L4M MUSIC SHOWCASE AT SXSW 2009

AUSTIN, TX-March 24, 2009 –With endless worthy events to choose from at this year’s
SXSW Music Festival, the Lawyer4Musicians (L4M) Showcase was at the top of every
music reveler’s choice picks on March 21st. With Fatlip (of The Pharcyde) starting out
the lineup with a solid intro and sets sprinkled throughout, the tone was set for more to
come. Hip hop aficionados, electro rock fans, and the like began lining up around
Momo’s Club to see a packed bill that also included The Cool Kids, Kidz in the Hall,
Hey Champ, Whatzisface, French Horn Rebellion, DJ Clinton Sparks, and surprise
guests Pac Div with host MC Dumbfoundead.

As a non-official SXSW event, 500+ fans were able to enjoy a free show with no hassle,
as long as they showed up early to escape the line.  With Red Stripe beer flowing freely,
thanks to Cornerstone Promotions, and impromptu freestyling on the mic, the energy of
the show only continued to gain momentum throughout the night, closing things out an
hour past it’s scheduled time to end. The first 100 guests walked away with goodie bags
provided for the L4M Music Showcase.

While highlights included an unexpected Cool Kids collab performance with Pac Div and
a diverse range of music, the show created a forum for emerging musicians to network
with industry professionals, such as sponsors L4M and Music Dealers, to gain advice
about launching their careers.

L4M was created by Josh Kaplan, an attorney at Stahl Cowen, who works with
musicians, producers, DJ’s, artists, filmmaker, writers, and designers to protect their
creative work product. For more information about L4M’s services, visit his blog at

The L4M Music Showcase was sponsored by Stahl Cowen, Music Dealers, Vapors
Magazine, Karmaloop TV, WeSC, and Catharsis NYC.
