nothing but performance after performance can be downright nerve-wracking. Ambient electronic act Houses should put on a set that's sure to soothe. Most likely to not perform on time: The Cool Kids Their (finally) forthcoming debut album, When Fish Ride Bicycles, is due out sometime this spring. Delays tend to happen at these kinds of festivals, so we wouldn't be too surprised if The Cool Kids' set gets pushed back an hour… or day. Most likely to sound totally different from the other dozen-ish times they've done SXSW: Joan Of Arc No two Joan Of Arc albums is alike, and chances are the group's upcoming SXSW shows will be totally different than the years before. Most likely to play a show that'll increase the temperature: The Hood Internet and Flosstradamus These two DJ acts know how to make a dance party erupt, which will only make folks sweat more. Extra bottles of water and deodorant are highly recommended. Most likely to spend more time recording at SXSW than playing: Netherfriends This band is nearing the end of its yearlong "50 Songs for 50 States" project, where frontman Shawn Rosenblatt decided to write and record a song in each state. They were in Texas before, but, hey, why not try to make two songs in Texas, right? Most likely to attract a crowd that's never heard their music: Smith Westerns These youngsters have gotten so much press in every corner of the Internet, it's hard to not recognize their name. Whether or not people in the crowd have listened to them before is another story. Most likely to eat every type of exotic meat Austin has to offer: Screeching Weasel Who knows why said weasel is screeching, but it could be in fear of being dropped in a large, boiling pot. Most likely to harmonize with songbirds: Maps & Atlases There's something lovely in Maps & Atlases mathy, angular tunes that sounds like it could be sung by golden-voiced birds. Slightly punk birds, anyway. Most likely to confuse attendees based on their name: California Wives They're not from California, and not a single member is a wife. It's like a classic Seinfeld joke waiting to happen. Most likely to feel like the even takes place in the genre that describes most of the bands playing the showcase: HoZac Records showcase The local record label has the cream of Chicago's garage-rock crop, including Radar Eyes, Mickey, and Heavy Times. It'll probably feel like you're hanging out in a garage in the Ukrainian Village instead of a showcase in Austin. Most likely to be the most appropriate showcase to use the word "swag":  15th Annual Schubas & Lincoln Hall SXSW Round-Up Local t-shirt wizards Threadless is sponsoring this show, which has a couple heavy hitting Chicago bands. Plus, Screaming Females and the possibility of Threadless gear? Swag. Most likely to get live blogged: Windish Agency showcase With Cloud Nothings kicking things off and Cults closing, the Urban Outfitters-sponsored affair features seven highly blogged about acts on one stage. No doubt some eager attendee will upload some animated GIFs to their music blog every hour on the hour. Most likely to persuade people that "anything but country" isn't a legitimate marker for good taste: Bloodshot Records showcase With alt-country all-stars like Exene Cervenka, Ha Ha Tonka, and the Waco Brothers in the lineup, it's sure to convince some folks to switch their Facebook music interests. Most likely to attract people who hope and pray that Kanye West will make a surprise appearance: Pitchfork's #Offline showcases Kanye dropped by Pitchfork's #Offline mini-fest during CMJ this past fall. Chances are, some folks will have their fingers crossed that ole' Yeezy will make an Austin appearance as well. Most likely to be the best showcase that we might also have a professional interest in: The A.V. Club's free SXSW show Oh, hey, there's a showcase that features a beloved punk icon (Ted Leo), an indie powerhouse (Low), an electronic act that put out one of the best albums from last year (Baths), and nine other awesome acts? And it's free? Might as well line up now. Oh, yeah, it's sponsored by The A.V. Club, so it's guaranteed to be great.
